Green: The Movie DVD Release!
Hey guys, Jonathan here. Last year, Nick set out to do a feature film on a microbudget. I thought he was insane. Many of you who’ve seen him on Geekscape episodes KNOW that he’s insane. Still, we do a lot of insane stuff out here in Hollywood and history only favors the bold, so I rooted him on while making sure to keep a nice blanket around in case the guy skinned his knee and needed some support. Sadly for me, the support he needed was some acting and he asked me to drop in and lend some lines to a Dirty Vato inspired role. Amazingly (but in retrospect not all that surprising) for Nick, the movie turned out REALLY GREAT! I’ve seen a lot of friends raise and spend $250,000, $500,000… $2 million on independent features in the past few years and NONE of them have ended up with the same personality, heart and energy that Nick’s microscopically budgeted film contains! And it’s FUCKING FUNNY! Not like “yeah, I’m trying to convince you my buddy at a party is funny so you’ll go talk to him” funny. It’s like “that entire crowd over there is already gathered and pissing themselves and you better go see what the whole commotion is about because a year from now we’re going to be referencing this shit and you won’t get it” funny! So read Nick’s heartfelt letter to you guys and buy this film… because I’ve heard rumblings that his next one might be superhero themed… and because this is a movie FOR us from ONE OF US!
To the fervent and faithful Geekscape masses,
I’m writing to you on this brisk September evening in Philadelphia to promote my new motion picture, Green. Green was written, produced, directed, and stars yours truly Nick Gregorio. A very dear friend of mine, Troy F. Kaplan, co-wrote and co-produced the picture with me.
Green is the story of Cole, an aspiring “businessman” who moves to marijuana-friendly California with the high hopes of opening a government legal dispensary and watching the “green” roll in. But a moratorium placed on seller’s licenses just as he arrives forces him to consider other drastic plans to stay ahead. An ex-girlfriend that he still loves who is dating his boss, and his lovably ever-stoned best friend only complicate matters.
Green was made on a less-than-shoe-string budget and stars a bright, young, and extremely talented cast: The hilarious Danny Myers, the stunning Ms. Hooters 2007 Michelle Nunes, the scene-stealing Johnny Hawkes, the Nerdiest Kids’ Amra “Flitz” Ricketts (from a recent Geekscape episode!), Corey Roberts’ Armenian Demon shoulder and Geekscape’s own Jonathan London!
That’s right kids, Jon London makes his feature film acting debut! I have to say it’s a must see performance that will leave tears of laughter streaming down your face (and if you’re Jon, tears of embarrassment (editor’s note: I hate you)). Besides Jon and Flitz, Geekscape’s Ivan Kander created some amazing opening titles and closing credits. Ivan rocked some truly big budget animations in a very small production window!
I’m extremely proud of this picture and I can’t wait for all of you to see it. Green is exclusively available to order at www.greenthemotionpicture.com for only $13.00 including shipping and handling! The movie officially goes on sale Sept 25th but we are accepting pre-orders now. For more information, production stills, concept art, and video clips check the Facebook page and “like” the movie.
Thank you guys for your time and I can’t wait to read your reviews and comments.
-Nick Gregorio
