FAQs
CLUTCH: The car movie made on a bartender's budget.
- Is CLUTCH truly a grass roots independent film?
- Yes! The project budgeted out to $5.3 million but that didn't stop Jay Rowlands. Seven days a week for 10 solid years he worked his ass off, hustled, put himself into debt, starved, fought, networked, got favors from family, friends, local gearheads, world renowned automotive performance companies and experienced a plethora of other things you could write a book about.
- Is the movie done yet?
- CLUTCH is complete. The final “locked” picture edit is done, all the sound design is done, the surround sound mix is done, titles and credits have been created and placed. The film must go through regular industry processes consisting of the best light telecine to Hi-Def, conforming, final color correction and one more day in the sound studio for a final pass on the sound mix prior to being released.
- When's the movie going to be released?
- Renegade Productions is in the process of securing worldwide distribution for CLUTCH. As soon as the information on the movie's release can be made public we will blast the info all over the place. That includes this website and Facebook.
- Was CLUTCH shot on film?
- YES. CLUTCH the movie was shot on color film (16mm) to achieve it's stylistic retro look and feel with superior picture quality. A tribute to the car films of yesteryear. Shooting on film is a more expensive, labor intensive process than many of the digital “films” that have flooded the market in recent years.
- Will CLUTCH be in theaters?
- The plan for CLUTCH is direct to DVD release so you can purchase your very own copy. However; with distribution studios/ companies interests there may be special theater screenings and cable tv airing.
- How long is CLUTCH?
- 101 minutes total running time including titles and credits. (Full Feature).
- Will the DVD have a Directors Commentary?
- Yes. Directors commentary with Director Jay Rowlands joined by Dylan Frombach. Plus additional extras on the DVD including outtakes, bonus car racing footage and more!
