You snobby trash-o-philes out there, despairing of ever finding another film quite as good/bad as Ed Wood’s Plan Nine From Outer Space or something the late David F. Friedman produced, have been able to breathe a sigh of relief in recent years, haven’t you? The relatively low cost of pro/am video equipment has allowed people who would never otherwise be able to jump through the hoops of the Hollywood system, a chance to make a movie. Neil Breen is startling new entrant in the burgeoning genre of “outsider cinema.” Along with Tommy Wiseau (The Room) and James Nguyen (Birdemic: Shock & Terror), Neil Breen is doing something truly new. To be clear, I’m not saying it’s any good, merely that it’s “truly new.”

This weekend, at Cinefamily in Los Angeles, the evil overlords of holy fucking shit will have Neil Breen in person:

Many of Cinefamily’s HFS connisseurers have crashed up on the rocks trying to describe Las Vegas real estate agent cum visionary independent filmmaker Neil Breen. Inevitably, words and high-concept references fail, and one is reducing to just pressing a copy of actor/director/writer/producer/caterer Breen’s first feature Double Down into the confused hands of a future Breen-iac. The only way to understand Breen’s work is to just see it. Here…now…he’s graced us with another full-length excursion into his completely unique universe. This time around, Breen plays a messianic alien Being angered at the greed and corruption of the human species, particularly our lack of renewable energy and environmental consciousness—oh, and business-man crucifixions and time-stopped gang wars..and…well, as Neil put it himself, “This thought-provoking supernatural film is filled with surprising mystical metaphors, exciting twists….and a stunning dramatic conclusion.”

It’s imperative that you, the Cinefamily-goer, understand how sweetly insane this Saturday’s HFS show really is. Neil Breen has become one of our favorite filmmakers. Why? Basically, he turns the laws of physics inside-out, startles you with images you could never conceive of yourself, and delivers a left-field version of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s cracked worldview on the budget of a Troma film. Oh, yeah—and for his day job, he’s a Las Vegas real estate broker. Get ready to be Breen-damaged!

Saturday, February 22, 10:15pm. Come join The Man Who Four-Walled The Earth for a Q&A after the film! Get tickets here.
