AFF: Movie #6 (One of My Own)
I hereby invite you to join the characters of Sean, Ben, and Nolan in their journey into a world of dreams…
That’s right. After showing 5 of my favorite independent, hollywood, foreign, classic, and documentary films (plus several shorts), I have decided to show one of my own. It’s a bold and daring risk, but afterall, one of the original suggestions for creating “AFF” was to give people the chance to see more of my movies. (Thanks Lila!)
The film is called “Lucid Dreamers” and it is the first feature length film (90 minutes) that I ever created. With a team of creative and supportive friends, I wrote, directed, and acted in this film. (So you can see a 15-year-old Andy in this film, taking his first steps towards a now highly successful acting career). It may sound like you’re being asked to watch something amateurish, but you should know that this film has some of the best special fx/visuals in all of my films, and I still believe it has one of the most creative and original storylines.

Special Thanks to: Joan Young, Christian Henderson, Alvin Pingol, Max Maksutovic, Dirk Van Loon, Joe Nuss, Katie Young, Zac Krohn, and Adam Thiesen. Without your help, this film would not have been possible.

Oh man, what can be said about LD that hasn’t been said before? I laughed, I cried, I achieved enlightenment. And so can you if you watch this groundbreaking first feature length film in the Andrew Zeller collection. It could only be contained on FOUR DVDs complete with behind the scenes and premier documentaries, cast interviews, deleted scenes, outtakes, and easter eggs. You haven’t really experienced Andrew Zeller until you’ve seen him expose his creative juices in his first full length movie.

It’s only THREE DVD’s, but that’s still alot I think.
However, that said, I really think we should do something like a 10 or 15 or 20th Anniversary edition someday with You, Me, Alvin, Max, and the gang to do a group commentary. (And maybe we can hire someone to clean up the audio and restore the video to it’s original 2003 quality.)

two thumbs up! i rate lucid dreamer as andy zeller’s second best movie, next to BLIND SIGHT! well, i don’t mind if this adds some pressure to the big time director… actually as a big time producer, i’m really looking forward to the long-expected baby and i insist on its arrival!~
