We know most people hate to sign petitions. Particularly on the internet. But we really need signatures to get Screen Gems to see that there's an audience for this film and for Director's Cuts in general. You can sign so that your name appears to the public as Anonymous and your name will NOT be given out. We've fought 10 years to get here and in less than 30 seconds, you can make all the difference in the world to the future of this film and to us, while opening a door to other filmmakers who find themselves in a similarly difficult situation.

Thanks in advance for your support.
Have a great day!

I recently finished directing a film I'd spent 8 years trying to get made. I was also the writer. The material was original. The film was taken away from me during post production and completely re-cut from scratch by producers. They released their cut to dvd in September 2006. The film was originally written, developed and shot as a thought-provoking, socially relevant horror movie dealing with the subject of kids and violence. The new focus of the producers in post production, however, was to change it into what they called a "killer-kid film".
After being removed from the film, I decided to complete it at home using the materials available to me: dvd dailies and a Mac. The film was originally shot in Super 35mm by Bill Butler (JAWS, THE CONVERSATION, ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOOS NEST), but even Mr. Butler was not invited by producers to participate in the film's post-production process.
I have since started a website and petition to get my cut of the film released. The site is full of information about the film and what happened: docs, articles, interviews with cast and crew who all want to see this version out there...
Please check it out if you'd like to know more or would like to help by signing the petition. The site is: http://www.spreadingtheplague.com
