ec. 3) -- Most filmmakers wouldn't want to be told their films put people to sleep, but it's a compliment to director Sondra Lowell.
In fact, putting people to sleep is her goal as the self-proclaimed inventor of a new genre she calls "film sleepy."
Lowell has made two such films thus far. The first, "WebcamMurder.com," is mostly shots of people sitting around in front of webcams 24/7, wondering how to get Web surfers to tune in on their uneventful lives. "It sounds a lot more excited than it is," she told AOL News.
The second is "Sublime Crime: A Subliminal Mystery," and Lowell claims it is the first entirely subliminal mystery in history.
"It is a big step forward in movies worth sleeping through," she said. "It is mostly a blank screen with flashes of plot and personal growth affirmations, accompanied by an unintelligible binaural soundtrack."
So far, the critics are in agreement with Lowell about the quality of her work. For instance, the Los Angeles Times called WebcamMurder.com "the most boring talkie ever made," and the reviews for "Sublime Crime" have been just as positive.
