There’s another fantastic indie film that came out last year, that I think is probably your kind of film (definitely thought-provoking, and quite geeky too) – The Nines, written and directed by John August (Writer of Go, and screenplay adapter of Big Fish and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, amongst others). It came and went in the cinemas over here in November/December (can’t remember exactly) and will be out in March on DVD over here…

And, if you’ve not come across it before, John’s blog (linked with his name above) is one of the best screen-writing blogs that I’ve ever read. At the moment, obviously, dominated by strike-related posts, but still will the occasional posts on the industry in general, or writing tips.

One of the coolest things that he did was release a load of source footage that was used for the trailer for The Nines, and allowed people to cut their own trailers. He keeps talking about wanting to do the same thing with the whole film! I’m not sure that that’s ever been even considered before!

Anyway, definitely check it out.

And sorry for turning this into a bit of a plug for someone else’s blog…!
