Author & Film Analyst Bryan Kristopowitz is Giving Direct-to-Video Movies the Red Carpet Treatment

On this week's episode of Excelsior Journeys: The Road to Creativity, host & producer George Sirois sits down with an old friend from the days of writing together on 411Mania.com: author / critic / film analyst Bryan Kristopowitz. A member of the deep roster of prolific writers on 411Mania since 2005, Bryan immediately set himself up as a champion for the ultimate cinematic underdogs: the B-movies. Those wonderful oddities that lined video store shelves since the 1980s. And most recently, Bryan has gravitated toward low budget direct-to-video action flicks, which are still being filmed and released to retail stores to this very day.This year, Bryan took the ultimate plunge into the direct-to-video world by compiling his list of action movies he recommends to fellow cinephiles into his very own book: Not Coming to a Theater Near You: 50 Great Direct-to-Video Action Flicks of the Early 2000s.Make sure you get your copy by clicking HERE.And definitely check out 411Mania - one of the premiere indie pop culture websites out there - by clicking HERE.Excelsior Journeys: The Road to Creativity exists primarily as a platform for creatives of all kinds (authors, filmmakers, stand-up comics, musicians, voice artists, painters, podcasters, etc) to share their journeys to personal success.
