Pete Schwaba is ready to do it on his own.
The co-writer of the 2003 MGM comedy “A Guy Thing” has fielded theatrical distribution offers for his directorial debut “The Godfather of Green Bay,” but “none of the offers we’ve gotten have been satisfactory,” Schwaba said.
“It’s all been two weeks in New York, two weeks in L.A., then straight to video, and they haven’t been willing to spend enough on advertising. I’ve seen how well it plays in front of an audience. And in the Midwest it plays especially well.”
“The Godfather of Green Bay” has its local premiere Nov. 1 at the Midwest Independent Film Festival.
