HESHER comes out today. 

rhianjwoodward:  I CAN’T FUCKING WAIT

Wait no longer, my dear.  I’m super proud of how this one turned out.  It’s about death, but it’s funny.  It’s got fire, fucking, and rock&roll, but it warms the heart.  Some people are gonna love it, some are gonna hate it.  But if you’re reading this, I’d bet pretty heavily on love.

Now again, this movie doesn’t have any big Hollywood money behind it.  It’s something we all made for the fuck of, I mean the fun of it.  It won’t have any commercials on TV, and most of your friends probably haven’t heard about it.  All the more reason to go see it.  Right fucking now.  Please.  Movies like this start in a few select theaters, and depending on how many people come, it moves on to a wider release.  So this weekend is crucial.  If you wanna support independent film, now’s the time.

Here’s the TRAILER. 

Thanks

HESHER is coming out May 13!  I loved making this movie, and I love how it turned out.  It’s hilarious, but it’s not just funny, it’s smart, it’s sad, it’s hopeful, it’s heartfelt, and it fuckin rocks.  Natalie decided to produce Spencer’s script for a reason, and by the way her character’s nothing like you’ve seen her.  Devin, the protagonist, is a truly talented young actor.  Rainn gave a legit no-joke badass dramatic performance.  And, I’m humbled to say, Metallica themselves liked it so much they gave us their music, they never give their stuff to movies!

Now this really is an “indie” film, meaning it’s being independently released without any huge corporations behind the marketing and advertising and all that jazz.  500 Days of Summer had that “indie” spirit, but it was put out by Fox Searchlight who has tons of resources to spread the word.  HESHER’s just got us.  So pass it around!
