My first feature film was released in the US today. Netflix hopefully to follow.

Its a Sci-Fi creature/comedy called "Lizard Boy". I directed it and co-wrote it, and we produced it a couple of years ago for less than the coffee and bagel budget of a hollywood feature.
It's been a long hard road trying to get it distributed, but we finally landed US and international deals.
The first review I've seen is pretty positive:

http://www.videoviews.org/lizardboy.html

I like the fact that this particular reviewer got the humor. A lot of people told me to not play up the comedy aspect and sell it as a straight horror/action movie - hence the current trailer does not really focus on the humor - but I'm glad to see, at least to some, the humor comes across.

Also, if enough people save it to their Netflix que, Netflix will order it. I'm told we need about 300 "saves" before they will order it.

Any comments, suggestions, good or bad from my friends at DU are welcome.

oh right... the website is lizardboy.com
