	Movies - Shades of Gray

Shades of Gray is an independently made film by Jesse Cowell. The film costs approximately $2000 (USD) and 5 years of leisure editing.

The productions was filmed on location in Los Angeles, California and edited in Queens, New York.

Independent film reviewer Jason Santo of Microcinema Scene said Shades of Gray is "to be more reminiscent to the Oceans 11 remake because of its ensemble cast and break-neck pace, many will find the dialogue to be somewhat Clerks-flavored."

Plot

The film depicts a story about a boy named Eric. Five of his former best friends confront him with blackmail after stealing his little black book. The conditions for the return of the book are Eric must meet each of his former friends, confront issues his of lack of respect to others, and must truthfully feel sorry for his actions. If all three of these conditions are not met, then his former friends will mail his book to his girlfriend.

Distribution

Unlike many indie films that try to achieve monetrary gain from their films, Shades of Gray is different. Audience members distribute the DVD by a method calling it Play it Forward. Play it Forward (borrowed from the film Pay it Forward method) entails one person who has a copy of the DVD watching the movie and then burning copies to others for them to watch. This maximizes the amount of exposure and, therefore, increases audience members.
