Not-so-Reality Movie with Audience Interaction Meets a 6-Month Bender

El-Bender.com, along with Verdad Productions, plans the first action-adventure drunkumentary ever. Everyone has dreamed of having $1 million handed to them to spend as they wished. One man's dream has come true. And it will all be caught on video.

(PRWEB) July 2, 2004 -- After careful consideration, the subject of this innovative independent film has been hand-selected by the production company. El Joel, as he is known, accepts the risk with his confidence high and his understanding of the project low. This feature-length movie will capture a simple man attempting a not-so-simple task: to spend $1 million in 6 months and have absolutely nothing to show for it. With absurd priorities and simple needs, El Joel will do things he hasn't dreamt of and spend ludicrous amounts of cash making it happen.

Weve been extremely encouraged to see the excitement up to this point," explains the films producer. Weve received some contributions and sold a bunch of merchandise, but the bulk of the funding will come from individual donations through the Web site from Joe Public."

A year from right now, well be taking off for a worldwide trip thats going to be crazy. Some people dont like the idea of one guy getting to blow a million bucks, but we look at it as philanthropy-gone-nuts. Can you imagine...Joel gets to travel while dumping cash into economies around the world that havent seen dough like this? In a weird way, this whole project is based on generosity. The masses have the ability to help a film crew create a hilarious movie, and El Joel has the ability to distribute the cash throughout the world as he sees fit. Everyone gets to see where his or her money has gone because its all on video. It will be done in ways we dont even know yet. And, most people know that their spending priorities are a tad bit skewed when under the influence. Joels are already unpredictable, and he never backs down from a drinking contest."
