My Inner Demons Want To Touch your Outer Demons
February 2nd, 2010Dearest friends, family and fans,
I am so very excited to write this blog. This particular blog. A journey that started almost three years ago is coming to an end, and I would be the happiest filmmaker nobody knows if you would join me on this moment. That movie I made, the comedy about the demons in love called LO, is being released nationwide on DVD this Valentines Day weekend!
Got a Netflix account? It’ll be there. Gotta Blockbuster account? It’ll be there. Amazon, BestBuy and hundreds of other outlets and online services will have Lo. True, I am asking you to support my film. The more you rent, buy, rate and review the more opportunities will open up for me as a filmmaker. That being said, I am not just asking you to blindly support. I truly believe that you will enjoy this movie. It is unique from anything Hollywood is putting out and embodies the true spirit of independent filmmaking. It is funny, odd and even touching. Try something different this Valentines Day and explore the idea of love through the eyes of those who live in Hell. Once you do, let me know what you think!
Here is a trailer for the movie. It comes off looking more like a horror film here, but do not be fooled. The distributor asked me to cut it this way in order to better sell it to the bigger chains who did not know how to market a demon love story. Â After you’ve watched it, check out below for some ways in which you can help support this little love of mine.
A few ways to help support if your bored and totally awesome:
1. Rent/Buy the movie. Put it on your Netflix or BlockBuster queue or pre-order it from Amazon or Best Buy. This will show the companies that there is a demand for it. I will supply links to all below.

BlockBuster: http://tiny.cc/dqDDK
Amazon: http://tiny.cc/JOMzX
BestBuy: http://tiny.cc/f7Eha
2. Check out our page on IMDB. Every click to that site raises our STAR METER, which is a good thing. If you like chatting on message boards you can do that here as well.

3. Spread the word. Tell people about it. Blog about. Make videos about it. Whatever. Every little bit helps.
4. Rate the film on the sites mentioned above and leave reviews. WARNING: Please do not do this blindly or just to be nice. I am not a fan of fake reviews. If you truly have something nice to say then compose to your hearts content. If you hated it and need to tell the world, then I give you the same advice. Write that review! Good or bad. There should always be balance. To much of a good thing is ALWAYS fishy. Netflix, Amazon and IMDB are great places to write reviews on.
Finally I will leave you with a couple early reviews of the film that I recently discovered. I was tickled blood red to read them, especially since they come from unbiased sources.

My sentiments exactly. This was probably one of the best indie flicks I’ve ever seen. I am usually pretty hesitant to try new ‘culty’ stuff, afraid that I won’t ‘get it’, but this one blew me away. I don’t know what else to say, this movie will be in my to 10 for a long time and I’ll be evangelizing about it to anyone who will listen.
