Last’s year most buzzed about indie flick, Bellflower, introduced us to a whole new cadre of up-and-coming talent, including writer and director Evan Glodell and his co-stars Tyler Dawson and Jessie Wiseman, but there was another essential driving force behind the production – producer Vincent Grashaw. If you’re familiar with Bellflower, you’re likely also familiar with the hands-on nature of the production, one that entailed that just about everyone involved had to do more than just their standard job description. Grashaw was one of those people, and he and Glodell were even nominated for a John Cassavetes Award at the Independent Spirit Awards in reflection of that. Like Glodell, Grashaw has done a number of different projects in front of and behind the camera – from acting to directing to writing, even editing – and he’s now lined up to make his feature directorial debut with Coldwater. According to Variety, Grashaw...

Evan Glodell’s debut movie, named after a street featured in the film, is the second movie I have seen released by Oscilloscope Laboratories. The first one was Rare Exports, and that ended up being tied for my film of 2010. That being said when I first read about Bellflower I had no idea who was releasing it. Now, Bellflower and Rare Exports couldn’t be further apart in terms of content, what they share though is originality and soul that you would come to expect from quality independent cinema.
In Bellflower we follow the exploits of Woodrow (Evan Glodell) and Aiden (Tyler Dawson) who are childhood friends living in California. Both of them are fans of the movie Mad Max 2, and spend their time building a flamethrower in anticipation of the impending apocalypse where they can rule the roost in their Muscle car, named Medusa, whilst living out their Lord Humongous fantasies.

Director/writer: Evan Glodell.
Bellflower is one of those films that are hard to describe. Surreal in some parts, meandering in others, this is a film that looks at heartbreak from a masculine perspective and the results are not always pretty. This film was well received at Sundance 2011 and Evan Glodell's first film as director is a little Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, a little bit of Apocalypse Now and even a bit of 1981's The Road Warrior.
Two friends, Woodrow (Evan Glodell) and Aiden (Tyler Dawson), have moved from Wisconsin to Los Angeles for their love of film. They truly adore Mad Max: The Road Warrior as Aiden quotes lines from Lord Humungus. So, they build a flamethrower and a car to prepare for a never coming apocalypse. Meanwhile Woodrow falls for Milly (Jessie Wiseman). Their multi-day trip to Texas and back is full of adventure and romance.

Bellflower, written and directed by and starring Evan Glodell, hit Blu-ray and DVD earlier this week from Oscilloscope Laboratories, and in honor of the occasion the team at Coatwolf Productions have released a new trailer which is actually an old trailer. Confused? We were, too, until we read the explanation from Glodell himself.
Here's the story per the Coatwolf Productions website:
This is the original trailer i wrote for Bellflower in 2003 before the first draft of the script was even finished. When Bellflower sold earlier this year we got the script back out and decided to make it. We all liked it, but it made me so uncomfortable that i buried it.
Time has gone by, our theatrical release is almost over and everyone still seems to like the film which i think has taken a lot of stress off me. The DVD came out yesterday so this is the...

Chicago – “Bellflower” is another indie drama about romance gone horribly awry. And yet it’s also not “another” anything. With unique style choices and competing streaks of nihilism, romantic love, and misogyny, star/writer/director Evan Glodell’s debut made waves in certain circles and now comes to Blu-ray and DVD courtesy of one of the most impressive home release studios on the market, Oscilloscope. The film is such a dark slice of work that it will only appeal to a certain audience but at least Oscilloscope treats the fans of this likely cult classic well.
Blu-Ray Rating: 3.0/5.0
Is this the calling card of the next indie maverick? Is it “Reservoir Dogs” for Generation, what are we on now, Z? I’m not sure. There’s an undeniably engaging style here, in no small part due to the homemade cameras Glodell used for production that often have focus and cleanliness issues,...

