No word on the release date, but it could be as soon as later this year. Noah Falstein

An uncut version was shown (so the rumor goes) on the west coast by Jittlov at some unknown event (anybody out there see it?). It's not really full length - 33 minutes is a long time for this sort of film though. There IS a poster for the film (this is not open to debate - I've got one) and the rest of this info comes from the dealer who was selling them. The best part of the tale goes that the opening sequence of this film has more effects than all of Star Wars did! Any bankers on this net? Ken Lorber kl2427@wucec2

But since he is one of those people like to do the *whole* thing themselves, it may be sometime yet. He wrote the script, he is the producer, director, star, special effects man, and film editor! And several more jobs as well. Mind you, this does not mean it will ever come out, just that it is still being worked on. -- Sarima (Stanley Friesen) UUCP: {ttidca|ihnp4|sdcrdcf|quad1|nrcvax|bellcore|logico}!psivax!friesen ARPA: ttidca!psivax!friesen@rand-unix.arpa

It was at the San Diego Comic Convention, and no, I didn't see it (sound of head banging against wall). He used to run a semi-annual Mike Jittlov film festival at each SD con. Great stuff, but WIZARD OF TIME AND SPEED is the best. I'm still trying to figure out how he made the Wizard run through traffic at high speed while the cars look like they are moving normally (no jerkiness or stop-action effect). Maybe that guy *is* a Wizard! "I SAID I LOVE ALL MANKIND *DAMMIT*!!"
