danceboyShort version: WoSaT is available on torrent sites. It's legal with what looks to me like a CC by-nc-nd license.
Long version: Have you ever bemoaned how a movie suffers from too many cooks, and not enough geeky hand-done special effects? Want a movie made by one guy, in his garage, while his producer skipped town with the capital and killed distribution, about, oddly enough, one guy, making a movie in his garage while the producers attempted to steal the capital and kill distribution?
Have you ever thought that it might be a good idea for the creator of an unavailable movie to release it free so as to create interest and possibly allow him to do something new?
Either way, Mike Jittlov has released his film "The Wizard of Speed and Time" on various torrent sites. He requests that, should you be interested in hearing more about his projects, you send him your email address.
I've been looking for a statement on his site as proof that he is behind this, and I can't find one, but A) his site hasn't been updated in years, and B) there's a bunch of people on the web who claim that they've talked to him and he is, in fact, behind this. So either there's a conspiracy, or it's really him. It has a "Special Karma Calming Notice", and we all know that those can't be faked...
Among other places, it is available at http://www.mininova.org/tor/347217
I'll be bringing a few copies to hot foods.
"May All Your Good Dreams and Fine Wishes Come True!"

Date: 2008-02-18 02:18 am (UTC)The thing I'm really looking for, though, is a copy of the soundtrack CD he and John Massari (who did most of the music for Jittlov's films) put out several years ago. I got a copy when it was available, and some time later when I went to rip it, I discovered it was no longer readable, and a few minutes after that, I discovered it was out of print. :-(
