Balls Deep 1.0 Film Festival Version from John Ta on Vimeo.

A Man comes back to his home state of Hawaii from a trip in Vietnam having smuggled 100 grams of golden triangle heroin with the sole purpose of re-distributing it for a hefty profit. However, he finds problems with his idealistic approach with both comedic and tragic consequences.

Pay very close attention to this sentence:

“This leaves Blu-Ray as the presumptive victor in the irrelevant optical disk format war. It now must face up to the real competition: the continuing success of DVD and the growing popularity of downloads, both on the internet and on-demand cable TV.”

Someday packaged media will be irrelevant. It will be a relic of the completists and obsessive compulsives. One day, everything you own, except clothes, will be virtual… somewhere on the internet and what you buy when you purchase is the right to access that source.

Packaged media, like the CD, is dead, thanks to the ipod and mp3. Movies and Blu-Ray and HD-DVD will be the same.

Anybody remember Divx? It was a format that Circuit City championed competing with DVD where you buy a movie and throw it away after a couple of viewings. Well Divx has resurfaced as Xvid (Divx spelled backwards, get it?) – a well known codec for .avi files which is what everyone uses to format their movies for downloading.

This is a link to e-dreams (edreams) old official website with some information on it.

10. Too many people are asking me about it, already.

09. Because art belongs to the people, not the creator.

08. It is not only this Film, but the music of Jason Taylor of The Pharcyde that needs to get out there.

07. Drugs are pervasive, so why not this cautionary tale.

06. Because it is different and unlike anything that you have ever seen before.

05. Because John Ta is planning on making his next movie soon and needs your support!

04.

thru 01.

Willie McGuire is an actor in “Balls Deep.” His friend went to Diamond Head Video over on Kapahulu. Let us just call this friend Joe.

So at these video stores, they have monitors set up and movies playing on them.

It just so happens that Joe looks on this monitor and sees Willie there.

So Joe goes up to the counter and says, “I want to rent THAT movie.”

The counter guy says, “That movie is not for rent.”

That movie was “Balls Deep.”

This is just one example but unless I decide to distribute this officially, it will be distributed virally through DVD burning like it already is.
