Another maverick NYC, Digital DIY filmmaker is Michael Knowles. We first became aware of Michael after his DIY feature film release, the claustrophobic Room 314 which the New York Times called "an actors dream." He had an extensive (I mean extensive) festival run, while apparently self distributing his DVDs - a practice he has continued on to the next project. Room 314 has been on my Netflix Queue and I should be able to finally see it by next week.
His second feature, is not yet on Netflix (I'm still waiting), but was done in '07, in the same city, also about relationships, and also with some of the same actors (a practice we really dig) as his previous feature. The film is called One Night, and asks the question, "How much can one night change your life?" We hope to soon see. Both trailers are below, and make sure to go to Michael's Website at the bottom to read all about him and his works. Actors, take notice!
