This is the original promo trailer we shot over a couple of days in November 2006. Seems like ages ago. Though it may not capture the exact tone of the resulting feature, I'd like to think it stands on its own as some kind of odd creature.

Shot by Chuck DeRosa on a Panasonic DVX-100.
Production sound by Kevin Remón Thompson.
The opening photo montage in Mr. Sadman.
–
With the late Al No'mani. Music by übertalented composer, Austin Wintory.
Another scene from Mr. Sadman in which Mounir meets his new Los Angeles neighbor, Stevie, played by Scoot McNairy.
Scoot's a crazy talented guy who produced and played the lead in the film, In Search of a Midnight Kiss, which won the John Cassavetes Award at this year's Film Independent Spirt Awards.
Finally got this Mr. Sadman clip of Mounir trying to play basketball on YouTube with sound. Apparently they have some audio recognition software that senses musical patterns and automatically mutes your audio to nip any kind of copyright infringement in the bud before it starts.
The song is by my friend, C.J. Pizarro.
For the first entry on this blog, I'll post the teaser trailer for Mr. Sadman. It's a start.
