Contest Results:
The Philadelphia Screenplay Festival has announced the finalists for this year's Screenplay Festival, chosen by peers.
Distributors began to show interest after "IndyFans" popped up all over the news, including E! Online, Los Angeles Times, Movie Geeks United, The Windsor Star, The Daily Pilot, etc., as well as a well deserved standing ovation at the Big Newport theater in Newport Beach, California (with big name fans in the audience).
This warms my heart as it is the first time I've worked on a project as an "official" producer, and it's exciting to be part of the bigger picture of a true work of art. "Indy Fans - Quest for Fortune and Glory" is a heartwarming journey through the eyes of the fans, a tribute to Indiana Jones and his millions of fans around the globe.
“I thought if somebody is going to make a film about Indy fans, it’s got to be done right,” Brandon Kleyla, 25, said, wearing a T-shirt for the fictional Marshall College, where archaeologist Jones teaches. This heartwarming, entertaining documentary has actually received a much better response than the actual "Crystal Skull" on opening night. Few are bigger fans and collectors of all things Indy.
Indy Fans have the highest expectations and standards. No one cares more or knows Indiana Jones better than they do. "Indy Fans" will also capture the fervor of opening night and may include the fan's ideas and acting out of how they would re-write the scenes, if they could. More about Indy Fans here.
