WHY YOUR VOTE FOR FILM SLEEPY INC IS A VOTE FOR
THE AMERICAN (or whatever country you're from) WAY

Film Sleepy Inc is the first independent production company to make movies that put the audience to sleep on purpose.

StartupNation named Film Sleepy the Fourth Most Slacker Friendly Home Business of 2007, testifying to the effectiveness of our first feature, WebcamMurder.com, about lifecasters who stream their uneventful lives 24/7 on webcams. At first audiences were stunned to watch a movie with so little going on. Then they fell asleep.

Sleep deprivation is one of the fastest growing afflictions of our always on-call/always on-alert society, and WebcamMurder.com has proved to be among the most potent non-chemical solutions on the market.

We could have rested on our laurels, but we are ever on the lookout for ways to improve our products and serve our customers. Thus, we are about to unveil our second Film Sleepy, Sublime Crime: A Subliminal Mystery.

The first entirely subliminal feature film, Sublime Crime is designed not only to put audiences to sleep, but also to improve their self-confidence while they slumber. Thus, flashes of plot alternate with flashes of positive affirmations, like "I am very self-confident" and "I love this movie and will buy copies for everyone I know."

Most of the movie consists of a blank screen and an unintelligible binaural soundtrack sure to lead to levels of health, wealth and sleepiness filmgoers have heretofore only...dreamed of.

[NOTE: Don't worry about the excitingness of the scene in our profile photo. It is clip art and me, like the rest of the movie, and only fills the screen for a moment.]

Although Film Sleepy Inc could keep our methods to ourselves and dominate the Film Sleepy genre by default, we welcome competition that will push us to reach new heights. With this in mind, we have made available an Amazon Short ebook, How to Make a Movie That Puts the Audience to Sleep: A Home Study Course.

The WebcamMurder.com website tells more about our first film.
