Actor Needed

What's odd about this flyer, besides that there are no casting specs other than gender, is the promise to "pay in food."

This filmmaker needs to find someone holding a sign like this...

Papermovie

Let's say you want to make a movie. The problem is you have no budget, no movie camera, no movie film and no craft services table. Even worse, you live in Bulgaria. But you can still get your project made with Papermovie.

Depending on how you look at it, Papermovie is either an evolved storyboard or a lo-fi movie - so lo-fi that the pictures don't move.

Printed in flyer form, these movies are distributed for free in clubs, cafes, sports centers, cinemas, shops, tattoo studios, universities, subway stations, beaches and prisons. To see the whole story you have to collect all the flyers. Or you can visit Papermovie.com and read the stories while listening to their original soundtracks.

Papermovie is an end in itself. It's not a guerrilla marketing concept for a studio release or the pitch for a Project Green Light type reality show.

It doesn't get any more indie than this.

Squatter Films

I think of squatters as part of gentrification. They're a subset of the artsy types who transform a bad neighborhood into prime real estate. Squatters see it differently judging from the hyperbolic "gentrification is genocide" claim on this flyer.

It also states "Squatting is about taking back life, taking back the land in the interest of justice, equality, peace and love between neighbors..." I disagree. Squatting is about economics, wanting to live in NYC and not wanting to pay a high rent.

New Nick Zedd Films

Nick Zedd is a truly independent filmmaker. This guy doesn't have to do an homage to to grindhouse films; he never stopped making the real thing. You can see for yourself at NickZedd.com.

There's an "NZ" in the bottom corner of this flyer so it looks like he drew this flyer himself to promote his most recent screening here in NYC.
