Kisses and Caroms Lands Distribution Deal with Warner Brothers |
IndieClub Member Vince Rocca's micro budget DVX100 feature film Kisses And Caroms is being distributed by Warner Brothers. You can support Vince and the indie film community by picking up a copy of his film at Blockbuster, Hollywood Video, Movie Gallery, or WalMart.
Kisses And Caroms is about a girl who arranges a threesome to show her ex-boyfriend that she is his dream girl, but blinded by his libido, he believes their relationship is best left as friends. Through the antics of offbeat characters at a billiard pro shop, he realizes all his fantasies in her, but is it too late?
The DVD is packed with extra features, including 3 featurettes, 2 audio commentaries, the short film “Helium,” and a Photo Gallery with over 80 pictures.

HS: Thanks, Edmond for talking to us about your experience as a composer and post-production sound designer!
EA: Thank you. I’m grateful for the opportunity.
HS: You recently mentioned that you were finishing the sound mix of an interesting documentary. Can you tell us a bit about that documentary (what it is about, etc) and what your role was in it?
EA: Yes. That film provided an interesting experience. A 30-minute (roughly) short was developed, as well as an 88-minute version and a 60-minute version. The documentary is called “Boxes” in its short version or “Store” in its long version. It's about people who use storage units for a myriad of things, what comes out of storage, and the business of storage. Interesting subject. I was originally asked to be the composer for the film. That I did, and enjoyed the task. There were some issues with audio quality, however, because of difficult locations, time constraints, etc., and since I have good experience mixing and fixing sound, I was asked to take on those tasks as well.
