    Goodies coming soon!!!

    Hello all you dear supporters of "Nothing Special" staring Karen Black and Barbara Bain! I am so pleased to tell you that we had a successful opening (with more to come) and have begun releasing the film to a few more outlets.  AND we are sending out your thank you Dvd's, Blu-Rays, digital post cards, and signed Dvd's as fast as we can sign art, stuff the envelopes and input addresses!!

    I hope you got to read our incredible write up in Huffington Post by Art Critic Mat Gleason who deems us a "small, Independent gem of a film," or the review in Variety that says "Julia Garcia Combs will have audiences rooting for Louise" or the incredible review by James Wegg in Rotten Tomatoes who examines with high praise so many details. But if not, you'll be getting to make up your own mind soon!

    Thank you so much for all your support. You heard the call and you answered, and we hope you will enjoy our critically acclaimed film for many years to come. Please let us know how you liked it.

    IF YOU HAVE CHANGED YOUR ADDRESS - PLEASE UPDATE US RIGHT AWAY, or some other person might decide to keep your hard won copy of our film, and we really want you to have it!

    All our best,

    Angela and everyone at Yellow Wallpaper Productions

    Yay Steve! I knew someone would comment on the reference! I love the term "Blue Roses" because they don't exist in nature, they have to be created by humans. When the boy in "The Glass Menagerie" hears Blue Roses instead of Pleurosis, he is choosing to create and believe in something beautiful and impossible, he doesn't even consider the debilitating possibility. That is the underpinning of the dramatic action in our film "Nothing Special" - believing in something beautiful and seemingly impossible.

    Plop, plop, fizz, fizz...

    ... oh what a relief it is! We are there! Over the top! Past the finish line! But we still have very inexpensive DVD's for offer on the pledge, with 13 hours to go, tell your friends...

    Thanks everyone for pledging, spreading the word and generally rallying around this project. I know you will be glad you did, and I can't wait to thank you in person if possible, and meet you on our travels with this film and hear about your reactions to the story when you see it. Your generosity has been beyond inspiring!

    Best wishes, Angela
