Naked Zellner = Golden Ticket
A new promotional contest for 'Beeswax' involves David Zellner's derriere plus free pie. Intrigued?

Andrew Bujalski's Beeswax is worth owning on its own considerable merits, of course, but the upcoming Cinema Guild DVD release totally sweetens the deal by offering DVD buyers the shot at a pie date with someone from the cast and crew. Hold on – it gets weirder. But good weird.
Each DVD comes with a commemorative 16mm strip of film (from an original lab print), and one – only one! – of those strips will be of Beeswax costar (and Austin filmmaker) David Zellner with dropped trou. If you luck into that very special strip (badabing!), then you can send photographic evidence to the filmmakers, thereby earning you a slice-of-pie date with whichever member of the far-flung cast and crew resides geographically closest to you.
DVDs go on sale April 6. Wanna learn more about the contest? Or follow the shenanigans on Facebook? You can do so right here.
