Film Threat critic Chris Gore
has turned writer-producer with the feature "My Big Fat Independent
Movie," a parody of the indie film world starring Paget Brewster,
Neil Barton and Eric Hoffman. Described by Gore as being in the vein
of the "Scary Movie" franchise, "Fat" includes satirical takes on
such indie fare as "Amelie," "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," "Memento,"
"Secretary," "Pulp Fiction," "Run Lola Run," "A," "Swingers" and
others. Gore co-wrote the "Fat" screenplay with Adam Schwartz and
Yoni Berkovits. Philip Zlotorynski is helming the project, in
production with locations in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. "Fat" is
being financed through Aloha Pictures. "The film is a love letter to
the indie community and those who take the kinds of risks that
Hollywood traditionally avoids. It's a low-brow comedy for the
high-brow crowd," Gore said. Zlotorynski's credits include the short
films "Sway" and "Walkentalk."(Ian
