Greetings from Tromaville!
Dear Troma Friend,
Troma has always listened to and been guided by our fans and
this is one of the reasons why we have been successful over
the last 30 years.
A number of you have suggested that we produce a "visual"
DVD Boxed set as an illustrative companion piece to my
recent book, "Make Your Own Damn Movie" (St. Martin's
Press)...and so we have decided to do this!
Now we need some specific advice from you about what you
want to see in these Make Your Own Movie DVD's.
So far this 5-disc set will include behind-the-scenes
informative documentaries filmed by us on the set of actual
movies; in many different countries, a workshop
deconstruction edition of my early no-budget feature-length
theatrical film "The Battle of Love's Return", and a number
of interviews that I have conducted with filmmakers like
Trey Parker (Cannibal the Musical, South Park), John
Avildsen (Rocky), Eli Roth (Cabin Fever) and many others,
asking for advice and filmmaking secrets of success for new
aspiring filmmakers. What else?
What elements do you believe should be stressed and included
in this Boxed set?
What filmmaking secrets do you personally want revealed?
Please contact me with any suggestions and thoughts that you
have about this project at
makeyourownmovie@tromateamvideo.com, it would be greatly
appreciated. This is a very ambitious and difficult project
and we want it to be the best. That's why we need your
wisdom.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Have a great day and remember, Toxie loves you!
Very Truly, Lloyd

Well, as a Troma fan I would surely enjoy a history of Troma on the DVD, as
well as many easter eggs or "turds" as you call them. One thing that made
"All I Need To Know..." and "Make Your Own..." so great were the footnotes.
They were hilarious and should be encompassed somehow within every segment
on the dvd. Sort of like VH1's Pop-Up video, but of course with a Tromatic
twist. It would also be interesting to gather data on how Troma has effected
our society as a whole, whether it be music, movies, or tea pots. Perhaps
you could also include an interview with Michael Herz and block out his face
with a picture of Joe's and make his voice sound like a chipmunk. If he
doesn't want to be made public, then you should at least torture the poor
bastard. These ideas are a start, and if you like them I have many more.
Thanks.
