DATE POSTED: 30 JUNE 2009

‘Shadows’ is in the special effects and editing phases. Four focus groups were held; 2 were in Los Angeles & 2 were in Austin. These groups were attended by participants spanning a wide range of ages, from 15-70. We were happily surprised by an 85% approval rating. In the next few weeks we will be working on some re-shoots and small additions to the film in Los Angeles.

There is a buzz in the industry right now about this film. Our distributor, Arclight, is excited about the pre-sales as we look forward to the Toronto Film Festival and the studio screenings which will begin the bidding war we expect from the major studios. Understand that the need for film content right now by the majors is intense, mainly due to their difficulty in finding bank money to produce the larger films in the $50-100 million range. As reported by Kiplinger, the majors are are desperate for films. Theaters are making the most money right now and films are offering the best returns if they are produced in a slate of films as we are doing. The bottom line is that this is an exceptional time and we are all excited as you should be.
