Hollywood Black Film Festival 2009

Broken Hearts Club is finally on DVD...in multiple places. C'mon, buy it today.

It's on IndieFlix where you can buy the DVD or Stream it on your computer.

It's on CreateSpace -- the prelim to Amazon.com. You've read the reviews. I guarantee you'll love it. In fact, if you don't love it, let me know and I'll ease your pain with a free iconic deteriorating heart logo poster. Yup. I'm putting my money where my mouth is (Actually, I have about 10 posters in my garage dying to find a home)

But it's here. I've talked about this damn film for two years. I love it. It's my best writing to date. I get kudos all the time about how refreshing the writing is -- wait, here's a quote from the doods as ScreenJabber.com

“I just finished watching it… I am in awe. One of the best films I have seen this year and one of the best independent films I’ve ever seen. Your writing is absolutely fantastic. … It is truly excellent. 5/5. Well shot, rich colour, and not a hokey performance in sight. Outstanding.”
~ Review by Adam Stephen Kelly (ScreenJabber.com)

I'm still trying to figure out why you're still reading and why you haven't clicked over to CreateSpace to buy the DVD. How about if I promise you that you'll love this film? How about if I swear? What if I tell you that everyone who's ever seen it enjoyed it -- even the haters who wish I would crawl under a rock and die because I'm a decent writer (read: a better writer than they are). No I'm kidding (but not really). Still not convinced?

Here's the extended trailer...






Now, your poster won't come framed and all that but, but I'll send it neatly folded and signed.


Oh, by the way, Scarlett Johannson loves The Broken Hearts Club. Who doesn't want to like what Scarlett Johannson likes? She's got great taste!

So let's regroup...You've been to this page more than a couple of times, you may have even posted a comment or two. Heck, you might have even tried to spam me, I dunno...but you've read me blab and blab and blab about Broken Hearts Club over and over again. Aren't you just the least bit curious about the film? Here's another quote:

“Angelo Bell is a genius. His feature film, The Broken Hearts Club, is populated with so many amazing characters that are fully formed, exciting to watch, and who tell such rich stories that I was in awe of his ability to write such depth into so many characters. Bell utilizes his gift for creating characters to paint a broad, vibrant, and deep palette of humanity and being through a large cast of characters."

That quote is from Reid Gershbein of the Royal Baronian Theater in San Francisco. He's a Twitter friend and a new age filmmaker. His films "Here, My Explosion..." and "The Dabbler" have been watched by 37,000 people online. So he must know what he's talking about, dontcha think?

Wait a sec. Validation. That's what's missing here. Validation! How can you take my word for it when I'm the one trying to sell the DVD, right? Well smarty-pants, did you know that Broken Hearts Club aired as a six-part series on AMGTV? I betcha didn't know that, huh? Wait... you didn't know that? How could you not know that when I've been blabbing about if since October?? Anyway, Broken Hearts Club aired on AMGTV for six weeks. Then, AMGTV liked it so much they aired it again. And guess what. January 26th they are airing it again. Now why would they show it again and again if it sucked or something?

And this year Broken Hearts Club (by Angelo Bell, not the 2000 flick about the gay guys--not that there's anything wrong with that) rolls out to several other networks too. Networks like MyRetroTV (www.myretrotv.com) and ZillionTV (ZillionTV.com) and then it goes waaaaaaaaaay overseas to Africa to the African Broadcast Network (www.abnafrica.tv/) and then to the mother of all American-owned European television stations, Global Broadcasting Company where it will screen for Western and Eastern Europe including Germany, Switzerland, Austria, the Alto Adige province of Italy, Lichtentstein, Luxembourg, Denmark, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, and Montenegro.

Broken Hearts Club has already screened at festivals in Canada, the United Kingdom and Celle Ligure, Italy. Now you can see it in your own home -- as many times as you like.

Okay, one more review and then I'm done:

"Funny, sweet and clever! I loved your movie and think it’s perfect for a series with a cult following!"
~Ell, Writer Wilful Damage Blog (Australia)

Not many films are worthy of a cult following so I am grateful for these very kind words. But this ends my pitch. It's time for me to focus on the next project, Resurrection of Serious .... wait, what's that? You're ready to buy the DVD? Awesome. You won't be disappointed. I promise. I've provided links below, just go ahead and click and make both of our days :-)

love ya. mean it.
