Trailer for the WINNEBAGO MAN Documentary
source ThePlaylist
I hold my hands up Ive never heard of Winnebago Man but he's a youtube/internet Phenomenom from 1980's Amercian free public access tv, so why is he famous? Jack Rebney made short sales videos selling Winnebago caravan motors which I would call a symbol of Middle class America and there key to explore the big country (especially 1980's). So when he made these short film ads he could not stop cursing and constantly they had to do re-takes, so when you watch the ads they are really funny .
The whole shebang started as a short ads and built up into a short 4 minute reel which was first on VHS tape passed around among the filmcrew and there family & friends and now its ended up online in youtube making hime a overnight viral video superstar.
Filmmaker Ben Steinbauer decided to search the four corners of the earth to seek out the internet legend we now call Winnebago Man aka Jack Rebney and this movie is his story .
The movie is getting a limited release in USA with Kino showing the movie at a cinema near you from July 9th and unless Winnebago man has any type of following in UK or Ireland I doubt we'll see this movie.
The trailer andthe 4 minute film reel that kicked off the legend can be watched after the break...

Claustaphobia hit this intense new teaser trailer for 2084
Souce QuietEarth
I've heard about this movie for a little while but when I watched the first teaser trailer for 2084, I wasnt that impressed as for the second trailer I cant really remember much about it but now we have a third trailer.
Until now the movie name was the only thing I remembered about it but after watching the third teaser trailer I am now very keen to see this movie. The trailer is very intense, dark but most of all claustophobic.
I got a slight 28 days later feel minus the grittiness (as well as not as dark as 28 days) , with the virus been the killer here and been told to stay indoors as chaos roams with the survivors its one I do want to see.
So check out the trailer after the break ......

Watch This: Animated Short AZUREUS RISING
source QuietEarth
Well its been nearly 5 weeks since I posted something on the blog but here we go again and we kick off with a little cracker of a animated sci-fi short called AZUREUS RISING.
Yep you will see alot of cliches and similar stuff from other movies with Matrix looking like its biggest inspiration but this is not a dig at this movie. The movie world be it animated or real world the movie genres have been used so much so its no surprise you'll see cliches but its what you do with them and create them into something different is what makes movies great and the team behind Azureus have done that.
Whats good about this is that this short movie hasn't taken the gritty realism route many of the current crop of movies have taken. The movies main character is a freedom fighter but who he is fighting we dont really know but the whole thing just looks so good we dont really care!!!
There is a plan to possibly expand this into a trilogy possibly as a trilogy of shorts or even full length live actions, check out the offical website here,

Short Film: Guy Maddin's NIGHT MAYOR

source ThePlaylist
Below is the latest short film from Guy Maddin called NIGHT MAYOR.
The film is about Nihad Ademi, an inventor from Bosnia who immigrates to Winnipeg. He builds, with his children, a machine called the "Telemodium" which uses the waves of Aurora Borealis to broadcast footage of "every day life for every day people." The footage is shown in different parts of Canada, coast to coast. Eventually, people begin to take to these images and start broadcasting their own, that is, until the police get involved.
The movie lasts 13 minutes and is shot in glorious black and white like his previous work of My Winnepeg a documentary about Maddin's home city. The whole style I would describe as experimental, original shot in the style of the black & white movies of the early 1900's and this short movie is online courtesy of NFB -National Film Board of Canada and they describe the auteur as "an imaginative cinematic riff on the significance of a public film producer." Guy Maddin is very new to me and when I watched this short I got the feeling I liked what I was watching but if you asked me why I couldn't say but he is a very proud Canadian and his previous cv contains alot of Canadianesque projects, check it out Night Mayor below;