Let's talk about the ladies of "Bellflower." I am fascinated by the accusations I've read that "Bellflower" is in some way a misogynistic film, and I heartily disagree. I think the movie is meant to be enormously personal, and I don't buy for a second that Woodrow, the main character played by writer/director Evan Glodell, is a woman-hater. Far from it. He's a guy who is easily crushed because of how much he lets himself fall when he meets Milly, played by Jessie Wiseman, and the dynamic between her and her best friend Courtney, played by Rebekah Brandes, may be poisonous,...

Sometimes a film comes along that is so out there, it's unclassifiable by standard film terms. Such is the case with the Sundance sensation "Bellflower," now available on DVD and Blu-ray.
This oddball debut from writer/director Evan Glodell starts out as a love story and takes a detour into "Fight Club" territory, only to become a twisted revenge saga with sex and gore aplenty. We're still trying to process the whole thing. But trust us when we stress: You won't know what hit you.
The film starts out by introducing us to Woodrow (Glodell) and Aiden (Tyler Dawson), two friends obsessed with "Mad Max," who spend their days lazing about, drinking massive amounts of beer and shooting up propane tanks. Their biggest joint ambition? To create a flame thrower. College doesn't seem to be in the cards for these two.

Directed by: Evan Glodell
Cast: Evan Glodell, Tyler Dawson, Jessie Wiseman
Running Time: 1 hr 46 mins
Rating: R
Release Date: September 16, 2011 (Chicago)
Plot: Two friends, Woodrow and Aiden, (Glodell and Dawson), build a flame-throwing muscle car while fantasizing about the apocalypse. Woodrow’s world becomes progressively crazy after he discovers his girlfriend (Wiseman) is cheating on him.
Who’S It For?: Fans of independent film will certainly find something different in the apocalyptic Bellflower. At the same time, it’s “thrift-ster” appeal indicates that this movie could sell out in whole Chicago neighborhoods (you know which ones you are).
Expectations: I had only anticipation to carry me into this movie, as Jeff Bayer had taken a liking to it at SXSW, along with others who happened to catch it at the festival.

Chicago – A film about the American Dream returned to the sender is released, in its own way and time, through the youth of every generation. “Bellflower” feels like the anarchist statement of the current post college dreamers, stuck in a detached atmosphere with electronic time wasters, material glut and little income opportunity to pay for it all.
Rating: 4.0/5.0
Evan Glodell wrote, directed and stars in this hallucinatory vision of the screw-it-all drifters who strive to kill their boredom through the building of extreme weaponry and motor vehicles. Part of it is a love story, but that is destined to fail when anticipating the end of the world, and the civilizing nature of love has no effect on men who were born to die.
Glodell is Woodrow, a midwesterner who moved to California with his best buddy Aiden (Tyler Dawson) to pursue the movies and their own fantasies associated with them.

Chicago – Honest anarchy in American film is as rare today as a weekend without a super hero movie. Writer, director and lead actor Evan Glodell steps up to the counter-society plate with a epic crash-and-burn new release called “Bellflower,” and pushes the envelope for apocalyptic storytelling and micro-budget magic.
Bellflower is a simple story, produced through Glodell’s own Coatwolf Productions, about love and car customizing. It features two buds with similar passions from the Midwest, Woodrow (Glodell) and Aiden (Tyler Dawson). They have visions of the apocalypse, and prepare for it by using their free time to construct flame throwers and one-of-a-kind vehicles, mostly patterned after their childhood love of the Mad Max/Road Warrior series. When Woodrow falls in love, the fallout is decidedly more fatalistic than any aftermath of the end days.

“No one ever tries to race me,” says writer-director Evan Glodell, as he drives EW around midtown Manhattan in his vintage black muscle car. “But people do cut me off a lot. I guess they think anyone who would drive something like this has to be an a–hole.”
Glodell’s ride is certainly a reaction-provoking item. The car was once a normal ’72 Buick Skylark. The director purchased the vehicle for $2,500 to use in his debut movie, the autobiographical indie drama Bellflower, which opened in a handful of cinemas last month and is platforming out to around 30 screens over the next couple of weeks.

