Know any geeky independent film forums?

Post by Beatsong » Sat Feb 27, 2010 10:38 pm

I'm not particularly a film geek, but I need someone who is! (or just a happy coincidence).

I'm trying to find the name of a low-budget independent Irish film that I saw in 1997. It was absolutely brilliant, but I forgot the name soon afterwards and kept meaning to get around to finding it again. Now I find that nobody has ever heard of it from my description, and I can't find it anywhere on the net without the title.

I need one of those nerdy film specialists who knows everything about the independent film output of one particular country. There must be somewhere on the wonderful internet I can find him?

(And forget the accusations of sexism - we all know that such people are ALWAYS a "him". :D )

Thanks.

Try the "I Need To Know" message board on IMDB. If you don't get an answer there within a few hours, then you dreamt the film!

Thanks a lot - 38 minutes later, I have a reply!

The film was called "Guiltrip" and is an absolute corker. Sadly though it doesn't seem to be available on DVD.

Told you. :biggrin: The people on that board are amazing. I have had films identified on the tiniest remembered scene. It helps that there are hundreds of film buffs online at any one time. :tup:
