keep your eyes peeled for "Silent Dove"


this is a film made by some folks down here in gainesville, FL. i know one of the guys who made it, dave dupree (guitar/singer for gainesville band FROZEN COBRA, formerly known as the BARGOYLES--much better name, IMHO), plus i know some of the people who "starred" in it (a guy in the very first scene was the drummer in a band i was in...). it's shot in and around gainesville, so that's pretty funny/cool...at least to me.

here's a link to the film's website, you can see the trailer there and read up on it.

here, on brightcove.com, the dupree brothers talk about it.

here's a write-up in the gainesville sun about it...

i watched it last night, and i was impressed. by no means is it something that could be rated as AWESOME or anything like that, but for what it was...a VERY low-budget indie thriller, it was cool. i actually thought the production values were exceeding the performances, but if you look at it like it was a more realistic vision instead of a big-budget vision, it totally works. it would've slid nicely into the middle of a "grindhouse" feature...it's like a cheapie reservoir dogs or something like that......
