Academic Malfeasance: The Movie - Full Pitch from Eric Clermont Player on Vimeo.

Newest pitch for "Academic Malfeasance: College Funding With One Simple Felony," for the next Kickstarter Campaign by Panther Pictures, LLC. Includes references to the reel of writer/director Eric C. Player, and the latest teaser.  http://www.am-themovie.com

"Academic Malfeasance: College Funding With One Simple Felony" is a comedy about the state of both education in America, and Prisons.  Because the world needs more Prison Education Comedies.  Come to think of it, this might be the first one.  It's about one high school graduate's idea to use the prison system to get his college education, even if he's never stolen a pencil.

Best of 2014

The Golden Globes are on tonight, the First Official List of What Hollywood Thinks of Itself of 2015. Thanks to the reshuffling of Awards Season a few years back it is the opening gun of all the Official Lists. Lots of people make a list of what they think were the best films of the previous year about this time of year. And here, in the tradition of Perd Hapley, is another one (mine).

10) Chef
9) Boyhood
8) The Imitation Game
7) The Good Lie
6) Life After Beth
5) Sharknado (Theatrical release, Rifftrax Night At The Movies)
4) The Hundred-Foot Journey
3) Captain America: The Winter Soldier
2) Guardians of the Galaxy
1) The Lego Movie

I believe animated films are just as entitled to "best of" lists as any other, without being segregated away from the "real films." and "The Lego Movie" was just the best movie made this year. No contest. It is full of joy, wisdom, love, laughter, and technical mastery on a level that Lucasfilm used to achieve.

I'm aware there are other "important" films that were released this last year, many that you will hear about tonight. I tip my hat to them. I look forward to adding them to my collection. And I enjoyed George Clooney and Michael Keaton's speeches along with everyone else. But THIS is MY list.
