Producer Offers Free Gas To Film Buyer
Independent film producer Neil Schulman, who recently attempted unsuccessfully to
sell rights to his movie Lady Magdalene's on eBay, is trying a new gambit
-- offering a rebate in the form of one thousand gallons of gasoline to any studio
that purchases his film. "We're making this offer during Memorial Day weekend when even
the major studios are feeling the pinch of increased gasoline prices" to distribute
their films, Schulman said in a statement. He added that he was barred from the typical
indie filmmaker's route to a Hollywood deal -- the major film festivals -- because his
film is "upbeat and feel-good. ... Who knew you needed to make a downbeat movie about
a dysfunctional Inuit family whose lesbian daughter is molested by a Haliburton execut
ive to get into Sundance?" 0
