I just watched the trailer for "Back-up Man" and laughed my ass off.Subtle humor - I would like to invite you to enter "the Backup Man" to the 2nd Annual International Independent Film Festival for Y'all North Texas. Free of Entry Fees for you.
I especially liked the DP's idea on the scene were the lights go out and you're left seeing the silohuettes - GREAT LIGHTING!
