Comment Robot Stories (Score 1) 111

For those of you who want to see the movie but don't live near a city where it is being released, don't despair. Much of the marketing for Robot Stories is being done at the grass-roots level. In other words, if it's not being shown near you, it's time to try to figure out how to get it shown near you. Is there a local art house that might show it? Talk to the manager there, and let the Robot Stories team know so they can help. They're releasing the film themselves, which is a huge undertaking. Normally a distributor would take care of this, but because the film isn't easy to pigeonhole (Asian-American Sci-Fi Anthology, anyone?), getting a distribution deal wasn't in the cards, but you can help make it happen. I've known Greg, the film-maker, for over ten years, and he is both talented and a mensch. He deserves our support not only because he can save us from more Hollywood dreck, but also because he has made (and should continue to make) a beautiful, thoughtful, and yes, entertaining film. Go see it. If you can't see it now, don't just wait for it to appear on Netflix - this film and this director deserve better than straight-to-DVD status.