Bellflower
Starring Evan Glodell, Tyler Dawson, Jessie Wiseman
Directed by Evan Glodell
Rated R
In a world where every film feels like a big budget Hollywood production, it's almost refreshing to see a film that could have easily had a large scale production but instead kept itself independent (the film was reportedly made for about $11k); this is obvious from almost every piece of the film. Instead of explaining things outright, Bellflower leaves much to the imagination, both yours and that of the lead character, Woodrow. Which can be just as bad as reality, or worse.
We find our 20-something slacker anti-heroes Woodrow (Evan Glodell) and Aiden (Tyler Dawson)attempting to create both a flamethrower and flame-spitting car, both inspired by their favorite film, Mad Max. They're preparing for the apocalypse that may or may not be coming; either way, they want to be ready to rule the masses. This...

In Bellflower, the screen is drenched with smeary yellow-orange hues evocative of a feverish world—Southern California as seen by a pair of thirtysomething Wisconsian slackers—continually splashed by its denizens' hormonal juices. Lit like a sun-stroked trance and composed in frame-crumbling partial focus, it’s a world ready for an apocalypse, which the characters await eagerly: Steam-punk warriors in their own minds, gearheads Woodrow (director-writer-editor Evan Glodell) and Aiden (Tyler Dawson) dedicate themselves to turning San Fernando Valley into Thunderdome, toting homemade flamethrowers and tricking out their Buick into a replica of Mad Max's metallic leviathans. Stunted macho fantasies collide with reality as fellow joyriders Milly (Jessie Wiseman) and Courtney (Rebekah Brandes) enter the picture to simultaneously expand and threaten the male protagonists’ sheltered territory with the promise of romance and heartbreak. Machines roar as relationships collapse, motor oil and blood flow. Suspended between a low-key Sundance drama and...

While twentysomething angst is a common theme in indie films, the gritty and violent Bellflower is a unique take on the trials of young adulthood. A flawed but intriguing movie about the post-apocalyptic fantasies of disaffected young men, Bellflower is strong on concept, vision and visuals, if less so in its story and acting.
Writer/director Evan Glodell stars as Woodrow, an aimless Southern California twentysomething who spends his copious amounts of free time fantasizing about vague notions of global destruction. He and his equally aimless buddy Aiden (Tyler Dawson) build a crude but effective arsenal of flamethrowers and other weapons, hoping that post-apocalyptic chaos will allow their would-be gang, Mother Medusa, to rule the day in a spree of incendiary violence.
Waiting for worldwide mayhem, of course, means a lot of waiting. In the meantime, Woodrow meets and falls hard for free-spirited Milly (Jessie Wiseman); in one of many unlikely Bellflower elements,...

There's a reason young people leave their parents in flyover country and head for California. Southern California attracts outdoors types including surfers, swimmers, tanners, and everyone who likes to dress casually and lead the laid-back life enjoyed by Alan Alda's character, Bill Warren, in Herbert Ross's "California Suite." If there are other reasons to go west, they motivate people like the twenty-somethings in Evan Glodell's "Bellflower," a picture not bound by a strict narrative structure or rational, sober people. If Woodrow (Evan Glodell), his best friend Aiden (Tyler Dawson), the nubile blonde Milly (Jessie Wiseman), her best friend Courtney (Rebekah Brandes, and Milly's roommate Mike (Vincent Grashaw) enjoy California, it's not for the weather or even the outdoors but for the drinking. These characters may start with beer and a cigarette when they get up in the morning (that is, if they can get out of bed...

It's almost impossible for a small-budget indie to see the inside of a movie theaters these days, especially one that's as small and as indie as Even Glodell's Bellflower. But his movie, which he also wrote and starred in, is an impressive debut, one that's full of muscle and gristle that's accompanied by emotional and physical violence. Glodell plays Woodrow, an L.A. slacker who spends all his spare time with his best friend Aidan (Tyler Dawson), building flamethrowers and guns in anticipation of the impending apocalypse. Their belief that the world is coming to an end is mostly tongue-in-cheek, but these two misfits are obsessed with The Road Warrior. At least they are until Woodrow meets Milly (Jessie Wiseman), a ballsy girl who warns him, early on, that if they get together she will end up hurting him.

