Mumblecore What!


So I recently sent out a bunch of screeners to people I felt would give constructive, solid feedback. 2 of them came back with a term I am now just learning about...mumblecore. I'm still not quite sure what it means and I encourage anyone and everyone to educate me. Supposedly films such as Hannah Takes the Stairs, Puffy Chair, Four Eyed Monster, and Quiet City (all films I think that are putting the indie back into independent.) are mumblecore, yet no one has been able to effectively explain this term to me. My film was made for next to nothing, with a few people, and all of the dialoge is improvised...is that mumblecore? OR is this just another label like DIY or idie?

Only three weeks till the film is available for download on the website Oct. 5th

Cheers
John
