In Attitude, Michael Disend stars as Spoddy, a small-time car thief and master auto mechanic, who hates cars and harbors contempt for most people, especially the losers of this world.

"For my role in Attitude, Rob [Nilsson] presented a brief character sketch of Spoddy. He used the name of the main character from my novel [Stomping the Goyim] , which functioned as a profound suggestive device and impacted my performance tremendously." said Disend.

Attitude played in New york city in May at the Two Boots Pioneer Theater, [155 E. Third Street (at Avenue A)]. The reviews were good!

Michael Disend also presented Attitude at the International Film Festival in Hong Kong in April, 2003 along with director, Rob Nilsson. And Attitude was invited to the Mill Valley Film Festival in October, 2003. Ticket line: (925) 866-9559.
