What else is happening?
I released my films + my comedy album on Bit Torrent Bundle recently. My 3 films have been available for about 3 weeks now. They have the option to be downloaded or viewed via streaming.
Here are some numbers....
The Truth About Average Guys = 179 downloads + 116 plays = seen by 295 people
S.O.L. = 245 downloads + 510 plays = seen by 755 people
Wingmen Incorporated = 71 downloads + 83 plays = seen by 154 people.
All 3 total = 495 downloads + 709 plays = seen by 1204 people.

I have no idea why S.O.L. (which I think is my worst film) has been seen by the most people.
Butt Stuff was just released this evening and already has 7 downloads + 4 plays = heard by 11 people
Anything else?
My co-worker (and friend) Tim, said he believed in me and was going to put $500 towards I Don't Recall next spring when we do our fundraiser. It meant a lot to hear Tim say that (even if it was in a drunken text, which I later asked him about in person....he does remember saying it and is in for $500 next spring!). But yeah, it means a lot to hear Tim say that b/c my own parents don't seem to think I should be pursuing a movie career (despite having made 3 multi-award winning comedy films all while having ZERO education on the subject!).
My dad has told me on at least 3 occasions since 2009 that I need to give up on this "movie hobby" b/c it's time to grow up. My mother has been telling my lovely girlfriend Kate that she also thinks it's time I give up and pick a different career path. Luckily for me, Kate has stuck up for me every time. I don't know where I would be without her.
It's just frustrating to have zero support from your own parents. I was really good at just about most things I tried growing up, so you'd think I'd have confidence oozing from all my pores. But that was not that case. Despite being pretty good at most things, I received pretty much zero encouragement for pretty much everything I did (actually got called stupid a lot, despite later finding out that I have an IQ of 140). So I'm almost to the point where I want to tell my parents if they aren't going to encourage me could they at least have the decency to shut the fuck up? They don't even have to help, just stay the fuck out of the way.
My family as a whole doesn't really seem to care about the whole movie thing. Aunts, uncles, cousins, etc... Which sucks b/c once I do make it I'm sure they will all be lining up to take credit for my success saying they believed in me all along.
So yeah, long rant, but it's pretty cool that Tim is in for $500. That definitively made my week. I should have at least $2500 of my own money to go towards the film as well. I'm hoping to raise a minimum of $10k to make this thing, but would love to get closer to $25k. I could do some real damage with a $25k budget. I think with my connections and Kate's, we should be somewhere between those amounts.
