Hey guys, I recently completed post on my very first feature film. I wrote and directed as well as played the lead. We have Horatio Sanz (SNL), Ken Davitian (Borat), Bryan Callen (MadTV), Mary Carey (Former pornstar) and many more in the film. Hope you guys enjoy and can share! I greatly appreciate it!

 
I can't believe I wasn't asked to star in this.
 
haha was laughing. good shit!

It has a Kentucky Fried Movie vibe to it.

And that worked out pretty good for John Landis.
 
Didn't figure it out from that. Hope he sees this.

I didn't even realize that it is a real movie.

Hey guys, glad you enjoyed the trailer! It's a real feature film, 95 mins, and I'm looking to get distribution for it as we speak. It's my first feature film so I'm pretty new at navigating the scene. Will let you know when and if it gets more traction so you can watch the full thing. Please share on social media if you can! I don't post here that often but I'm on these boards everyday as a die hard Blazer fan.

Thanks!

Where does a movie like that get shown? It was years ago but my friend wanted to go see Orgasmo, I believe there was one place in Portland showing it.

Netflix? Hulu? Curious.
 
...funny stuff Amir -- I especially liked the scene when you're getting held up in the air and choked, good luck with distribution!

If you're hoping to get theater play, you're going to be disappointed. That's a lottery game and shouldn't be your goal. Netflix, Hulu, On Demand, Red Box, etc might be a good fit. We'll see if we can get some visibility.
 
Looks like a fun flick...well done Amiricon! Enjoyed the trailer

I imagine you start with film festivals that might cater to the comedy genre. Get exposure from that and hopefully work that into some type of distribution based on interest after screenings. I've never directed (kudos to you), but that's the way it has worked for the couple movies I have acted in.

Yeah, already submitted to a bunch of festivals but it can also get pretty pricey. Would be nice to bypass the process and not have to wait forever since the festival process is so long.

Understand completely. If you can find distribution while bypassing the festival circuit, then more power to you. I know some of my film maker friends take festival submission costs into account when allocating a budget for the filming process. It isn't a production cost per se, but it should be accounted for ahead of time if possible (I know we are all not made out of money). Congrats on getting this done. It can be quite the daunting prospect.
