Trailers Not Trash // MIFF

It’s the night before MIFFmas and if you haven’t been through the festival guide, or read the ThreeThousand special edition, you probably don’t even have a wishlist yet. For those that might need a little bit of audio/visual stimulation we have selected five trailers from the programme that you can watch and imagine that they were 1000 times bigger and at least 25 times as long. If that doesn’t get you excited then this quote from movie star Edison Chen about Dog Bite Dog just might. “This movie is a pop out movie, either pop out and make mad loot, or pop out and have mad cult cred, this is one of the proudest movies I have ever done”.
