ST. PETERSBURG, FLORIDA - The director of Rockets Redglare!, a Steve Buscemi
produced documentary which screened at Sundance in 2003 featuring Mr. Buscemi,
Willem Dafoe, Jim Jarmusch and Matt Dillon, announced today he has filed a $1.75
million lawsuit in Federal Court against the film's primary distributor.


Luis Fernandez de la Reguera charges that Michael Broder DBA Small Planet Pictures
and Undecided Films, based in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, is in breach of contract,
failed to pay advance fees and royalties, distributed the film illegally outside of
North America, and did not honor marketing commitments. Entertainment lawyer J.
Christopher Robbins is handling this case.

In a two-count federal lawsuit, the film's owners allege that Small Planet
Pictures,Undecided Films and its owner, Michael Broder, "obtained gains, profits,
and advantages as a result of his wrongful acts." They seek a court order
preventing further unlawful distribution of the film, dissolution of the contract,
and damages.
