Fantasy short starring Brian Blessed at DVinfo.net

Marco van Belle · May 14th, 2010, 09:07 AM

Hi everyone,

My fantasy / sci-fi short 'Mr. Bojagi' has launched online today for a 10 day run.

The full film is available to watch on Dailymotion - Online Videos, Music, and Movies. Watch a Video Today!

The film stars Brian Blessed (Flash Gordon / Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves) and Hildegard Neil (A Touch of Class, Anthony and Cleopatra).

It's a completely self funded project that has already screened at festivals in the USA and the UK.

We shot DVCPro HD on the Panny 900 with a pro35 adaptor.

If you can spare 10 minutes please visit the site - and if you enjoy the film please forward the link on to your friends.

Many thanks,
Marco
Director / producer - Mr. Bojagi

Hi again everyone,

I know nobody's posted a reply, but I'm hoping some of you may have watched Mr. Bojagi.

I just want to let you know that in the first 3 days of it's limited online release more than 21,000 people watched the film in full.

If you haven't yet it's still available - until Sunday night.

Hi again,

I just want to update this threat and announce that my short film Mr. Bojagi has now been released to download on iTunes.

It was released last week (in the UK, US release might have been a bit earlier) and just yesterday it broke into the iTunes Best-Sellers film chart.

This is incredible for us - because to get into this chart Mr. Bojagi has had to out-perform feature films (we beat Ridley Scott's Robin Hood among hundreds of others).

Yes, we were in at a lowly 190... but for a short to break into the main chart at all is something we're really stoked about. We're also in the top 100 in the 'comedy' category... again up against feature films as well as shorts.

If you haven't heard about this film please check out our website - MRBOJAGI.

We've also released a host of 'behind the scenes' videos on my youtube channel - YouTube - MarcovanBelle's Channel - these give an insight into how we took a tiny budget and managed to cast a name actor and make an award-winning short.

Thanks as every for all and any support.

If you see the film I very much hope you enjoy it.

Best,
Marco
