There is a reality for many artists that they are overly critical of anything they are a part of. I had a small part in this movie. It was an honor to be asked and to be a small cog in this very complex labyrinth of pistons and gears; but, with that invitation comes my very critical eye (and spirit).
You hope you didn't become a part of something you'll regret or, worse still, be embarrassed by in the long-run. That is why I was biased, and not in a good way.
But then, something changed... from the moment the promos and trailers began playing I knew that my bias was misplaced.
Fast-forward to having viewed the finished display of artistry and talent, I can say that not only am I not worried, I'm far more honored. All involved put their heart into this production and the result is something not often seen in the independent film world - an experience worthy of any big screen - something destined to become a cult favorite.
Well done to the amazing Durden Godfrey and the team that assembled around him (how he managed to get one of his producers red-faced with a protagonist's open hand slap is a feat most directors would like to accomplish!). :)
Well done, well done, well done. You must watch it - especially if you are biased, and not in a good way.
