Hardware Wars 30th Anniversary Screening & DVD Release Show. June 4th, The Crest Theater, Sacramento CA. 5:30pm and 8:30pm.



    Apprehensive Films presents two screenings of Hardware Wars, arguably the most successful short-film of all time, at The Crest Theatre. It takes place on June 4th at 1013 K Street, downtown Sacramento. Writer-Director Ernie Fosselius will be in attendance. Show times are at 5:30pm and 8pm.
    The program also includes over an hour of Ernie Fosselius’ other world famous short films. Some of the films include The Hindenburger, Jiffy Repair Pal, Carpool Detective, Taxi-dermist and the all new Plan 9.1! The show will be hosted by Cinema Insomnia’s Mr. Lobo.
    In addition to the Crest Theatre screening, Stage Nine in Folsom will be hosting a DVD signing of Hardware Wars with Ernie Fosselius on June 5th from 4:30pm to 8pm. Come meet Ernie Fosselius in person and pick up a DVD of Hardware Wars, Porklips Now or Plan 9.1 at 705 Sutter Street in Folsom.
    Follow the adventures of Fluke Starbucker, Arty Deco, Ham Salad and the rest of the Red Eye Knights in this spectacle that was light years ahead of it's time. This is the original Star Wars parody! Before the Robot Chicken Parody, Before the Family Guy Parody... Way Way Before.
    “Hardware Wars won over 15 first place film festival awards, including the award for Most Popular Short Film at the Chicago Film Festival. It is considered to be the most profitable short film of all time, grossing US $1,000,000 as compared to its paltry US $8,000 budget (a much better profit ratio than Star Wars itself). George Lucas said in a 1999 interview on the UK's Big Breakfast TV show that Hardware Wars was his favorite Star Wars parody.” The Official Hardware Wars Wikipedia Page.
    The 30th Anniversary Hardware Wars DVD will be available at the show and contains over an hour of great content including the Original Uncut Film with newly restored wires and strings, Director's Commentary, Creature Features Interviews with Bob Wilkins and much much more. If you can’t make it to the show pick a DVD up at any Dimple Records location, R5 Records or The Beat.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

APPREHENSIVE FILMS DISTRIBUTION

Filmmakers:

We’re looking to pick up short and feature films for distribution. We like 70s-80s-style grindhouse cinema, horror, exploitation, animation, kung-fu and some off the wall comedy films. We want films that were shot on film! Super-8mm, 16mm, 35mm or 65mm. If you shot your movie on SD video or HD video it should be something that fits the format. For example the Blair Witch Project fit the video format because it’s a mock documentary. That’s what we’re looking for. Send NTSC DVD or VHS screeners to:

Apprehensive Films
1000 Sunrise Ave. Suite 9B #203
Roseville, CA 95661

Our Contracts:

Apprehensive Films contracts are simple and straight forward. If we want to distribute your film we'll contract the film for 24 months, we offer 30% return on the gross for feature films and 15% return on the gross for short films. This is a great deal for filmmakers as most distributors only offer a return on the net and as most of you know it can take a film years to turn a profit. With a return on the gross sales you make money as soon as we sale a single copy! Our contracts are typically for worldwide exclusive rights, but we create custom contracts all the time. For example if you've already sold the European rights to your film, don't sweat it we're still interested.

Become an Offical AF Reseller:

Looking to make some extra cash or do you already have a store and want to carry our product? For as little as $50.00 you become an official Apprehensive Films Reseller. For just $50.00 (including shipping in the continental US), you will be able to double your money if you sell the product we send at our suggested price. We're looking to expand our distribution network everyday and we'd rather see the money and the product in the hands of independent minded people like ourselves, versus corporate chain stores. For more information e-mail us at [email protected] or send a self addressed stamped envelope to the address below.
