Lovely By Surprise is an American film made in 2006.
[edit] Overview
The movie, directed by Kirt Gunn, is notable for several reasons:
- Prior to its release as a full-length feature film, segments of the film were broadcast online in several "webisodes".
- The movie is also notable that it is essentially half of a story; it is significantly related in narrative to the movie The Neverything, which was also shown on the web.
- The production, promotion and release of the film is significantly tied to commerical promotion; "Lovely By Surprise" was made under the provision of Lincoln, a division of Ford Motor Company, and Mercury is using its broadcast of the "webisodes" as an alternative to traditional marketing channels.
