The Man Who Loved is now available for purchase at amazon.com.



Here's the back cover copy, for those of you who are interested in such things:

Filmmakers Mary and Tom Russell create a compelling and tense portrait of a young marriage in The Man Who Loved. When his wife Sarah begins to act strangely, the laidback George takes the path of least resistance. But his passivity only widens the gulf between them. Implicit in the film's title are its two central questions: What does it mean to be a man? and What does it mean to love? George finds the answers one night when he must hurt Sarah in order to save her.

Newcomers Jacob Hildebrandt and Adrienne Patterson give sensitive and naturalistic performances in a film that is at once tough-minded yet unquestionably romantic. Directed with a sensual eye for moments of domestic beauty (the changing of bedsheets, the bruising of a plum) and written with a psychological deftness that eschews traditional plot structure in order to create a palpable but unnamable sense of tension, The Man Who Loved is a remarkable example of true cottage industry filmmaking.

The Man Who Loved on DVD

Our film The Man Who Loved is now available for purchase on DVD for $19.99 via CreateSpace. The title will also be available for purchase on Amazon within the next couple of weeks, and a VOD release is planned for the near future.

The disc includes an eight minute discussion of the film, in which we give some insight not only into our intentions but also into working as independent filmmakers.

We plan to release some of our other films, as well as Tom's novel Jolt City, in the near future.

Bookmark Turtleneck Films

It's been a while since we posted over at Turtleneck, and as more than one friend has remarked, we have so many blogs that it's hard to keep track of it all.

The New Turtleneck Films makes it a lot easier. Everything posted on our other sites-- for example, Son of a Seahorse and The Man Who Loved-- will be cross-posted here. And there will be new news on both sites (and, by extension, this one) very, very soon as we have some rather exciting things in the works.

You'll also get some movie and game reviews. All in all, we should be posting more frequently. So stay tuned and check back often.

IMDb Page!

We now have a page on IMDb: The Man Who Loved on the Internet Movie Database.

Not to jinx it, but I think there's more good news coming soon.

As you may have noticed in the sidebar, we've added one of these newfangled Amazon aStores. If you purchase dvds and books from our aStore, we get a whopping four percent of it. Just think: if you were to spend a hundred dollars, we'd get to keep four! That's seven White Castle hamburgers and a few extra cents that can go towards our mortgage. You can feed us and give us shelter, allowing us to continue to make entertaining, thoughtful, thoroughly-independent movies. What are you waiting for? Get your Christmas shopping done early-- it's only eleven months away! :-)
