NASTY OLD PEOPLE

This is Mette's story. Member of a neo-Nazi gang, her day job is to take care of four seniors that all are just waiting to die. Her life becomes a journey into a burlesque fairytale, where the rules of the game are created by Mette herself. Mette is indifferent about her way of life, until she one night assaults a man, kicking him senseless. Waking up the day after, she realizes that something is wrong, and accompanied by the crazy oldies, she longs for respect and love. Together, they create a world of their own. A world you never knew existed.

==================================================================

BEHIND THE SCENES
In the autumn of 2007 Hanna Sköld took a private bank loan of 10 000 euro to make her debut feature film "Nasty Old People". Now she continues to ignore the middle men in the film industry by distributing it together with the film collective RåFILM’s Luffarbion, aka Vagabond Cinema, and the file sharing site The Pirate Bay. In addition, she releases it under a creative commons license so that anyone can download, share or remix the film.

In case you didn't read that, the site is at http://www.nastyoldpeople.org. I can't tell you what it's about, but it's got a ton of seeders and, from the trailer, which includes a dildo, it's pretty profane.

Here's the logo:

Also, if this isn't relevant, I just thought you guys might want to know that some filmmakers actually want to distribute their work through torrent trackers, and mods delete this if it isn't relevant.

 

[shakirmoledina]

i think although this is strange... the concept of the movie is useless and wasteful

 

[Guild McCommunist]

I know some people will offer torrents or free downloads of entire albums or movies for promotional purposes. Nine Inch Nails released The Slip free of cost off their site, although that wasn't quite for promotion but more so for "fuck the record companies".

Anyway...

This is Mette's story. Member of a neo-Nazi gang, her day job is to take care of four seniors that all are just waiting to die.

That alone ruined it for me.

 

[B-Blue]

Nasty Old People.
Sounds like a bad porn movie.

 

[luke_c]

The movie really has no plot.

 

[jphriendly]

All of us who worked with Nasty Old People

Sounds like a day at work for me (restaurant).

 

[Tac 21]

doesn't matter if the movie sucks.

rock on TPB

 

[Beware]

You people realize TPB is really NOT going to be what it was before, yes? There are going to be a lot of serious fundamental changes made and it will likely hardly be a torrent site at that point. =\

What on earth are you talking about?

Also, regardless of what the movie is about or whether it is of any interest to you guys is irrelevant.

The more musicians, movie makers, and such that offer up their works in this method the better for the cause.