In considering Bellflower, picture a dirty back-hallway light fixture: stained, buzzing, scarred, two trapped moths desperately flapping in the yellowed plastic globe. The moths are Woodrow and Aiden, BFFs transplanted from Wisconsin to California, who find the only thing waiting in the west is each other. Their time is spent building flamethrowers and cars, burning rubber and ejaculating impotent flame in mild actualization of pathetic apocalyptic fantasies. But they realize too late that the ‘fantasy’ has arrived. They're already living the end of their world. In many ways I hate these two people. Woodrow, played effectively by writer/director Evan Glodell, is a shapeless mass, not quite a man, something to pet and discard. And Aiden (Tyler Dawson) is a fountain of energy but indiscriminate in its use, and most articulate only when speaking through the vernacular of the Mad Max survival fantasy films. Their existence is meandering and likely doomed to fail,...

When I first walked out of Bellflower, I was transformed into that cranky film critic you've once read about. A Sundance film about a young hipster who gets his heart broken over a girl? I saw that last year when it was called Blue Valentine, and I even saw it the year before that when it was called (500) Days Of Summer. I've even seen it on VHS, because I wasn't born when Annie Hall was released in theaters. But what hit me over my big, stubborn head is this: Bellflower is a visual spectacle of real independent cinema.

As the summer movie season begins to wind down, the first weekend in August provides films from two genres that are always solid audience pleasers: The big budget blockbuster and the side-splitting comedy.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes will likely lead the pack at the Cineplex this weekend. The origins story based on the Planet of the Apes series stars James Franco as a scientist developing what he believes will be a cure for Alzheimer’s.
The Change-Up arrives to tickle the funny bone. Starring Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman in a R-rated body switch comedy, look for the film to come in second at the box office with its mediocre to solid entertainment reviews. (Don’t miss our review going live later today!)

The Change-Up arrives to tickle the funny bone. Starring Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman in a R-rated body switch comedy, look for the film to come in second at the box office with its mediocre to solid entertainment reviews. (Don’t miss our review going live later today!)

Evan Glodell in Bellflower
Photo: Oscilloscope Laboratories Woodrow (Evan Glodell) and Aiden (Tyler Dawson) spend their free time designing a Mad Max inspired flamethrower and dreaming of an apocalyptic future in which they drive around in a fire-breathing car they've dubbed "Mother Medusa". This is Bellflower. This is a romance.
Following a research test in which they decide diesel is the better option over propane for their flamethrower, Woodrow and Aiden head out for a night of cricket eating competitions, beer and flirting. Yes, these two guys aren't leading lives I'd refer to as mainstream, but cricket eating eventually leads to Woodrow meeting Milly (Jessie Wiseman), a blonde bombshell he falls for immediately. However, love soon turns into fiery rage as Bellflower evolves into a romantic apocalypse that could only be a part of Woodrow and Aiden's scorched Earth imaginations.
On top of playing the lead role, Glodell wrote and directed Bellflower,...

Title: Bellflower Director: Evan Glodell Starring: Evan Glodel, Tyler Dawson, Jessie Wiseman, Rebekah Brandes, Vincent Grashaw When a filmmaker attempts to do something different mechanically, the majority of moviegoers will probably never give it a fair shake. At times these said moviegoers are justified, for just being different from the norm, doesn’t necessarily translate to solid, ground-breaking filmmaking. “Bellflower” is one of those flicks that execute an approach that isn’t all that smooth; in fact, it can be uncomfortable. What keeps this 106 minute film engaging though, is writer/director and co-star Evan Glodell used the proper story to run in stereo with his artistic shooting approach. Most of the time....

The story of Bellflower is as interesting off-screen as it is on.
Evan Glodell, the writer, director and star originally started working on it in 2003. He had cast most of the roles but through the fate of filmmaking, it never happened. Cut to 2008: They start filming; editing took two years and once they were done, everyone they screened the film for shot it down.
Finally, with no money, Evan scrounged the fee together to submit the film to Sundance and it became one of the ‘go see’ movies at the festival.
The film is about two friends (Glodell and Tyler Dawson) who spend their free time building flamethrowers and a working on a souped up car named Medusa in hopes of a global acoplyapse. When Milly (Jesse Wiseman) enters the picture, things take eventually take a turn for the worse.

