Following the July 18th premiere of the lesbian-themed drama at the 32nd Annual Outfest Los Angeles LGBT Film Festival, Bader will immediately give the film its worldwide release as a streaming rental, breaking outside of and bypassing the traditional Hollywood distribution channels.
In keeping with the "do-it-her-way-ethos”, Bader was set on the idea of exploring alternative distribution options in order to engage and connect directly with her fans, and get the film out to as many people as possible. Following in the footsteps of filmmakers the likes of Joss Whedon who has taken on self-distribution, Bader isn’t the first filmmaker to the direct-distribution game; but she is one of the first ever out filmmakers to offer LGBT audiences around the world and cinephiles alike a lesbian themed feature film as a low-cost digital release immediately after its first festival premiere.
Anatomy of a Love Seen stars Hollywood newcomers Sharon Hinnendael, Jill Evyn and Constance Brenneman. This film within a film explores love in all its painful and messy glory.
Filmed in five days, and completed withing 30, on a micro-budget, this improvised movie based on Bader’s story, characters and outline fulfilled her desire to create a very organic and visceral experience.
Despite the tight parameters for production, there is no shortage of quality in the look of the film - it doesn't feel "low-budget". Due to the style; languishing, luscious cinematography, and the careful pacing, the film punches well above its weight.
The story follows Zoe and Mal who fell for each other six months ago while filming a love scene, which led to an intense, whirlwind affair, followed by a devastating breakup. Soon after their split, where the film picks up, things get complicated when the two have to meet on set once more to re-shoot that fateful sequence.
Released just a few weeks ago, the trailer for the film is making a lot of noise having already garnered 350,000 views
Anatomy of a Love Seen will be available streaming on July 19 for $5.00 for a 72-hour rental period at: http://www.anatomyofaloveseen.com
