The Magnificent Seven

What else were you expecting, Seven Brides For Seven Brothers? Maybe the 7-Ups? Nah, there's no getting around the ultimate death scenes- both James Coburn and Charles Bronson, at the hands of Eli Wallach and the other phony-tanned Mexicano extras. 

It was just pointed out to me that the name of this blog could be somehow mistaken for www.cinemasm.com, which is for filmgoers who experience personal ecstasies in movie theaters.

Welcome To Academia is going to come out of it's theatrical shell differently than Screen Door Jesus, where the brass ring was always a distribution deal that would take the marketing and sales of the film off our hands. We thought by winning a major festival- which we did- and getting a heavy hitting producer's rep- which we did- was all we had to do. Famous last words. This time around we're looking for more control, and to gain a better understanding of our audience we're going to throw it out there in July at two event-type screenings- where we'll embrace the academic spirit with a great summer night out- loaded with a terrific film and jello shots. Stay tuned!
