The Gym Instructor

http://www.thecollectivedvd.com/

Horst Jorgner QC, well known German Intellectual Property lawyer and sometime film producer, releases the first clip from his comedy skit show, The Collective Season One.

Mr Jorgner acquired the rights to distribute the television pilot under a section of the now infamous Hoppflingers Law from a group of filmmakers he represented in a moral rights case in early 2008. In this clip, a rather passionate personal trainer takes a young new client through his rather unique training routine. Mr Jorgner claims that the character of the personal trainer was based on his own overzealous instructor and to whom he attributes his current "outstanding physique".

Next week, the vaults of Jorgner Films will open to reveal a sneak peak of the works of his good friend and director, Krystofe Svez Jr, a man who Jorgner claims is the greatest film director since Ed Wood. Svez is reportedly now based in Australia, lured by the Australian Government's generous Producer Offset which gives a 40% rebate to films with a qualifying eligible expenditure (or QAPE) of over $1 million dollars to those films that pass a SAC test (Significant Australian Content). Despite Svez not being a native born Australian he does claim to have "a very big SAC" and is currently mounting a campaign to have his latest film, Schindlers Fist II: The Search for my watch, entered into the AFI Awards, the Australian equivalent of the Academy Awards.

The Collective DVD is now available to buy at http://www.thecollectivedvd.com/. Jorgner claims it is "funnier than Auschwitz".
