TRAILER
Burning Annie
Directed by Van Flesher
Written by Zack Ordynans and Randy Mack
Produced by Randy Mack
College student Max (Gary Lundy of Donnie Darko ) lives and breathes Woody Allen's seminal film, Annie Hall . In fact, Max believes the movie's message underscores the ultimate futility of romance. But just when Max begins to suspect that the movie is ruining his love life, a girl (Sara Downing of "Roswell") who seems to be the modern incarnation of Annie Hall herself turns his world topsy-turvy. Meanwhile Max's friendsincluding Kim Murphy ("24"), Brian Klugman ( Can't Hardly Wait ), Jay Paulson ("Studio 60"), Todd Duffey ( Office Space ), and Rini Bell ( Jarhead, Ghost World )must confront their own difficulties with the opposite sex.
This is a dark romantic comedy that transcends homage as an original, unflinching, scathingly funny, bittersweet satire of modern love in the media age.
"This anxiously auspicious debut is a pomo romcom for iPodpeople,
a bittersweet riff on the displacement of feeling.
The exceptionally canny script nails how thoroughly
pop culture has colonized our sentiments.
Immensely appealing performances ."
- Village Voice
"It all sounds precious, but somehow it doesn't play that way.
Burning Annie is a thoroughly professional comedy ,
well paced, attractively photographed and smartly acted."
- New York Times
"A surprising little charmer , overcoming its low-budget origins
with sharp writing and a genuinely sweet sensibility."
- New York magazine
"Succeeds in conjuring the tone and spirit of Annie Hall ; a remarkable thing. The best movie I've seen this year. " -- Peter Kavaldo, Entertainment Today
" A great film. " -- Glenn Reynolds, MSNBC.com
"An engaging campus comedy with a sharp script by Zack Ordynans and winning lead performance by Gary Lundy." -- Andrew Johnston, Time Out New York
"A hilarious homage to Woody Allen. Lundy has a wiseass, nerdy charisma and Downing matches him in smarts and screen presence." -- Bill Rodriguez, Providence Phoenix
" Touching and funny , but never cloying or cute. Deft writing and camera work and an excellent score. This little film comes up big. " -- Rick Murphy, East Hampton Independent
" A sharp, witty script that Woody himself would enjoy. **** FOUR STARS [highest rating]" -- Todd David Schwartz, CBS-Radio |
