Hey folks!
Just thought i'd see how these here fo-rums work. This is my indie feature, with trailers, music, scenes etc on my website. Looking for screenings, distro, etc etc etc etc etc etc.
Here's the PR shtuff:
"Sex, Drugs, Love, Marx..."
An underground feature by Vancouver's Flick Harrison
MP3, trailer, scenes and stills at:
http://www.armedrabble.org/sdlm.htm
Flick Harrison’s feature debut “Sex, Drugs, Love, Marx…” combines the Canadian-film pillars of social realism and documentary, the underground ethos of a D.I.Y.-or-die aesthetic, a jazzy post-rock score by Saul Duck (members of the Beans and Baron Samedi), a political subtext weaving 60’s New Wave formalism into anti-globalization 2003, and appearances by Christine Taylor, Tom Scholte, and David Parsons. Shot by veteran still photographer Jane Weitzel (just finished shooting Blaine Thurier’s "Male Fantasy"), starring Rebecca Harker ("Moving Malcolm," Bruce Sweeney’s "American Venus") and Peter Grier (touring with "The Overcoat").
"Harker might be the new queen of the Vancouver indies!"
-The Vancouver Province
"It's awesome, it's a great show!"
- Michael Eckford,
City TV's Breakfast TV
"It has a tremendous amount to recommend it - I've never seen digital effects used so organically."
- Reg Harkema,
editor: Hard Core Logo, Twilight of the Ice Nymphs,
Director: A Girl is a Girl
"Flick infuses the slacker ethic with Marxist underpinnings... Shelley MacDonald and Suzanne Ward turn in winning performances... A veritable who's who of local talent..."
- Kier-La Janisse,
Terminal City Weekly
SYNOPSIS: Jez (Grier) and Shandy (Harker) move to Vancouver from Ottawa but their love struggles against work, money, Jez's new friends – cosmopolitaine Lara (Suzanne Ward), who runs a mail-order bride website, and her hustling buddy Guelph (Terry Sidhu) – Shandy’s hardass boss Margaret (Shelley MacDonald) and the time-distorting drug Catnip.
Flick Harrison’s doc, drama and installation has shown at Labortech, Columbus, Antimatter, Lost F.F., Brooklyn U.F.F, Chicago U.F.F., Vancouver U.F.F., Roadance, the Celluloid Social Club, WorkingTV, CBC Radio3.com, TVO, and various more scurrilous locations. He started as a videographer on CBC’s Road Movies (the only TV show ever shot entirely on Hi8), edits the film section of Broken Pencil, and has written for Terminal City Weekly, Film Threat, Adbusters, the Ottawa Citizen, Montreal Gazette, and others. He’s made video for theatre with Western Theatre Conspiracy and Judith Marcuse’s DanceArts, built kaka-disturber websites StockwellDork.com and clarksontheterrible.com, shot video for Reg Harkema, Bruce Sweeney, Gary Marcuse, James Dunnison, R.E.M., 536, and more. He studied in June at ZMedia Institute in Woods Hole, MA as part of his interactive DVD project Marie Tyrell, based on a story by D.M. Fraser.
