Death Takes ANOTHER Prize and MORE Festivals!

Wow! I didn’t even know Death in Charge screened at the Amsterdam Film Festival, but congrats to our D.P. Adam Honzl because I just learned we won the Van Gogh Award in World Cinema Cinematography bringing us to a grand total of 18 awards and 92 official fest selections – not too shabby. I also just learned that trippin‘ will screen at the FrightNight and Broad Humor Film Fests as well. Roger Corman’s the featured guest of honor at the former, so hopefully we’ll be able to attend.

Fortunately, I had good incentive to drag myself out of bed. Agustin got us invited to this fancy dim sum party at the Hong Kong Pavilion. Read the rest of this entry »

So, Killingboxx just reviewed I Spit on Eli Roth HERE with some truly inspired alliteration and a call for us to target Michael Bay next – my kind of mission (especially after that blasphemous New Nightmare insult) Thanks, Will – truly inspired (and entertaining as hell) writing!
