An Interview with Filmmaker Mike Binder (Part 2 of 2) - Page 2


It’s just a word of mouth thing and I’m just trying to see if we can get it written up on Internet sites. When I say the long tail, when people like it, then they do their own blogs. Google search for John Gissing. You can see that people put up their own blog entries once people see it. That’s the beauty of what’s to come.

Can people only get it on…


Just on The FreeBird.

Is it going to be on Amazon.com, NetFlix, or those kinds of places? Are they interested?


They haven’t come to us, but right now I’m happy to have it just the way it is.

And you’re doing it on your own terms. It’s a good comedy. I don’t think people are used to seeing a comedy like that anymore. You are pretty classical with the style of the comedy.


That’s what we tried to do. I wanted to do a throwback to Neil Simon or Blake Edwards, just a whole different kind of energy when comedies weren’t that goofy and they weren’t quite arty, they were just people.

The Search for John Gissing is now available on DVD through The FreeBird. For more information on Mike Binder's films visit his website.
