Philip Zlotorynski is the pseudonym for online film critic Chris Gore, the founder of the now bankrupt movie review magazine Filmthreat. The name Philip Zlotorynski is used for his amateur film experiments. According to Gore, the joke was meant as an intentional rift on Andy Kaufman's Tony Clifton alter-ego, whom was meant to symbolize everything Kaufman hated about showbiz.
Directing
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 during its national run. The film was very poorly received by the public and critics, receiving a very low 23% rotten rating over at Rottentomatoes.
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.
