WWW.SPEEDBALLING.PL

Speak Polish? 

We are getting a lot of love from http://www.speedballing.pl/ which is a Polish Streetball website.  Our man Arek has provided an amazing review of "Shoot-Out" making streetball fans in Poland and throughout the world (we've been hit up ballers from Poland and Hungary) aware of our award winning, critically acclaimed independent hoops drama.

We love the press.  Big ups to Arek and Londer who run the site.  They tell us to look out for an english version of the site down the line.

Good News, Bad News

The Bad:  We must apologize to our fans in Austin, TX who were geared up to see "Shoot-Out" on the big screen during the upcoming 28th Flicker Film Festival.  We have been informed that "Shoot-Out" has been removed from the schedule and will not screen.  Our deepest apologies.  Not sure when "Shoot-Out" will be back in the area.  Please monitor our page for the latest news. 

The Good:  The committee made "Shoot-Out" an official selection.  Flicker is a festival that only accepts films made on film, somehow we did not catch that and submitted "Shoot-Out" anyway.  With it's beautiful cinematography, "Shoot-Out" fooled the committee, they accepted the film believing it was shot on film.  It wasn't until later they realized that it was shot on digital.  Big ups to our cinematographer Ivan Vatez Rodriguez!

Our next screening will now be held November 14th in Los Angeles in coordinatiion with the Hollywood Black Film Festival.  Scroll down in our blog or see our screenings section for further details.

2500 Views for "Shoot-Out"

Things have been hectic so it has been hard to keep up with all the news happening. Over this past week, the amount of combined views for the opening minutes of "Shoot-Out" has surpassed the 2500 clip.

Thank you to all who are supporting our work, writing your comments and buying "Shoot-Out"

Our best,

David, Tyshawn, Daniel



"Shoot-Out" is Headline News for ElevationMag.com!!!

We have received amazing coverage from www.elevationmag.com. "Shoot-Out" is currently on the front page in the Headline News - Around the Street Section.

Inside there is an awesome review written by our man Mark Slane. We are thrilled with the coverage and cannot thank Mark enough. He is writing from the perspective of a basketball fan. It's easy as a basketball fan to see a basketball movie and come away disappointed. We're glad that wasn't the case here.

The Link to the Full Review:

"Absolutely captivating and yes it is a little bit nerve-racking."

Official Selection: Flicker Film Festival, Austin TX

"Shoot-Out" is an Official Selection to the Flicker Film Festival in Austin, Texas.  Coming off of two previous screenings in Wichita Falls we are excited to have the opportunity to screen in the budding filmmaking city of Austin.

"Shoot-Out" is the critically acclaimed and award winning story of two men playing a basketball game of one-on-one...to the death.  It has recently been featured on the cover of "Hoops Magazine" as well as www.streetballin.net, www.streetballonline.com, and www.ElevationMag.com.  It stars Tyshawn Bryant and Daniel Sol and was written and directed by David Branin.

More on the Flicker Film Festival: Austin

Madmen, UFOs, and fairy tale princesses will converge on the big screen at the 28th Flicker Film Festival.  The Alamo Drafthouse Downtown, always a gracious host, will serve up this smorgasbord of food and flicks on Thursday, November 9th. The festivities will kick off at 7 p.m. and tickets are only $5.

Local filmmakers will be featured alongside national and international shorts that demonstrate the subtle genius that can only be captured on film. "Cold?" by Norwood Cheek, a Flicker LA regular, and Austin based Lion & Leon Production's "Unidentified Flying Object" will be included in this evening's collection of short films that promises to have something for everyone. After enlightening and entertaining the audience of Flicker 27 with their critical film insights on the eternal debate over the superiority of cop dog to sport dog movies, the DragonSquad will return to host another Flicker. This Austin-based improv troupe, composed of members of Ed 32 and the Polite Society, will continue to plumb the depths of cinematic criticism as only they can.

