Please HELP!!!

Right now it is playing film festivals in hopes of getting picked up for distribution. If and when it does, it would then be released in theaters.

Unfortunately, film festival play is NOT acceptable. I see the trailer and I want more! Oh well, guess all we can do is wait and hope.
Keep us updated, though, Larry!

I doubt it will ever be seen in any major theatres. Check amazon and other places that you can buy indie movies and look for it!

Personally, I saw it at a film fest, and I'm sure that was the only chance I will ever get.

It just showed at the Alaska Film Festival. It may continue to play festivals and get distribution.

Is the movie any good, though? It appears that way from the trailer and everyone who I've shown the trailer to agree and are like, "When's that coming out? Looks pretty good."
LARRY!!!
You saw both The Lost and The Standard, correct? Which would you say is better? Please say The Standard cuz I really didn't care for The Lost. Whoops! Did I say that out loud?

BTW, iLUVfrost. . .4ever and a day!!!

reply

Haha. Well, I did see The Lost but, and I hate to disappoint, I have not seen The Standard. My interest in the film stems solely from the fact that I admire Alex's work and, as he has done precious few films, have been anxious to see it.

So...while I would love to compare the two, it will have to wait until I have the opportunity.

I guess we are in the same boat!

And?? Are you trying to impress anyone besides yourself? Like who cares you name dropping nobody! Your post has nothing to do with the subject!

Good news! THE STANDARD will be playing this Friday in Memphis at the Fylmz Festival and in April at the Phoenix Film Festival.

it's been released on netflix and at hollywood video and movie gallery (which is closing down), but also gets a wide DVD release in september at best buy, walmart, target, etc...

I saw the movie today (Phoenix Film Festival) and staid for the Q & A with the director. He said that he is going to do a few more festivals (I'd assume to win awards and gain momentum) and then his agency will push the movie all out to distributors. I wish everyone involved in the process the best of luck because I really think this movie should be distributed nationwide.

reply

Thanks for the update! Who else was there for the Q&A?

How were the performances? Alex Frost?

Thanks!

Hey everyone,
Just to give you an actual update...The Standard should be available soon on DVD, by the end of the year. Unfortunatly i don't think it'll be getting the theatrical release that we all wanted..it would end up costing us a lot more cash and ive already moved on to other projects. But when its out, it should be easy to find at any blockbuster location, or online.
Thanks
Jordan
