$1,000 Indie Hitting Theatres

Today we were told about a new film that was shot for just over $1k that has been snatcheed up to go to theatres. It is coming to Theatres August 5th. Can you believe a 1k movie is going to get a theatrical release? That is one studio that is going to make a killing.

MY DATE WITH DREW was shot entirely for $1,100 that Herzlinger won on a game show.  The production used a camera purchased on credit from Circuit City, and then returned under the store’s 30-day refund policy.  

 On his journey to woo Drew, Herzlinger consults a psychic for love advice, hires a Drew look-alike to practice his date etiquette and crashes the world premiere of Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle simply to steal a glance at his dream girl. 

Supporting Herzlinger’s quest with anecdotes and advice are several Hollywood insiders who appear as themselves including Eric Roberts, Corey Feldman and Charlie’s Angels screenwriter John August.  The film is directed by Herzlinger, Brett Winn, Jon Gunn and produced by Kerry David.
