Chris Gore, film critic and founder of the bankrupt film magazine Film_threat magazine, directs under the pseudonym Philip Zlotorynski, based upon an obscure real life filmmaker Philip Zlotorynski (born Philip Scott Zlotorynski on February 25, 1975) is a filmmaker.
Early career
Philip graduated with honors from California State University, Northridge with a degree in film and television production in 1997. He spent two years as head of the Trailer Department for Roger Corman's Concorde-New Horizons.
Notable Accomplishments and Controversy
After completing the dramatic short Sway in 2001, Philip went to work on his next short project "Walkentalk" which has gained some noteriety on the festival circuit. My Big Fat Independent Movie marked his feature directorial debut. However, My Big Fat Independent Movie was a box office bomb, experiencing a very limited theatrical run in 10 markets, earning only $4,655 in box office receipts. The film was poorly received by the public and critics, receiving a very low 23% rotten rating over at Rottentomatoes. The film was also rejected by the Sundance film festival, the Slamdance film festival and most major film festivals even though the film went on to play at some lesser known film festivals with mixed results such as Cinequest, South by Southwest, San Diego Film Festival, Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival, Newport Beach Film Festival, Worldfest Houston and the Temecula Valley Film Festival, where it won best Feature. A firestorm of internet debate soon erupted over the film's lowbrow treatment of independent film classics and, as a result, the movie suffered a backlash from die-hard independent film fans, many of which considered the film to be blasphemous toward the genre.
Chris Parry, entertainment journalist and film critic for efilmcritic.com offered the following analysis about why "My Big Fat Independent Movie" failed to catch on with the public, stating:
If the makers of MBFIM had chosen only awful indie films to ridicule, they might have found it easier to keep the comedy standard high. Alternately, if they decided to go way over the top and jam as many pop culture references in as possible, as a true test of the indie film fan’s knowledge, they might have carried things off on pure geek homage value. But the film as it stands is stranded in a dire middle ground, where the target audience loves the films being ridiculed too much to go along with things, and the wider audience simply won’t get what films are actually being referenced.
