NewsDanny P. Hostel Film UpI was just recently tapped to direct a short promo film for Hostelling International, USA. Though this is a promo film, it's pure Plotnick hilarity, if I say so myself. Great acting performances and beautiful cinematography courtesy of KC Smith. Check it out. It's a fun one.Danny P. & McCabe & Mrs. Miller Video Out Now!!!Danny Plotnick and the No-Depression style rockers McCabe & Mrs. Miller have teamed up for a music video. Time For Leaving is the track. The video was shot on location near Joshua Tree and in San Carlos, CA. It's available now on this website and on the McCabe YouTube Channel any day now. The track is called Time For Leaving. Danny P. & The Sippy Cups Team UpDanny Plotnick and kid rockers The Sippy Cups have teamed up for a series of podcasts called Sippy TV.

I'm Not Fascinating On-Line Now!That's right, it's been 13 years since the release of my Frankenstein of a rock epic featuring the pointless shenanigans of San Francisco's loathed and loved Icky Boyfriends. I've been promising a dvd release for sometime now. And while that will be a reality fairly soon with plenty of photos, bonus commentary, deleted scenes and all the live Ickys you can stomach, you no longer have to wait to watch. You can now relive no-budget, super 8 sound filmmaking at its awkward best by viewing the film on-line. Check it out here. Warts & All: The Films of Danny Plotnick Out Now!I'm very excited to report that a compilation of my short films has been released on the Micorcinema Label.

Ordering: Order one today from Microcinema or from Amazon. Renting: You can put them in your Netflix or Green Cine queue. Ways to Help: If you feel inclined, posting positive feedback and comments about the dvd on Amazon, Netflix or Green Cine would be a huge help!

Upcoming Screenings
Skate WitchesThis one is weird. MTV purchased my 23 year old film Skate Witches. It aired last summer on their animated show DJ& The Fro. Also, the film gets linked and mentioned all over the internet. Recently a beautiful mini-comic has been drawn based on the film. Last year, some English band sampled the film's dialogue. ESPN has made fun of the film and a bunch of Facebook fan pages have been set up. I've assembled some of the press in the Press section on this site. Check it out. Out of Print
Out of Print was one of 26 films selected to partake in MetaFest. Out of Print took home the on-line audience prize of $1,000 as the highest rated vote getter. If you voted for the film, thank you so much. Earlier this year, I finished a brand new short film Out of Print. It's an ode to the counterculture of the 80s & 90s, when unearthing quality culture was a treasure hunt. Out of Print has been tearing up the festival cirucuit with screenings at SF International, CineVegas, Edinburgh, Super Shorts in London and more. Out of Print was awarded an honorable mention in the short doc category at the Athens International Fest. It also helped me take the Grand Prize at the Underground Filmmaker Film Festival. Filmmakers were judged on their body of work, plus a film they were assigned to make for the fest, plus an interview they needed shoot of themselves. Out of Print, is the film I made for the festival. In addition to the grand prize, my interview won the festival audience prize. |
