Episode Description from the Publisher

Dan Mirvish, co-founder of Slamdance, comes on to talk about the unmade film that haunted him for years. Stamp & Deliver was a darkly comic postal western — think No Country for Old Men meets Office Space — and it got closer than most. Sets were built in Austin. Brittany Murphy auditioned. Ed Asner and Peter Fonda were in. Neil Young was going to produce and score it. Then 9/11 happened.We go through the whole story, run the original script through our AI pipeline, and give Stamp & Deliver the trailer it never got and still deserves. Our film executive Meredith also stops by with notes — and sounds exactly like every development meeting you've ever sat through.If you love indie film, hollywood stories, development hell, and the ones that got away — this one's for you.https://linktr.ee/atomicfonduehttps://substack.com/@danmirvishhttps://www.danmirvish.com/Stamp-Delivernext film, Atomic Fondue (still raising money!)https://www.danmirvish.com/Atomic-Fondue"Go to https://filmsnotmade.com/ for info on the show, transcripts and more.Follow the show on https://www.youtube.com/@FilmsNotMadeSubscribe to our https://substack.com/@filmsnotmade#FilmsNotMade #UnmadeFilms #DevelopmentHell #StampAndDeliver #PostalWestern #Slamdance #IndieFilmHistory #DanMirvish #IndieFilm #IndependentFilm #FilmHistory #AIFilmmaking #GenerativeAI #AITrailer#FilmPodcast #HollywoodStories #Screenwriting #MakingMovies #MovieTrailer
