Link to the Show / Show NotesThis exclusive 30-minute talk between filmmaker Ti West (Trigger Man) and Graham Reznick (I Can See You) is the first in a series of original interviews (released every month) with talent associated with Kino’s new DVD and theatrical releases.
On this episode, Kino is highlighting its relationship with Larry Fessenden's Glass Eye Pix.
Besides Graham Reznick's debut feature I Can See You (available with his unreleased 3-D short film The Viewer), which Kino is making available on October 27, 2009, Kino has also released Ilya Chaiken's Liberty Kid and Ti West's Trigger Man. These three feature films were produced by Glass Eye Pix.
Focusing on three young and ambitious ad-men who go on a weekend wilderness trip to brainstorm for their first major marketing assignment, I Can See You progressively descends into a surreal (and avant-garde) plunge into sensory overload and madness.
Assigned with the task to overhaul the image of a once popular cleaning product named Claractix, these three up-and-coming New Yorkers find themselves at odds with each other when a woman conspicuously called Summer Day (played by Heather Robb, the lead singer of The Spring Standards), gets close to one of them. Moreover, while still in the wilderness, one of their girlfriends mysteriously disappears and a spectre from Claractix's past ad campaigns shows up unannounced - adding even more dashes of surrealism to this unique film.
The film's ad-men are played by real-life members of Waverly Films (Ben Dickinson, Duncan Skiles and Chris Ford), a Brooklyn based production company specializing in commercials and music videos. Long-lost Claractix pitchman Mickey Hauser is played by producer Larry Fessenden.
This Kino International DVD release will also bring its first foray into the world of 3-D cinema: The Viewer (2009), a brand new short film also written and directed by Graham Reznick, will be available as a special feature on the DVD for I Can See You. 3-D glasses will be included with all DVDs
