“My Big Fat Independent Movie” (Title Sequence)

This two and-a-half minute opening title sequence tells the story of one aspiring filmmaker and his journey through the creative process of writing, directing, and distributing a movie outside the Hollywood studio system.

Directed by Philip Zlotorynski from a script by Chris Gore and Adam Schwartz, “My Big Fat Independent Movie” has a knowing, insider quality that could generate a modest cult following. But the best reasons to see it are Evan Mather’s animated title sequence and a dead-on Christopher Walken impersonation by Neil Hopkins. And how can you not respect a movie that dares to toss an irritating, bicycling French girl called Anomalie into a garbage bin?
