\"\"…is the worst. It’s the thing I hate most about promo — I tell myself that it’s an opportunity to contact people who’s work I admire and not just trolling for favours, but it still makes me queasy. But it’s a pretty essential part of “reading” as legit. A book or a movie without a blurb looks naked, and our little movie needs all the armour plating it can get out there. But so far as a result we’ve got some good quotes and a tweet from William Gibson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Happily, it’s getting out there enough (75K views on YouTube) that there’s been a few media outlets who’ve already written about it. I love being able to just find quotable stuff without having to ask for it.<\/p>\n

“Ingenious — a gripping science fictional movie that uses cleverness, not CGI, to paint a vivid and satirical future” –Cory Doctorow<\/p>\n

“The Future of Employment Is Bleak in Ghosts with Shit Jobs<\/em>” —The Atlantic<\/em><\/p>\n

“Excellent… science fiction is not dead. It’s just moved from the cinema to the internet.” —Wired<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Talking about promo, if you are in any upcoming shows or whatnot let me know and I will pass on the news when I can. For instance Jonah, who played Anton in the movie, is in a play this week<\/a>\u00a0— we’re going Saturday night!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
