If you’re a Minneapolis native it’s pretty rare these days to be excited about a film premiere that was shot in your home city; mostly because there are so few (if any) of them being made here. So when we got word this week that Rob Perez’ goofy comedy, nobody, is getting it’s red carpet premiere at the prestigious State Theater in downtown Minneapolis, we definitely took notice.

lindeman, a sculptor in his last semester of art school, is stuck. his final project – a two ton block of granite – stands in the center of his studio constantly reminding him that he’s not moving forward. to begin working, lindeman needs to be inspired but the problem is – where do you look for inspiration?

lindeman tries the goth scene, the gay scene, the vegan revolution scene. he tries to fall in love, become one with mother nature, and pass himself off as an intellectual. he tries everything he can think of but, in the end, he might just realize he doesn’t need to be somebody to be someone. flying under the radar – being nobody – has its perks.

Judging by the simple synopsis and trailer, this movie looks to be a fairly straight forward story; a series of silly events culminating in a profound realization by our lead, played by Sam Rosen. The script writing and cast looks to be the overlying strength here and probably a pretty laugh-hardy time at the theater will ensue. I mean c’mon… the movie co-stars a goat for Christ sake. Plus, because so few films are ever shot exclusively in the Minneapolis area, those out of the know are going to be pleasantly surprised about the stunning locales this city has to offer. I expect good things on that front.

One interesting tid-bit is that every bit of marketing I can find on the film is printed in 100% lower-case lettering. While not lost on me, I think it adds that extra bit of subconscious intrigue or at the very least delivers some simple quirk to the movie’s subtext.

So if you’re in the Minneapolis area (or even if you’re not), pick up some tickets to the premiere (NOT reserved for just industry and press – this is a public screening!) and stop by the gorgeous State Theater on Thursday night for the full red carpet treatment (cast and crew present – including Josh Hartnett). It should be a blast. We’ll see you there!

If you’re not in Minneapolis or can’t attend the premiere on Thursday, fear not. The film will run at Block E for the foreseeable future and of course you can follow further progress on Facebook or Twitter.
