We need the money; yes that's a reason, and a good one too. But there are others, and some of them are not just about us . . . but about you!
Let's talk about YOUR needs for a second here. What do you like?
Do you like really good,
How about really bad,
Unearthen is both!
It is a demented movie lover's best nightmare. A clever mix of genre's in a low brow, working mans, package. It ain't Hollywood. It don't pretend to be. It don't wanna be. It's a low-budget camp-fest, and if you are into that sort of thing, it's definately the film for you!
Did I say low budget? Oh brother, you better believe it. We didn't even have a crew . . . just two guys and a camera for most of it. And we were running around the countryside, grabbing location shots like bandits, ducking campers and cops (cops caught us once. Yikes! That's another story). Yeah, I guess you could call the movie cheap. In fact, I wish you would. It's cheap all right, but hey, that's part of it's charm.
What's that you say?
"It's not even a full length feature, you ass holes. It's only 42 minutes!"
Oh yeah? Well, shut up!
Actually, you're right. Unearthen runs 42 min. But we make no apologies for that. The movie is as long as the story demanded. We weren't about to pad it's length just to meet some industry standard of what a feature is. What's there is all that needs to be there. But it's a complete story, and we think, a worthy one. And the disk includes about 20 minutes of hillarious outtakes, so you've got a good solid hour of entertainment there.
It's a bargain, really, and you are not going to find anything quite like this anywhere else. You know why?
Because it was made by a couple of individuals, not by studios. Because we weren't compelled to tailor it to a specific demographic. Because it doesn't fit a formula. Unearthen is so damn unique, we didn't even know what to call it. We're promoting it as a Black Comedy, Sci-Fi, Horror, Mystery, something or other. (try fitting that on a promotional ad)
But, that's what you get from independent artists hawking their wares on the internet. They give you something personal, not something churned out by multi-media conglomerates.
So don't you think you should support them? Please! Make the effort. Buy their art. Listen to their music. Watch their films. Invest in their creativity. You have no idea how much they will appreciate it. It's good for them, and it's good for you.
So . . . buy our movie. If you can. It would mean a lot. Anyway, if you're still with me, I congratulate you for your patience, and thank you for visiting our site.
