FTA: A phone app (free TheaterEars app, available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play) lets audiences stream a directors’ commentary track straight to their earbuds during the film.

I saw it last night and must confess that it can be confusing to some people.

But isn’t this the worst thing in filmmaking? If you have to explain your film to me you have failed as a filmmaker (just repeating something I’ve heard a fictional film school professor say)

For my part if I start a movie and it begins with expository voice-over, I stop watching immediately.


Lot of film/scifi nerds like the director's commentary track on DVDs. The tracks can add a lot of background to the scenes.
