Hey, cool headline, eh? Just like the Daily News when they try to make a story seem a little risque.
We were just reading about local filmmakers Jason Eisener, Rob Cotteril and Jonathan Davies who won a contest for best trailer for "Hobo With a Shotgun", even the title gets your interest. But even more important, the trailer received the interest of Robert Rodriguez and will be show during intermission of Grindhouse, the Rodriqez/Quentin Tarentino's ode to "never enough blood" filmmaking.
Alliance/Atlantis will cut the trailer into 150 prints of the film for distribution across Canada. (I hope the president of Alliance isn't too disappointed when he finds out that Nova Scotia is in Canada.)
Anyway, congrtulations to the filmmakers on a triumph and hopefully you will be able to parley this into developing a thriving career. And they did it for the grand total of $150! To put that into context, The Halifax Film Company could have made 33,649 of these same priced trailers for the money it received through our public funding agencies last year.
