I did hear about the "Blockumentary" a while back. David Pagano mentioned it on Beyond the Brick one time, and I read about it elsewhere. I heard that it premiered at some convention. I'm looking forward to seeing it, I hope it's in national theatres (if it's not, I guess I can just watch it on iTunes).
Nick Durron and his brother can be seen right after David Pagano speaks in the trailer, working on Melting Point. (edit: and again at 2:04)
This documentary looks well-produced! Somewhat moreso than the clips they posted publicly back during the early days of the festival run.
You can never have too many documentaries about something! As long as they're all unique, and have something different about them.
I saw this at SIFF last year and enjoyed it, I'd give it 4/5 stars, it has a clear narrative flow and is enjoyable although a pretty causal overview AFOL culture.
I know that Pagano is well-established as a brickfilmer. Does anyone know he ever visits (or reads) BiM?
He has an account but I'm not sure how much he frequents BiM.
Pagano does stop mo work for LEGO. He's an exec. producer on the BiM documentary as well.
I must admit I was a little miffed at the presence of marimba music in the trailer for this movie considering I planned on a lot of marimba in our doc. I think I'll try not to let this documentary influence me too much, though, as I'm pretty sure they're wildly different kinds of films.
I'm pretty sure they're wildly different kinds of films.
Watching the trailer I didn't feel like it's a competitor to your film at all, really. It doesn't seem like it focusing on brickfilming, just uses it as a clever way to link segments about different kinds of AFOLs. I'm looking forward to watching this, it looks fun and interesting.

I doubt outside audiences will draw that distinction as easily. This film has been in production since before I started the BiM doc, so it's not like I didn't know about it or feel cheated. I just want to make sure our documentary doesn't come off looking like a knockoff to wider audiences, haha.
