Author Bill Crider has some nice things to say about my short film "Remaindered" on his blog today.
This twenty-minute film is funny, sharply observed, and very well put together. It might be a low-budget production, but it doesn't look it. The actors are having fun, and Goldberg gets the most out of every shot.
I'm pleased to say he's not the only author who enjoyed the movie. Here's some of the other post-Bouchercon feedback that we've gotten:
“REMAINDERED is brilliant! Hilarious, suspenseful, with booksigning sequences that induce PTSD... bravo! And the music was great, too,” Barry Eisler, bestselling author of “Hard Rain.”“REMAINDERED was such a hoot. I loved everything about it and had so much fun. More awesomeness from Lee Goldberg,” Sara Gran, author of “Dope” and “Come Closer.”
“REMAINDERED was so well done on some many levels,” Naomi Hirahara, bestselling author of “Blood Hina.”
“The story was great and the actors were outstanding,” Joel Goldman, author of “No Way Out.”
“I loved REMAINDERED!” Daniel J. Hale, co-author of “Red Card.”
“I enjoyed REMAINDERED immensely,” Hal Ackerman, author of “Stein Stoned” and co-chair of the screenwriting department of the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television
“One of the highlights of Bouchercon - the world mystery convention - was watching Lee Goldberg's independent film REMAINDERED. If it comes to a film festival near you, don't miss it. It rocked the house,” Julie Kramer, author of “Silencing Sam.”
“A marvelous script. Haven't heard that much out loud laughter from an audience in a long time,” Robert S. Levinson, author of “Ask a Dead Man.”
The short film is not yet available to the public -- we've submitted it to a bunch of festivals around the country and are waiting to see how that plays out first. However, if you are a blogger or print reviewer and are interested in receiving a screener, you can contact me at lee AT leegoldberg.com for a download link or a DVD.
