Kolme ystävystä, Mick, Lenny ja Sarah saavat käsiinsä teknologian, jolla he voivat lähettää puhelinsignaalin kuuden tunnin päähän menneisyyteen. He päättävät rikastua keksinnön turvin, mutta asiat menevät pahasti pieleen... 35 000$ budjetin palkittu esikoiselokuva Teo Konuralpilta.

"This baby just looks plain slick. Some gorgeous cinematography blended with a thumping electronica and industrial soundtrack that makes for one hell of a cool indie flick. Every shot feels perfectly crafted. Every piece of music drives the images deeper into your skull." - Ain't it Cool News
"What transpires is too neck-snappingly complicated to relate here, but it's a testament to Konuralp's skills as a scenarist that "Feedback" always seems to make perfectly logical sense, on its own terms. The actors all do affecting work, imbuing the story with legitimate emotion, and Ted Andre contributes a pulsing techno score to top it off." - Film Threat

Sähköpostit kirjoittaja/ohjaaja/leikkaaja/tuottaja Teo Konuralpilta:

23.4.2002: Hi Atso, Thank you for the interest. There was a trailer that was up on the site during the Sundance Film Festival but I had to take it down because one of the songs in the trailer is not cleared. Here is a link however to the trailer on a different site that is not public. i hope you enjoy it, let me know what you think. As far as you seeing the film, I am close to signing a deal with a foreign sales rep. so you might be able to catch Feedback within the year. Best, -Teo

23.4.2002: Hi Atso, Sorry , I forgot to include the link, here it is: http://www.interstatefilms.com/feedback/

13.4.2003: Hi Atso, I'm very sorry for the delay in responding to you, there is no excuse. So, about Feedback, the latest is that I have signed with the foreign sales agent, their name is "The Asylum", they have sold the film to several foreign markets. To Thailand, Malaysia and Greece and to some other territories. I have not received the latest report yet so I don't know which countries their latest sales were to. Maybe Finland, I don't know. Domestically I have sold the video rights to Bedford Entertainment. They are going to release the film some time in late June or July. I could send you a DVD when they release it but it would be in NTSC and I'm pretty sure that Finland is PAL, so that might do us any good. The next target domestically is a deal with cable network Showtime. My Sales reps. here say is a done deal, but I'll believe it when I see it. A company that is based out of Sony Studios saw my film and liked it so much that they want to see another screenplay of mine. I'm in the process of finishing it and they will have it on their desk in 2 weeks. The company is Konrad Films, they are currently releasing the film "Identity".

They also have other major releases to their credit like the 3 "Scream" movies and Oscar winning film "Girl Interrupted". So that is very good news. But it is all in the talk stages and nothing is etched in stone, but I have high hopes that something is going to happen very soon. The other thing I am working on is the TV version of Feedback, a 1 hour weekly series. A TV producer that I am working with is pitching it to TV networks, and another Producer is interested in doing part 2 of Feedback on a larger scale. So all in all I am very happy about the way things are unfolding. Thank you for your interest, I hope I can hook you up with a copy of the film soon. As soon as I here back from "The Asylum" on what the new territories are I'll know what the situation on PAL DVDs for Feedback is going to be. I just hope that you won't be disappointed after waiting so long to see it. Again, I apologize for the long delay. Best, - Teo [Atso huom.: kyseinen vastaus saapui viikon sisään oman sähköpostini lähetyksestä, ei varsinaisesti kovin pitkä aika...]

9.6.2003: Hi Atso, I just wanted to give you an update. The release date for Feedback here in the states is Sept. 23. 03. I'm currently working on the directors commentary for the DVD. So as soon as I have my fingers on the DVDs I'll send you a copy. Best, -Teo

30.9.2003: Hi Atso, As soon as I can get my hands on the DVDs I will send you a signed copy. You have been waiting a long time to see this film, I just can't imagine that it will fulfill your expectations. Every time I go into a movie expecting it to be good I am a little disappointed and when I expect nothing I am pleasantly surprised. So I hope you can keep your expectations down a little so you can enjoy the film a little more. Thanks for all the support. -Teo

17.10.2003: Hi Atso, I finally got the DVDs and want to send you a copy right away. However I accidentally deleted the e-mail with your latest address. You also mentioned for me to sign the DVD, where exactly do you want me to sign it? Let me know. -Teo

27.10.2003: Hi Atso, One final thing I need is a phone number to put on the Fedex slip. I'm sorry that I haven't been able to send it out yet, but as soon as you get a number for me I'll send it off via Fedex and it should get to you very quickly. -Teo

28.10.2003: Hi Atso, I just sent it off via Federal Express, the tracking number is (blatantly censored by Atso). Let me know when you get it. -Teo

4.11.2003: Hi Atso, I'm glad you liked it, thank you for the kind words you had for the for the film and my future as a director. You can e-mail me questions any time. As far as the directors commentary is concerned, the window of opportunity that I had for making the commentary was short and during that time I was very unlucky and got sick and lost my voice. I hope that I'll get another opportunity when I re-release the film sometime in the future. Could I ask a favor of you Atso, Feedback is listed on Imdb.com, could you write a quick review for Feedback on Imdb, I'd really appreciate it. Also, what is the web address for the publication that you write for? Do you write in English or Finnish? Anyway, thanks again, it is such a good feeling to have this kind of support, I can't thank you enough. Best, -Teo
