Chump Change (2000)
So funny because it's so true!
I know a bit more about this film than most (I've met and spoken with the director). I've read the script, know the back story (some of the movie is loosely based on the director/screenwriter/actor Steve Burrows' real life acting experiences), and I find it one hysterically funny movie. The director/actor is hilarious.
With the addition of Traci Lords as a winter coat, tuke-headed, clothes wearing, hard working Wisconsinite, trudging back and forth through the snow, I believe this PG-13 comedy feature should go quite far in video rentals and cable distribution, if not a theatrical release.
My only complaint was some of the sound faded in and out during one or two outdoor scenes filmed in Los Angeles. However, I understand the project has undergone a year of post-production to fix any sound and other minor glitches before it makes a national release date.
Fastpitch (2000)
Let's see more personal stories like this
With the advent of all the low cost, high quality, digital cameras, you'd think you could find more films, of this quality, available to the general public.
This is the story of the director's life on the fast-pitch softball tour for a year, and it is a pretty humorous slice of life, tinged with sadness. Very good quality digital filming (best viewed on the DVD copy, I feel), editing, and story-telling. This is a movie for any one involved with a local, non-professional sports team of any type. Great job by the director, and it helps flesh out a comedy/drama film that was in production around the same time, "THE MARKSMEN".
