Anything can get screened at a film festival. It doesn't make it a good film though. Only *good* indie films get picked up from festivals for distribution. The others go straight to dvd;)
Good movies get promoted by fans of the movie, not the makers.
Zombies? That is so original and never been done before eh? Why don't you do something no one has ever done like 'The Sixth Sense', or 'Blair Witch Project', or the original 'Ringu', or 'Hard Candy' or 'Friday the 13th'? Most of which were low budget films that excelled because of something call, wait for it, imagination. Who wants to see another low budget zombie film that has 'Dawn of the Dead', Zombies and Romero as the tag words for a sh*tty trailer on YouTube? Gotta say though, I loved the KISS masks all of the zombies have on and the guy running along with his eye hanging out. It looks sooooo real man. The acting rivals Russ Meyer films as among the worst I've ever seen! Except Russ Meyer films are meant to be campy, in the trailer for this junk film, you can tell how painfully hard the *actors* are trying to act. Smart that you didn't have *too* much so called 'acting' in your trailer. But it should be enough to scare anyone with any standard of film appreciation away. Even an eight year old with a Super8 could shoot better, scarier stuff than whats in your trailer, and trailers usually show the BEST stuff than whats in this film!! RAFL >;0 How dare you associate this garbage with Romero. Fans would kill for less.
I noticed on tempevideo that there are other great movies such as 'Beer Drinkers in Space', 'Oranges: Revenge of the Eggplant' (which looks funny at least), 'The Red Skulls' and 'Basic How-To Halloween Makeups'. Oh, I forgot 'Kingdom of the Vampire' (1991) which has 10 votes on IMDB. All sound like Ed Wood films. 'Plan 9 from Outer Space' has 10,369 votes. Maybe you will be lucky and Deadlands: The Rising will be as much a cult sensation as Plan 9 was. Tempevideo, I feel, is a site that knows exceptional talent when it sees it!!!!
Well, enough fun, I have to go. Some of us have real jobs to go to, and its 230am here. Just one thought to leave you with: If you are going to do something, do it properly or don't do it at all, seriously dude.
Try making a porno or something that you can manage artisically.

I don't remember ever seeing a 100 car traffic jam in any zombie film. I believe we were the first to do that... Thank you very much. You don't have to have an original monster idea as long as some of the gags or scenes are original in the material you are using.
And what is so frigging original about Blair Witch? A boogeyman, or supernatural monster lurking in the woods. oooooooo So original so scary. Wow what a brain child of filmmaking right there.
The guys whom made BW get one bit of credit from me... They had an excellent marketing plan and they got PAID! Other than that I was $10 and 90 minutes of my life for a 5 second climax.

As I already said, I only used these movies as an example or ORIGINAL thought. Nobody said BW was good, did they? Bad Taste took a couple of years to film, thus they kept working and came up with the cash to make it a $150,000 (NZD were talking here) and shot each weekend, accumilating film as they went along. His scope was obviously much larger than yours, and he went on to do bigger and better things ie: Braindead.
BW was different, not good, but DIFFERENT because it used guerilla camera techniques shot as a 'reality' themed gimmick, my god I hated the F UCKING thing with the bitchs snot coming outta her feral nostrils. So what if one scene in your movie hasn't been done before? Its a zombie film. You spent how long trying figure out something original, and 100 empty cars in a zombie film is all you could come up with?? F uck, you are retarded. At least your friends' film, "Womens Studies" has an original idea. I would be much more prepared to shell out cash for it since it has an original premise.
Duh, terrorist s hit happens so the dead become undead ,eat flesh... wow.
hello? How gay are you.
