quietearth [Celluloid 03.14.08] movie news drama



When I see a foreign film with a guy in a yellow bunny suit sitting next to a woman in a mushroom suit, my interest is immediately piqued. Blending some great cinematography with a Russian folk tale setting, director Slava Ross has created something which seems to speak volume about Russian depression. The story reolves around an actor who's spent the last ten years playing the role of a rabbit in a dilapidated childrens theater. He's divorced, and he knows this is his last role. Trailer and full synopsis following!

"Actor Arcady has spent the last ten years playing the role of a Rabbit in a ramshackle children's theatre in a small provincial town is Russia. The demoralized actors play mundane roles and chase lost dreams with vodka and despair. He understands that the role of the Rabbit will be the only part in his actor’s life, but his soul cries out for real art. The only person who admires him is a young actress playing the part of a Mushroom. One day a sponsor appears in the theatre, the owner of several sausage shops. He offers money for a new performance and unexpectedly Arcady gets the leading role. The Rabbit experiences fleeting happiness until they begin to interfere on set.
Can Arcady hold on to his self-esteem or even his life?"

This film is advertised by Echelon. I feel bad for Slave Ross, because he got heated and will never see a dime for this film. So many people are suing Echelon company and Eric Louzil who never pays anyone a dime, ever. Before dealing with him, check him out, please! He is a slippery scumbag, and you will never get paid, I know from personal experience.

Eric Louzil advertises this film. he is CEO of Echelon. Has been evicted for non payment of buiding he rented. Has legal writs for monies owed and hides it in various places. Do not do business with him or RGH/Lion or signa.

Eric louzil is a great guy and Echelon Studios is a great company. I have received numerous payments for my films from Echelon Studios. These posts are obviously from a filmmaker who has made a film that cannot be sold by anyone.

I sold 300 films to STARZ for Eric louzil and he did not pay me. I have a judgement against him as well. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH ERIC LOUZIL! or ECHELON! YOU WILL REGRET IT!

Lots of bitter people who are not straight... I have gotten paid by Eric Louzil and Echelon actually represents my films well... I have a low budget film, well made and I've received a lot for it that no other company would have given me... Echelon does well even in tough markets... So I disagree with these biased statements from producers with very poor movies

I have done numerous deals with Echelon and Eric Louzil has paid me for each of them. I do not understand where all of these people get their information from. Could it be that you are old employees that shouldn't have been hired in the first place or maybe you just make crap films. These people are all bitter with films that they should have never made in the first place. If you plan to make a worthless film that most people will never watch because it is complete garbage, do not expect to get paid for something that even a 3rd world country with one tv would not watch. I have been to their office and spoke with their helpful staff over 10 times. I will continue to do business with them and the people above need to stop crying like little babies.

This last guy is obviously Louzil himself coz this scumbag owes me thousands of dollars and then disappears. he doesnt answer phone or mail. He exploits filmmakers knowing they have no money to take him to court. But he oughta know he's messing with the wrong filmmaker right now...

Eric and everyone involved is scum... Eric wrote the above email about him as a great guy ... he sleeps with people who work for him ... he steals money from producers ... he has over 45 judgements against him and banned from AFM for non payment ... stay away from this person

Eric is a great guy and it's obvious that the people that put up the above insults are self serving idiots. Echelon Studios is a great company and I have made lots of money from them distributing my film.

Let's be very, very clear... Eric Louzil is most definitely a dishonest scum bag who has taken advantage of many low budget filmmakers. If you are considering having his company represent your film, you might as well just set yourself on fire -- it'll be a lot more direct and honest.

This guy owes me 140K for a film he sold and received the money. Never got it, got a judgment, changed the name of his company from Echelon Entertainment to Studios. Hides his money, keeps everything under his wife's name. Total crook and trying to hunt him down. Will get him eventually. Just a matter of time. Either legally or otherwise.

It's interesting seeing and reading all these people discussing the corporate thief that is Eric Louzil. It's even more interesting seeing the people defending him who talk about films he handled which paid them money... which films? The guy's a leech, a terrorist... ERIC LOUZIL IS A THIEF.