A version of this review first ran as part of our coverage of South by Southwest 2011.
A broken heart feels like the end of the world. That's the essential truth and the ingenious premise behind "Bellflower" an apocalyptic love story by Evan Glodell, a mad scientist of a filmmaker. Glodell wrote, directed, and starred in the film. He also custom built the camera he used to shoot the movie along with many of the film's weird gadgets and weapons. Like any mad scientist worth his salt, Glodell occasionally loses control of his creation. But that's what we like to see mad scientists do: invent something truly crazy and brilliant and watch it crash and burn. In this case, the crashing and burning is literal, courtesy the fire-spewing exhaust pipe of a muscle car called The Medusa. Glodell built that thing too. For the film's premiere at South by Southwest, he...

Rise of the Planet of the Apes has finally landed with jaw-dropping effects and strong reviews. Apes should knock either The Smurfs or Cowboys & Aliens off their top two positioning.

(Check back for Toh's ride in the Medusa with Glodell and co-star Tyler Dawson and the FlipCam).

With his debut film Bellflower, writer/director and star Evan Glodell has created a masterful work. The film centers around Glodell’s character, Woodrow, who falls in love with the free-spirited Milly (Jessie Wiseman) only to get his heart ripped out and served to him on a platter after things go awry between the young lovers.
Once things get nasty between the two, it’s an all-out brutal showdown between them and their friends to see who can outdo each other in the destructive retaliation department. Quite simply, love stories don’t get any more effed up than Bellflower, making it one of the most unforgettable films of 2011.
Recently Dread Central had the opportunity to sit down and talk with Glodell about his debut film and what he went through trying to get it made over the course of five years. We also chatted with Glodell about starring in his...

Monthly Movie Preview – August 2011
Summer is winding down, but you wouldn’t know it with the release of big-budget Rise of the Planet of the Apes, the comedic potential of The Change Up and the movie version of the bestselling novel The Help. Sure, The Whistleblower is there as a counterweight to remind us that awful things happen and endings aren’t always happy – but once we’ve been thoroughly bummed out, we can cheer ourselves up with really expensive special effects and Andy Serkis pretending to be a chimpanzee.
It will be interesting to see if the movie The Help is as beloved as the book. If history is any indicator, we’d guess not, since Hollywood has a long tradition of sucking all the life out of novels and then regurgitating it for our viewing pleasure.
Still, it’s more than enough to medicate us against the harsh...

Fresh from a warm reception at Sundance, Evan Glodell’s “Bellflower” arrives as a turbo charged indictment of male adolescent fantasy and a biting critique of misplaced machismo. A burnt-out, bloody, brave debut, “Bellflower” rides out the fallout from a relationship to a stomach-churning conclusion…or does it? It’s a fine balancing act, as Glodell’s Woodrow charms the live wire Milly (Jessie Wiseman), loses her, and then rages – first impotently, then with the aid of a flamethrower and Medusa, a muscle car from hell. The film’s tagline reads “A love story with apocalyptic stakes.” This writer thinks a better tagline would…...

A new poster for upcoming indie film, Bellflower, has been released over at Motion/Capture, and it really is a brilliant combination of beauty and intensity, and by the sound of things, it fits the film perfectly.
Made on a shoestring budget, the film is being distributed by Oscilloscope Laboratories and will be released in the Us on 5th August this year. Unfortunately, no word yet on a UK release date, but I’m really hoping it will come to us too.
Bellflower is written and directed by Evan Glodell, who makes his writing, directing, and acting debut with this film, and also stars Jessie Wiseman, Tyler Dawson, Rebekah Brandes, and Vincent Grashaw, all unknowns. The film was well received by critics at its Sundance premiere back in January despite its low budget and unknown cast, and watching the trailer (which you can, and should, watch here), it’s not hard to imagine why.

