Introduce Yourself : My Indie is Playing this week in NYC by Michael Maren

Three years of sacrifice and toil is all it took to move from concept to finished film. I've learned a lot about what it takes and would be happy to share it. A little background: I sold a dozen scripts to studios in the early 2000s, but none of them were made. The money was nice but the journey always ended abruptly. So I decided to make my own film, from scratch, outside the system. The result is A SHORT HISTORY OF DECAY, an intimate family drama with a great cast: Bryan Greenberg, Harris Yulin, Linda Lavin, Kathleen Rose Perkins. Casting, was the easy part because I approached the project with one thing in mind: Write roles that good actors are going to want to play. And they did. I'm embarking on a second project now with the same attitude. I'd love it if those of you in the New York City area would go and take a look at the film: Showtime information is here: http://bit.ly/ASHODtx And you'll find a collection of reviews and media here: http://bigfanfilms.com/category/news/ I've shared some of my experience making this film online, and intend to share more if folks are interested. And, of course, I'd love to hear what you think of my movie.
