I saw ZEROPHILIA on Showtime last night; and, I found it to be is a very unusual and unique comedy, to say the least.First off, the cast is wonderful and each character is likable. That's only because the acting was so exceptional. Taylor Handley as Luke; and, Marieh Delfino as Luka really pulled this one off. They look enough alike; but, it's the attitude, mannerisms and gestures that really work. Also, Rebecca Mozo as Michelle and Kyle Schmid as Max are excellent foils to our hero/heroine. In addition, I was absolutely thrilled to see Gina Bellmen (of Coupling fame) in her role as Dr. Sydney – WOW, what a performance! ZEROPHILIA is easy-going and non-judgmentally in its presentation of gender roles – I mean just look at the title sequence, "Microangelo Entertainment" and "Scambled Egg Productions" – these guys aren't taking themselves too seriously.
... View MoreWriter/Director Martin Curland did a great job. I loved it.I was invited to a screening of Zerophilia at Westwood Crest Theatre November 16, 05 in the LA area and it was great to see the theatre packed. It's a romantic comedy with a twist. The audience loved it. I'm not one to laugh easily at films, but, this one had me laughing out loud a lot.I hope these guys get distribution.The theatre was packed and everyone was clapping and smiling at the end. You could tell by the faces that everyone loved it.I went in without knowing a thing about the premise line and never looked at the trailer. It took me by complete surprise. A cute movie that really does a great job of highlighting love for a person no matter what the gender is. It's a great comic fantasy. With a twist I'd never thought of.You are what you are! Good job...;)
... View MoreJust saw the film, "Zerophila", this past Monday as a part of the 7th Annual Deep Ellum Film Festival, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Hopefully besides the festival circuit, this film will at least receive some sort of theatrical run before it hits DVD.In this fictional narrative, the main character dealing with a rare genetic condition that causes him to change gender with each erection, and the only way that this can be altered is to have sexual relations with another person with similar symptoms. There's plenty of genuinely funny scenes in this film, as well as some sensitive issues that handle without being bogged down with syrupy sentimentality.I applaud the cast and writer/director Martin Curland for this film.
... View MoreGreat concept, good performances Very original. I saw the film at the Deep Ellum Film Festival in Dallas 21- Nov 2005. Great movie, Funny and a little deep. The film underlies a message of finding your true self. If you have a chance, see it. This film is funny, entertaining and bizarre. Enjoy a look inside a young man finding himself in a way you will not believe. Martin Curland has a feature he should be very proud to show. I hope it is picked up for distribution. Try to find Kelly LeBrock in the opening sequence. Don't hate her because she's beautiful. In this rare coming-of-age comedy that combines elements of magical realism with edgy humor
