Mr Midnight Movie joins the BackLot Film Festival
The BackLot Film Festival is going on its fifth year and has asked Mr. Midnight Movie to be a part of their program!
What is the Backlot Film Festival? Let us take a look at their philosophy in a nutshell...
MISSION STATEMENT
The Backlot Film Festival was created in 2004 to cultivate an appreciation of the rich heritage of the motion picture industry and to bring greater understanding of the debt that contemporary filmmakers owe to early film pioneers. It is from Kevin Brownlow’s masterpiece on the history of the silent film The Parade’s Gone By that The Backlot Film Festival takes its direction:
Whatever future, cinema may have will be based solidly on its past. Time is a human conception, very much like the motion picture. It’s all there, but we have to live it. You cannot enjoy the last reel unless you know what happened in the first.
The mission of The Backlot Film Festival is twofold:
• To give independent filmmakers the opportunity to showcase their work for industry executives and distributors;
• To create a better understanding of the major art form of the last one hundred plus years.
With the goal of educating, encouraging and empowering new filmmakers in the production process of filmmaking and the art of storytelling, The Backlot Film Festival aims to continue this ongoing dialogue on the future of film while recognizing and revealing the wonders of the past.
Here's our latest "film" which is horseplay - we have more great content on the horizon!

Mr. Midnight Movie Competition Heats Up
Last week we had a minor set back because our production company, Mr. Midnight Movie Productions LLC, decided to let a hawt chick borrow our camera equipment. She wanted to film herself a little so she can try to get discovered. Little did she know at the time that she might have just been creating her entry film to enter the Mr. Midnight Movie Competition. That's right people who like films. We are going to soon be reaching out to YOU to send ME your home-made videos.
From that pool of videos, we will select the participants in our 1st annual film festival to be held in August of this year at a location to be revealed in coming weeks.
So, stay tuned. Stay thirsty. Live and film. And come back to the site for more details.
Thank you. CUT.

A Message From The Original Mr. Midnight Movie
"I know I am not Jewish, but I know some Jewish things. I know L'Chaim. I think it means "life" or something.
I know there are lots of Jewish people in show business like Saul Denny and Pickles from that rat-trap food restaurant with $4.99 hamburgers. I''m not out to offend every Jewish person because I think they do an ok job at doing it themselves, y'know?
They dance on tables and stuff but it's usually in good fun."

How To Reach Out & Contact The Fine Folks @ Mr Midnight Movie
Mr Midnight Movie - Mr Midnight Movie is searching for any all ways to let out his inner "skinny man." He loves Fatty Arbuckle, got an upset stomach from a man selling ribs outta the back of his van, and wears a fanny pack at work. "I'm trying to let the people know that prostitution must be legalized as should Caning for criminals."
Jewish Producer - Born in the San Fernando Valley, Jewish Producer met Mr Midnight Movie one day after a heated meeting at Sony Studios. MMM was walking his corn dog cart, and JP bought his "fresh-injected" Cream Cheese Corndog. They have walked the line ever since. JP has worked on various low and high budget projects, in a variety of capacities, in his career behind the scenes. "My favorite word is FREE."
Angry Guy From Detroit - If you were born in Detroit and had to drink Faygos all day, you'd lose it too. AG moved to L.A. to "gain lucrative parts in films where sucking off the star is not a requirement," and "unleash a lifetime of pent up sexual and politically motivated rage on production sets." He has roles in various sitcoms, feature films and 1/8th page ads in trashy classified sections and was mugged the 1st time he tried selling merchandise on Craigslist. "Hey, pssst... buddy, gotcher Tom Selleck DVD collection right here."
