SXSW Winner 'In A Dream' Gets a Trailer and Theatrical Dates
Filed under: Documentary », Drama », Independent », SXSW », Movie Marketing », Trailers and Clips »
If you've been to Philadelphia you've probably seen the mosiacs and murals of artist Isaiah Zagar. (Or your hometown may have a few ripoffs -- mine does!) He's now the subject of a documentary titled In a Dream, which also happens to be the directorial debut of his son, Jeremiah Zagar. The documentary chronicles Isaiah's work as the artist suffers a personal breakdown, and the implosion of his marriage and family life. From the trailer, it looks like something we can all relate to, yet feels a bit alien at the same time -- the Zagars clearly experience life and emotion on an almost operatic level.
Scott Weinberg (and Philly native) saw it at SXSW premiere, where it won the Emerging Visions Audience Award. While press releases call it "harrowing", Scott thought it was "a portrait of a sweet but slightly fractured man, it's one of the most unexpectedly touching documentaries I've ever seen." It's now getting a theatrical release in New York, Philadelphia, San Fransisco, and Los Angeles, with more cities and dates to be announced. Check out the documentary's official website and blog to find out when and where it'll be playing. As you wait for it appear in your city, you can view the trailer below:

Indiepix: a new way to watch! Or not.
Filed under: Independent », Tech Stuff », Distribution », Newsstand », Home Entertainment », Cinematical Indie »
According to Variety, e-tailer IndiePix yesterday release software that they hope will "change the way indie pics are distributed." By downloading the Disc Factory software, consumers
will be able to not only download movies to their desktops, but also burn those movies to DVD, thus freeing them
(legally) to watch downloads via a traditional system (aka DVD player and TV) for the first time. Though the number of
titles available to buy under this new system is only about 50 right now, IndiePix hopes to double that number by the
end of the month. In addition, the company reports that they will be keeping just 20-25% of the $15 it costs to
download a feature; their goal, they say, is not profit but "to be a positive force in the [independent] film
biz."What's odd about this whole thing is that the people at IndiePix are excited enough about the Download-to-Own initiative to either send out a press release or actually call Variety (yesterday afternoon), and yet as of this morning, their website shows no signs that the program even exists. So, either you have to accidentally click on one of the 50 participating films to find out about it, or they've changed their minds and scrapped the whole thing. What's really going on is anybody's guess.
