Roger Fan

Mockumentary spoof of martial arts films takes a tongue-in-cheek look at how an inventive filmmaker completes a movie after his star unexpectedly dies with only 23 minutes of footage shot. McCaleb Burnett, Sung Kang and Roger Fan star. <!-- exceptions -->

I was a great fan of Syd Barretts. Especially his work on 'Piper at the Gates Of Dawn'. Overall he was quite gifted in many ways. Aside from the Music which was in a class of its own he was a very good painter and poet. It's irony how times and the 'State Of Celebrity' have changed. I wonder would the paparazzi be hounding him as he road to market on the bicycle with the famous bell? Yet today there thrives and industry built around Das Shadenfreude. Sadly a very talent young artist albeit, acid or qualudes left little glint of a brillant gaze. Just a thousand yard stare past caring.Living his life out in cambridge in a modest home. Cared for by family who loved him and whom he loved. And something else very rare indeed. Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and Richard Wright made certain that his royalties got deposited to his account, they loved their friend and made certain he was treated fairly by all involved. Thus allowing Syd to live quite independantly of any goverment support. The Pink Floyd that I grew up listening to on the 8-track of 'Dark Side Of The Moon'. while parking with my girlfriend in my GTO. The music that continued to be dynamic and different. But I think all in the band would agree, there was always that knowlege of concieving and producing great Albums and Live Shows, of that Dark matter of space & time had a certain magnetic pull across the two inch tape heads of the Studer Machines at Abbey Road from a friend lost in space.The morning that I heard syd had died,I went to my office and the words came pouring out. Then I went to the Studio and recorded Song For Syd. A few day's latter I put the video together This is dedicated to the memory of Syd Barrett...............................

Praised with "4 stars," (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times), Tarantino's feature film follow-up Jackie Brown earned a 1997 Oscar® nomination for supporting actor Robert Forster (Mulholland Drive), three Golden Globe nominations (including Best Musical/Comedy) and an NAACP Image Award nomination for Pam Grier’s performance. An all-star cast joins Grier and Forster, including Samuel L. Jackson, Robert DeNiro, Michael Keaton and Bridget Fonda in Tarantino's adaptation of the novel by Elmore Leonard (3:10 to Yuma, Out of Sight). A sexy flight attendant (Grier) is caught in a plot between the police and an arms dealer, and everyone's looking for the payoff. There are six unlikely players on the trail for a big score - a half million dollars in cash. But alliances are shaky when its unclear who is playing and who is getting played.
