Amazon & IFC Films Rent Dead Hookers For $3.99

 

Amazon and IFC Films have recently begun offering HD rentals of Dead Hooker In A Trunk for $3.99. The film is available to you streaming, for download or in a letterboxed format on your TivoBox. Their rules:

This is a 48-hour rental. You will have 30 days to complete watching this rental online or to download it. If you choose to watch this rental online, you can watch on a PC, Mac or compatible device. If you choose to download this rental, you can download it to one TiVo or one Windows PC and you will have 30 days from the date of purchase to begin watching your rental. Once you start to watch online or begin a download you cannot change your viewing choice. Rentals can't be transferred to a portable device or downloaded to a Mac.

There you have it. So, for about 2% of the film's total budget, you can watch the finished product. Let us know your thoughts on our Facebook or Twitter pages with the hashtag #deadhookerinatrunk. Perhaps you will end up on a future one of these from the Twisted Twins.

Goody Scolded On Dead Hooker DVD For Language

 

Twitter-er @vee_eff posted these two photos on her account of the Region 2 DVD release of Dead Hooker In A Trunk.

'Please Subscribe' YouTube Film To Be Released Soon

Fresh off of the recent announcement that Dead Hooker In A Trunk had been sold to IFC, we can also announce that our YouTube documentary Please Subscribe, another co-production with the Twisted Twins, is nearly through it's final polish and now has distribution deals in place upon delivery of the film and, of course, after our 4 friends finally get to watch it. Here are a few stills in advance:

Please Subscribe follows four of the original four Youtube celebrities (David Choi, Daxflame, Tay Zonday & Happyslip) whose home made, lo-fi videos went viral and made them household names on the same level as any Hollywood star. The film explores “Celebrity 2.0” and the perks and darkness surrounding the effects of net success on their lives and the entertainment industry overall.

The film features music by Sean Hayes, The Belle Game, Tay Zonday, David Choi and the film's signature track called 'Half As Much' written and performed by Kaleena Goldsworthy of The Scarlet Ending.
