Congrats factorial!

 

Looking forward to seeing it.

Thanks, Joey. every time I see your moniker I think of the small piping hot Tom Thumb classic mini cinnamon-sugar doughnuts from the state fair. Why can't the local doughnut shops carry those bad boys? 

Yup. Let it ride. Very funny movie. The one and only GOOD gambling movie ever made. Owning Mahoney was OK also. That Ben Affleck movie was the Biggest pile of SHIT I've ever laid EYES on. Along with the Bruce Willis movie. And the Harvard kids counting cards. And on and on and on. They all Suck

I wouldn't argue with your limited scope of examples, but you need to open up a bit and expand your cinematic knowledge. It's also hard to compare a narrative to a documentary. 

1973 and 1974 gave film arguably it's two greatest gambling films and characters laying the odds. And 2015 gave us a real good indie gambling film. 

Robert Altman's class, "California Spit." Elliot Gould nailed his roles as Charlie Walters in humor and the mentality of a gambler.

And who doesn't like a road trip gambling film? Who doesn't like a broke guy making a large wager on Gonzaga using credit in a restroom?

I also like Rounders, The Hustler, The Color of Money, and The Cooler. Hard Eight and The Sting may not be straight forward gambling films, but they are well made too. 

Hey! Mofome, PVC Pipe, King Revolver and everyone in forum land... I hope all is good!

Just an update... The Best of It is being released on May 3rd. Indiewire unveiled the new trailer and announced the release date last Friday.

Hey Joe -

I'm around... just been crazy busy. I'm putting the final touches on the film and getting ready to start filming my next movie.

You must be giddy about the Vols. Things are looking up in Knoxville! 

Hi Joey -

It's the million dollar question right now. There's still a lot of moving parts and I have a lot of meetings over the next month. 

I know we'll definitely be available on iTunes, Amazon, Google, etc. We'll have bonus content, audio commentaries, and artwork menu thru a purchase on iTunes.

The television is the unknown entiity right now and a possible limited theatrical release. The subscription (Netflix and Hulu) will come a year after it becomes available to buy and rent. 

There's still a chance we could be looking at a December 2015  release or early 2016.

Hi guys -

I hope all is well. I was just posting to let you know we released the official trailer to my film THE BEST OF IT yesterday. 

It's a feature length documentary being released late 2015/early 2016.
