A while ago, I don't know if you remember, I posted a blog asking people to help spread the word on The Gene Generation. Those of you who have responded, I have put your names up in the 'Special Thanks' section. It's a big list, but you'll find your names in there. I paid extra attention not to miss anybody out. 'Rise' by Encephalon is playing on the background. Heh heh. I think it's perfect really.

I hope that each of you continues to help out The Gene Generation. I guess many people have wrote to me with very mixed reviews. It's funny but I can actually categorize people (OMG.. I AM JUDGING YOU NOW.. MUAHAHA) about their feelings on The Gene Generation

Commercial: The people who think The Gene Generation is like a Star Trek Commercial movie and expect it to be lots of slam, bam, thank you ma'am action. Sadly, I would have let you down there. I never intended this to be a commercial film.

Film: The people who see that The Gene Generation (Thank you Chris, Aspectphoo, Batgurl, and many others) is a love story about a brother and sister trying to find their place in a dystopian future.

The pacing on The Gene Generation definitely lends itself more to atmosphere and a love story. I guess that's what is important for me. LOVE. I think over the years I've gotten to know people in the sub-cultures. That no matter what front they put up, no matter what crazy stuff they are involved in, the one thing we all agree on is that love is the greatest thing in the world. Whether it is through animals, siblings or spouses. It's funny but I think that's what The Gene Generation has become. A lot of people see it and expect something but turns out that it is (in it's core) a love story. Sorry to disappoint all the jocks out there :( I don't have the required dose of testosterone before you Monday Night Football game).

I hope that whoever can afford it, to please purchase a copy of The Gene Generation. It would really help me out. You can get it from Amazon.com or pretty much any major retailer.

Oh, and do listen to the commentaries. I think you'll really get an idea of the different personalities of the people involved in the making of The Gene Generation.

We're hoping that The Gene Generation picks off. As many of you know, 45 mins was cut out from the original cut and I hope to be able to release my director's cut (if the sales are popular) and put in about an hour's worth more of Special Features. We've had so many that we couldn't fit it on the first DVD. This includes stuff from Combichrist and VNV Nation too that distributors felt may be too niched.

Anyway, here is the link to get The Gene Generation. Thank you all guys. Please add me to your personal myspace page. I'd love to hear from all of you!

Very cool, Pearry. As you may remember, I was out of the country when The Gene Generation was screened in Tucson, so I am very happy that I can see it now.
I will also spread the word through IFASA. net, the Tucson Film Office, and my personal network. Rock on, brotha! Good to see you last week.

I guess that kills any hope of seeing a theatrical release in Europe :-( Any idea on when to expect a Region 2 DVD release?
