Zorg Lives!

We're back! It’s been awhile since we’ve updated the site, but we wanted to give you an update on Zorg and tell you a bit about what's next for us.

First, Zorg is showing at another film festival! It will be playing at 7:00 pm on Friday, August 5^th at the Gen Con Indy Film Festival. The screening location is the Council Room at the Westin Hotel. We're excited!

We also have a couple of free five-day passes available for Gen Con. If any cast and crew are interested in attending, just let us know by emailing Quentin, Paula or me, or leave a comment here. First come, first served, so get those requests in! We hope to see you there!

Secondly, Netflix is still considering carrying Zorg, so any subscribers out there can help us by saving the movie to your queue and rating it. Thanks in advance!

Finally, we just want to again thank all of you--investors, cast, crew and audience--for all of your hard work and support over the years. I can't tell you how much we've appreciated it.

Quentin, Paula and I are busy at work on our next opus, so be sure to stay tuned for more information. Our new film is titled Night of the Mangler and it's a comic mystery set at a giant pumpkin festival.

Nothing says "blockbuster" like giant pumpkins!

Take care and be sure to stay in touch!

"Zorg" at Famous Monsters!

"Zorg and Andy" has been accepted to the Famous Monsters Film Festival! As a kid, I used to read every issue of Forrest Ackerman's Famous Monsters of Filmland, so it's pretty cool we're involved.

Details to come!

Pig is a Super Hero!

Like you didn't know that. But now we have proof! Jen's obviously gotten herself into a bit of a scrape at the museum again, but thankfully Pig is on the job.

God only knows where poor Andy is. Guess we'll just have to wait for the sequel to find out.

Montengo, that magnificent bastard, sent this to me the other day from an artist named Becca. Check out some more of her fantastic work here.

Thanks, Becca! And, as always, many thanks V. Z.!

Netflix members! We need your help!

“Zorg and Andy” is now listed on Netflix as a future release. To get Netflix to make “Zorg” available for rent now, we need to show there’s demand for it.

So, to all of you Netflix members out there, please save “Zorg” to your queue by clicking here. After you sign in, just click on the Save button. That’s all there is to it.

And if you've already seen the movie, we’d love it if you left a rating and review.

We Made Sonic Cinema's End of Year Movie Review!

Brian Skutle at Sonic Cinema calls "Zorg and Andy:" "a goofy and hilarious indie comedy about phallic statues and ancient occults that is like a Matt Groening cartoon done in live-action…as zany as a "Simpsons" episode with the production values of an Ed Wood film- the result is the type of high-concept comedy we don't see much anymore."

Many thanks, Brian! Check out the other films on his list here!

You can order your "Zorg" DVD or digital downloads here or here!

The All-mighty, Yet Benevolent Zorg ™ wishes you all a very happy New Year! All hail me!

Pants and Kidneys: Film Festival Report

Thanks again to the Wet Your Pants Comedy Film Festival for showing "Zorg." We had a great time, we met some nifty people and we hopefully helped some kidneys. We do so love the kidneys.

Also, they gave us a gift bag. And snacks. As independent filmmakers, we consider it a good day when we don't get slapped. So to receive not only approval but swag? Well, we're going to be friends forever.

In addition, people finally got the "Baal State University" joke. Hard to ask for more than that.

Don't forget, people: love your kidneys. Because they love you.

"Zorg" - Kitschy Goodness!

Fatally Yours says, "'Zorg and Andy' is remarkably fun...a film reminiscent of the drive-in creature features of the 1950s: A little over the top, a little silly, and that time tested formula of idyllic Americana up against something truly arcane... With more than a few laughs, a lovable cast, and a brand new reason to fear your college economics professor, Zorg and Andy gets my seal of approval."

Many thanks to Michael Varrati!

Another Great Review!

This one from Sonic Cinema:

"Writer V.Z. Montengo and director Guy Davis take 62 minutes to do what some filmmakers can’t do with 92 minutes- make a high-concept comedy that’s funny and engaging, not to mention original."

See for yourself--buy a copy today!

Three Out of Four Cigars!

Rogue Cinema's review of "Zorg and Andy" says, "'Zorg and Andy' is one of the most innovative indie comedies I've seen in quite some time." And, "It's quirky and odd and laugh out loud funny...and, in the end, I'm pretty anxious to see if Andy has another adventure in him."

Many thanks to Brian at Rogue Cinema! Sequel anyone?

Latest "Zorg" Review -- Rated 8/10!

Here's a sample:

"'Zorg and Andy' is a fantastic microbudget comedy, a perfect marriage of cheesy exploitation, silly science fiction, and brainy humor. Davis and crew should be extremely proud of their accomplishment; these insanely talented individuals have somehow managed to pack an absurd amount of fresh, well-executed material into a breezy 60-minute package, a feat that's even more astounding when you take into consideration their complete lack of funding. Which just goes to show that the only tools required to craft an entertaining motion picture are talent and dedication, plain and simple. Imagine that."

Read the rest of the review at Bloody Good Horror (many, many thanks, Todd)! And then consider going here to buy a DVD!

Zorg will be pleased if you do (and you really, really want to please Zorg)!
