B-Side Featured Release: Blood Car

This week's featured release is one we've been excited about for months. Every week we gather around the office projector and watch the latest indie films to come our way. Blood Car - a sci-fi horror comedy about what happens when the price of gas goes up to $30 a gallon - was the first flick ever to receive a standing ovation during an office screening. It's just that good. It's the kind of movie people start talking about and they just. Can't. Shut. Up.

New Releases for September 19

Hey there, B-Siders. Sorry for the lag in sending out a New Releases update, but it's been an incredibly busy and exciting summer over here. We'll be sharing a bunch of exciting news with you next week, but for now let's get back in the groove with a little New Releases sampler plate....a short, a feature and a doc with some heavy beats.

New Releases for July 25

This week's update highlights 6 new b-side releases from a diverse set of festivals including Slamdance, Denver Underground, Woodstock, Boston International, and Rome International. Once again, this selection demonstrates the broad range of style and subject matter I hope you are coming to expect from b-side.

The first round is on us

Two years ago I started b-side because I wanted to bring great independent films to an audience beyond film festivals. But building a web site where filmmakers can sell their films is only one part of the puzzle. The real trick is helping people find something they're going to love, even though they've never heard of it before. Most people are drawn to the familiar. One look at this year's top-grossing movies makes that pretty clear.
