With Hollywood occupied by Sundance fever, maverick filmmaker Ladd Ehlinger Jr. launches an invasion from another dimension with his animated science fiction feature film "Flatland."
Quote:
"I used technology to do an entire 3D animated film - without being Pixar," said Ladd, "and without the trappings of Big or even Little Hollywood."
Project selection was key. "Little Hollywood - the indie filmmakers - spin their wheels hunting for investors, big name actors. Hey, I'd love all that too. But I'm an animator and director, not an investment broker. I had to spend my time on a great but feasible project."
Quote:
"Flatland," based on the 19th century scifi novel by Edwin Abbott, is a bizarre tale of a flat world that's invaded by creatures from other dimensions. "There are no people in it," explains Ladd. "No cute animals. Just squares and spheres, with a special guest appearance by a trapezoid."
Quote:
"I'm no paleontologist, but I think we're in that pre-historical period right after the meteor hit. The huge expensive movies are starting to die off like the dinosaurs. The meteor is the Internet, cable, DVDs, and everything else - seems to me it's just too much of a fractured and cluttered media market."
"I hope I'm wrong," he says. "After all, who doesn't love a spectacular T-Rex? But I think we're entering a new age of the smaller but smarter mammalian filmmaker."
"Flatland", a feature-length 3D-animated movie, is now available in limited DVD release at http://www.flatlandthefilm.com
Its just like the unsigned bands getting in to the charts... thanks to the internet and its marketing opportunities.
