Got no plans this weekend? Why not save the planet?
Hello friends,An incredible no-budget film called
Take Out is opening on five screens in LA this weekend and they really need all the help they can get. I’ve never actually met the director, Sean Baker, but I am a HUGE fan of this movie, as well as his newest movie, Prince of Broadway, so i’m trying to spread the word in my own tiny way. Go see it, or spread the word to LA folks who might be interested. Here’s my Hammer to Nail review of the film: http://www.hammertonail.com/?p=80Thanks!

And then back to the here and now of whachagonnado this weekend, no matter where you are, you also have a chance to see Alan Ball’s TOWELHEAD, which I had the pleasure of producing. We are not self-distributing, but are the final release for the old guard upstart Warner Indie. This is a film that embodies the reasons why I wanted to make films. As Albert Berger, a friend and producer of many great films just emailed me: “It was provocative, unpredictable and infuriating (everything I want and expect from a This is That Joint).” And the promise I made last week still stands: If you go and aren’t convinced that it was worth your time and money, I will refund your money (and if I was Dr. Who, I’d give you back your time too!) — upon proof of purchase.
