Oz and the Bricks You Find
Our new website launches today, and I hope everyone finds it easier to navigate and more fun for their eyeballs than our old site. I also hope you keep checking back for daily updates in our Blog and Spotlight News sections, where we'll be posting information and progress and gossip of all our favorite old timey Slamdancers.
It's a big indie world out there, and we'd like to be the Toto to your Dorothy in that journey. Or perhaps the winged monkey to your Wicked Witch? Crap, I'm terrible with metaphors. What makes us the fun and helpful one? Forget it, we'll be the Professor that peddles fake medicine at the beginning... not because it's a particularly apt comparison, but because that guy seems to be hooked up. Not to mention he also plays the Wizard.
(This all reminds me, are "we" watching Tin Man on the SciFi channel? What do "we" think of it? So many questions here in Blogland.)
I suppose that isn't the most of indie of references, and since I'm always out to impress and/or amaze, I will throw this recommendation at you: a couple years ago we had a completely unbelievable film submitted called "Of Oz The Wizard". The filmmaker, Matt Bucy, took the original footage and then re-constructed it all... in alphabetical order. Every word spoken, every word sung (and I say "word" but he included every "um" and "ah"... your mind would triple axle with the insanity in the "a" section alone), every word written: that's right, even the credits were re-created in the original font, but in alphabetical order.
It didn't make our narrative line-up that year, but it's one of those films that I feel lucky to have seen. I think that's what Slamdance is all about, helping movies we love (and scripts and games and people) get an audience. I hope you've enjoyed what we've sent your way so far; keep your eye out here for other goodies (officially and not)!
