"Radius
is a text book example of how a little ingenuity, determination
and talent
can produce a film that defies its humble budget. On top
of that, Helmut goes so far as to chronicle the entire process in such
a
way as to make this venture a classic example of how to get the most
out of what you have to work with." |
"Full
of fun anecdotes and interesting stories of filmmakers in the heat
of production!" |
"An
impressive film done with little resources, and for any aspiring filmmakers
it’s a great guide for what to expect and what you can accomplish.
It really is like a whole film school on disk!" Jeffrey Reddick - writer of 'Final Destination' and 'Final Destination 2'. |

"I found disk 2 to be one of the most thorough, honest,
and fascinating looks behind-the-scenes that I’ve ever seen. I
wish I could have seen something like this when I was in film school."

"RADIUS
shows what's possible if you have enough moxie to make your dream
a reality." |
| Just a quick thanks for the great DVD...Of course the selling point for me was not the end product but the journey to reach it. As an aspiring filmmaker myself I have always sought after detailed information on the trials and tribulations one goes through in order to reach a goal and your DVD delivers. Again thanks... NEF |
| I just got finished watching Radius, and both the film itself and the making of are extremely inspirational. It taught me how to make a low-budget indie movie, as well as inspiring and teaching me how to be a better director. Please tell your cast and crew that Radius is absolutely amazing and that they did such a phenomenal job with it. Easily the best $20 I've ever spent! Chad Cooper |
| I found it so enjoyable and informative I quickly purchased *2*, one for myself and one for another aspiring filmmaker. Douglas Horvat |
| The DVD totally rocks! I was expecting it to be a really cool "student" film type of DVD, but this is beyond what I imagined. Awesome. Simply awesome.... I think you're way UNDER charging for this thing. Ron Dawson |
| I teach television production and bought your DVD set and showed it to my advanced students. When I introduced your film to them I suggested that this may be the future of film and TV distribution (i.e., the Internet) and was immediately barraged by dozens of questions... Thomas Riti |
| Thought it was great, considering your limited budget and what you had to go through in the heat. I especially like the Guerrilla Film School disc. I passed them both off to my son....He has been making skateboard videos for the last 4+ years and I think this will really give him a heads-up on what to expect. Steve Krupsky |
| Just got the DVD. Awesome! You should be very proud! Cool job. Thanks for putting all that cool info out there for us. Alex, The Enigma Factory |
| I just got my DVD in the mail and watched it with my housemate. Bravo! Good story, great actors, and a wonderful "making of" DVD! I look forward to more productions from K2. Joseph Prisco |
| I am a video production teacher at a high school in Florida. I am currently using "Radius" as a series of lessons on filmmaking for my students and I wanted to let you know how well they are going. Your "Guerrilla Film School" DVD is a huge hit, especially after seeing the film and then getting to see how the whole thing was put together. While most of my students still think $60,000 is a lot of money for a budget, they understand that it is nowhere near what the typical Hollywood production costs. Kevin Brislin |
| I watched Radius last night, and I was really impressed with what you accomplished. I think you really pulled it off. I can tell from watching the making of spots that it was a tough one to shoot. Kudos! Jay Steele |
| I just wanted to take a moment to send you a quick "thumbs up" on Radius. I ordered it a few weeks ago and received it. Since it came in the mail, I've watched it three times and watched some of the "making of" clips many more times than that. I have greatly enjoyed both the movie and the documentary parts of the DVDs. I hope that I have the opportunity to see more of your work up on the big screen. Bruce Carleton |
| I just received my Radius DVD in the mail today. It was great! … You had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. The whole package was impressive, but I was especially struck by the strong script and the acting which drew me into the characters' predicament from the opening scene. Thank you for your vision and for your persistence. I can't wait to see Moonmen! David Frye |
| Just wanted to say thanks for putting together a great DVD package for Radius. I received my copy at the end of last week & watched it all over the weekend. A fascinating insight into what is - for me - a fairly high budget production!! Henry Burrows |
| I bought the Radius DVD set because I was interested to see what an independent filmmaker had to go through to make an ambitious short film like yours. I was not disappointed. While I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, I was even more impressed by the extras….. Good luck with your next project, whatever it may be. You set a pretty high bar for yourself, but I’m guessing you can vault it when you get there. Scott Woelfel |
| I didn't get far into the movie before the wife and kids came home... it looked great! Hard to believe it's an independent, home brew movie. Tomorrow I'll stay late at work, plug in the headphones and zone out for the full effect. Can't wait. Robert Gavila |
| Hey! I liked Radius and all the supplemental information. I have been sharing your Web address with other science fiction and indie film fans. Cael Hazard |
| "VERY much worth the wait, and let me congratulate you by adding, the best money spent on anything video in at least a decade. I will tell all my friends. Thanks again for the quality entertainment!" Peter Gilson |
| "I
bought your Radius DVD recently and enjoyed it. I plan to watch the film again with the integrated Behind the Scenes stuff. Today I watched all of the second Behind the Scenes disc." Kraig Bailey |
| "Thank you for the movie and extras. I'm an old fart in video (25 years) but new to indie films and this was great! I'm so jazzed about indies from this disc I have two in the works now. The cast and crew were great! Kudos to all." Tom Cusack |
| "I recieved them and I loved them. I am interested in making a video and found these dvd's extremely helpful and informative. I will be buying a couple more to give to my friends." Joe Vautour |
"I
just received Radius in the mail today and I love the movie and all
the spectacular extras included in the second Dvd....Thank you for the
awesome movie and for sharing your experience with others."
Casey Warren |
"I
really just discovered the Radius film project and am completely blown
away at how much you were able to do, and within such a modest budget."
Dave Walsh |
"Congrats!!
You are the future of film making."
Mark Jaress |
"Excellent
movie. Even more interesting 'making of' DVD. Very cool stuff. What's
next for you and your crew?" Chris
Ortenburger |
"Just
finished watching the DVD and I must say that for the scope and budget
of the project you all did an excellent job! I have watched many "making
of" and "behind the scenes" videos and been on many film
stand bys as a medic (and interested observer). Your project is the
first I have seen that IMHO really gets down to the nuts and bolts that
are within reach of the average guy (or girl). Your commentary I found
to be much more informative than the 'Project Greenlight' series."
Robert Morrison |
"Just
wanted to drop you a line to say, "Thank you !" for making
the film 'RADIUS'."
