In the typical 21st century style I'd never met Darren Bousman or Terrance Zdunich face to face even though we spoke or emailed just about every day for months while creating the REPO! site and TZ's site. With their crazy schedules (and mine, I suppose) we were lucky that they came up with the idea for the REPO! Road Tour and that tour came through Atlanta.
We were pumped to meet them and also to see the final cut of the film right here at the Plaza Theater and it was insane. I mean - insane, insane. For starters there was a line around the block and that line was made up of die-hard fans of the flick dressed up as characters, singing lyrics and dying to get inside. We walked up to see D & T in line and I introduced myself. "WILL!" they both shouted - it was funny cause they had no idea how they'd find me in this crazy crowd. Both of them are class acts, but I knew that by now. Terrance even apologized to Betsy for taking away so much of my time. Haha - he is a funny bastard, that one. To ANCHORAGE! Mush!
The showing rocked. People sung along at points and hooted and hollered through out. There was a lot more humor points in the final cut compared to the very rough cut we saw way back when. This great audience amplified the point that there is a crowd out there who is REPO! through and through.
Then after the Q&A (which was excellent) and a long line of signatures and photos we hung out at the bar next door. I found out they added a screening of the film at Full Sail on Monday. Well, it wasn't planned till the last moment, but you know I had to get down to the sunshine state to help spread the REPO! word over at the Full Sail campus. Shown in HD to a 250 crowd of film students and then a Q&A panel - it was a good time. Props to D & T for all they are doing to bring this film to the people - your hard work is well worth it - keep it up guys.
