Indie Films Direct

Really great article/review/interview over on Independent Films Direct came out yesterday.

"It will go down as one of the finest indie films of 2008. It's crude and bombastic. It's sublime and tender. In Westby's capable hands, the film shoots not one single blank."

Nicer words have not been spoken about the film! We're honored to have such a glowing review from an group we so respect. Check it out!

Which films do you think are awesome?

Check out this new video from the FHTA team, nice inclusion of some Auteur clips - thanks guys! Happy to still be rocking our way through the FHTA process, we'll see where it leads. Thank you all for the recent surge of success, we've really seen and heard it around the net. Keep those friend requests and subscriptions coming.

enough is enough?

So, the IFC youtube video is doing pretty well, at least by most standards, right? As of the moment, the interview is hitting about 1.8 million views, which is, oh, I don't know about 1.7 million more than expected. The clip is currently accounting for %89 percent of IFC's channel views across Youtube, and it's up against peeps like Wes Anderson and Javier Bardem... But anyway, that's not the point. The point is, 1.8 isn't enough, meaning once you've had 1.8, 2 million feels so close. So, let's do it, huh? Let's hit that 2 million mark, just to give fodder for another blog post down the road calling you all out to help it hit 5 million. Thanks for watching y'all, seriously.

alls not quiet

Sorry for being quiet lately, but The Auteur team needed a moment out of the internet eye after Tribeca. We've got some major news a' brewin', but can't really spill it yet. Tribeca was an incredible premiering ground and some major press, new festivals, and new ways to get the movie out there have come out of it.

Check out this really positive review from a fellow film geek over on his neat-o blog Filmicability. Thanks for the kind words Dean, right back at you.

So, while we percolate it all into bite size pieces for you (not that percolators really make bite-sized pieces so to speak), make sure you check out our channel on YouTube (youtube.com/theauteurmovie) and get your butt over to From Here To Awesome and show your love for The Auteur.