And because Flicker is always looking for ways to give back to its audience, gift certificates to Austin Java, Waterloo Records, Blazer Tag, and many more beloved Austin establishments will be raffled off. At the end of the evening, the audience has the opportunity to vote for their favorite films of the night. The winner will be added to a "Best of Flicker" compilation that will be exhibited at the end of the year.

To purchase tickets online, visit Alamo Drafthouse at http://www.alamodrafthouse.com.

"Shoot-Out" on Cover of Hoops Magazine!!!

We can hardly believe this one! Wow! Incredible news for us. Our critically acclaimed independent basketball film has been put on the cover of Hoops Magazine! This came out of nowhere. Just as amazing as our film being put on the cover and the incredible article they wrote on "Shoot-Out" is the story on how all this came to be.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Several months ago we contacted Hoops hoping for a review or interview. We were politely rejected and in most cases that would be that. We stayed on them and continued to make our case as to why the film should be looked at. We were given a few more rejections and then we stopped hearing from them all together.

Just to have the last word, we mailed it off to them and on the envelope put "Must See. One Basketball Game...to the Death!" We then forgot about it and continued about our business. The part coming up shows that prayers can be answered.

An intern at Hoops became curious about our package which had been sitting around in the mail room for weeks. He opened it up and played the movie to see how bad it was. Turns out he loved it and so he began showing people around the office. By the end of the week the whole office had seen it and it was passed onto the chief editor. We were then contacted and you see the results.

We are overwhelmed and we cannot thank Hoops Magazine enough! Your praise and dubbing it "Best Hoops Movie You've Never Heard Of...Until Now" is awesome!

We are doing our best to promote the film and to have more people see it. This should help us tremendously. To go along with this big news, we are putting the first three minutes of the film online in the very near future so please stay tuned.

To those who don't own the DVD, please show your support by picking it up through www.dreamregimeproductions.com We have put a lot of hard work and effort into the project and we believe you will see that work shine through.

You will believe what you want to believe.

"Shoot-Out" which was showcased at EgoFest in Brainerd, MN is mentioned as one of the "Best of the Festival" by entertainment editor John Hansen of Brainerd Dispatch.

Here is what he wrote,

"Shootout, David Branin, California - A great premise: Two men play a one-on-one basketball game to the death. One guy is cocky, saying he's never lost a game with a bet riding on it; the other wants to put him in his place (or in the ground). It's plenty intense just watching the hoops action, which naturally comes down to sudden death. After the game, things really get interesting as moral questions are raised."

Here is the full review, "A well crafted exceptional piece of filmmaking"

'Shoot-Out" to have Major Screening in Los Angeles

We have been notified of our Official Selection to the Short Mondays Short Film Festival which is currently held at CineSpace the first Monday of each Month. "Shoot-Out" is one of six films that will screen in front of 300+ Audience Members. The screenings are followed up with Q&A sessions with the Filmmakers.

Our movie will screen Monday, June 5th at CineSpace.

SHORT MONDAYS is a monthly short film festival. But its not only about the specific films that are being screened: it's also a place to see emerging (and established) filmmakers and network in a more casual atmosphere than a theater screening. When Sir Sean Connery attended, he was approachable because of the relaxed setting. Gary Oldman, Kevin Pollack, Bruce Davison, Allison Janney, Clancy Brown, Christine Taylor, Richard T. Jones, Claudia Schiffer, Jason Lewis and John Stamos are among the actors who have had shorts screened by Short Mondays. When they've been in town, these actors have come out to support their filmmakers.

Through Short Mondays, filmmakers have been accepted into other film festivals, such as the San Diego Film Festival. Directors have also obtained their first jobs directing full length features because of the work they screened at Short Mondays.

Short Mondays is run by Deirdre Murphy and Elise Rothberg, with invaluable assistance from their Advisory Board, and hosted by Tonight Show and E! Channel veteran Brett Walkow.

More information on this event coming soon!
