InactiveHey Guys,
We were told that “you can’t sell a 20 min short film for $19.99” but not only did we sell our little DVD for $19.99 but we have become a profitable short film. We jammed packed the DVD with over 3 hours of special features and it has 6 commentaries tracks.
Check out our “bootleg trailer” – http://www.whatisbroken.com/broken_dvd.html
and here is a link to our trailer that got us most of attention: http://www.whatisbroken.com/broken_trailer_enter.html
Also, check out our making of web docs: http://whatisbroken.com/webdocs.html