A Love Story With Apocalyptic Stakes. Take a look at this massively explosive new poster for Evan Glodell's crazy indie flick Bellflower, as debuted originally by HitFix. In case anyone forgot, Bellflower is that gritty, apocalyptic romance indie, starring Evan Glodell and Jessie Wiseman from Sundance, and you can see the theatrical trailer here. I have a feeling they asked a designer for a poster that encompassed all elements of the film: indie romance, apocalyptic visions, that effin' Medusa car (which is really marketing) - and bam, here's the poster they whipped up. Check it out below in full and don't forget this comes out in a few weeks. Two friends spend all their free time building flame-throwers and weapons of mass destruction in hopes that a global apocalypse might occur and clear the runways for their imaginary gang, "Mother Medusa."

Bellflower
Directed by: Evan Glodell
Starring: Evan Glodell, Tyler Dawson, Jessie Wiseman
Rating: R
Release Date: August 5, 2011
Trailer Score: 8/10
Thoughts by Tsr: The trailer Bellflower is the closest to art cinema I’ve seen in recent years. It’s completely spellbinding. Although the acting comes off as a little flat when the lines are delivered, Bellflower plays to its strengths with this trailer by giving us plenty of visual elements and plenty of visceral material.
If you really think about it, the story of a guy losing it over the woman he loves is nothing too original. We see it in our TV, we hear it in our music, and we even see it in the lives of those around us. In that sense, Bellflower leaves something to be desired, but it quickly becomes clear that this movie isn’t about the story. It seems like it’s more about...

What a rarity and what a pleasure to set eyes upon a truly original American indie. Bellflower, which had its premiere earlier this year at Sundance, marks the debut of a unique, strong voice in the form of director Evan Glodell and his cadre of presumably insane crewmembers. It can truly be said that Bellflower is not quite like anything else, but this must be said with a caveat: though the film is jolting in its oddness, it also speaks to something pervasive and undeniable in the modern age.
The story concerns two best friends Woodrow (played with convincing sincerity by Glodell) and Aiden (Tyler Dawson) and their complete lack of an actual, adult life. Though seemingly somewhere in their late twenties, the men apparently have no jobs, no real prospects, and no intention of acquiring either in the near future. Instead, they largely spend their time drinking in their...

But when Woodrow meets a charismatic young woman and falls hard in love, he and Aiden quickly integrate into a new group of friends, setting off on a journey of love and hate, betrayal, infidelity and extreme violence more devastating and fiery than any of their apocalyptic fantasies.

Poorly titled, much buzzed about indie film, Bellflower has finally released a proper trailer, giving us an intriguing peek at its tone and style. I'm not usually one for those critic quotes thrown over the top of footage, but between those blips, a real moodiness comes through. The filmmaker and the actors are novices, the budget was shoestring, the camera homemade; this film is a true original and by most accounts, a wild ride with great visuals and shocking, violent twists. The trailer pays homage to Mad Max (the two main characters are huge fans of Lord Humungous), has a a bit of a Blue Valentine vibe and leaves you with a growing sense that something really bad is going to happen.
Here's the official synopsis:

The Bellflower Trailer has premiered. Evan Glodell‘s Bellflower (2011) movie trailer stars Evan Glodell, Tyler Dawson, Jessie Wiseman, Vincent Grashaw, and Keghan Hurst.

But when Woodrow meets a charismatic young woman and falls hard in love, he and Aiden quickly integrate into a new group of friends, setting off on a journey of love and hate, betrayal, infidelity and extreme violence more devastating and fiery than any of their apocalyptic fantasies.”

An official theatrical trailer for cult favorite indie flick Bellflower has hit the web courtesy of IMDb, with an embed below from Twitch. Before this, we've only featured the teaser trailer which had nothing but their post-apocalyptic car named Medusa, which barely plays a part in the film anyway. Starring Evan Glodell, Tyler Dawson and Jessie Wiseman, the film follows two friends as they venture out into the world to begin their adult lives. This trailer really makes the film look great, and they're obviously focusing on those quotes about it, but I'm still not that into it after seeing it at Sundance.
