- Abstract:
- Postcard advertising the movie "The Independent." "The Independent is a mockumentary comedy film made in 2000, directed by Stephen Kessler and starring Jerry Stiller and Janeane Garofalo. Stiller portrays an independent film maker who makes little-known B movies with titles like Twelve Angry Men and a Baby. The film spoofs independent directors and independent film.... The fictional career of Morty Fineman (Stiller) includes having made 427 films." -- Internet Movie Database. Postcard features a colorful, psychadelic-style illustration of a giant mushroom with multicolored waves or clouds eminating from the mushroom's cap, and multicolored circles eminating downward or upward from the bottom of the mushroom's stem. In the center of the mushroom is a sign that reads, "lsd-day" on a color gradient. "LSD day" is one of the 427 films created by the movie's protagonist, Morty Fineman, which it is said on the postcard verso to have been produced in 1971.
