Shameless plug.
I'll admit that I wrote the director to encourage him to get his movie on the iTunes store. I also told him he should introduce himself and his movie on the forum, but he wrote back to me that would be like bragging and asked me to start the post for him. It was all out of humility on his part, it wasn't contrived. It just looked that way, after the fact. I actually thoroughly enjoyed the movie and wanted him to get it on the iTunes store for my collection and promote it on here just because I wanted people to know about it. You should use it as an opportunity to ask him questions about the movie, because I believe he is still following this post.
