FANS!! We have been accepted into another film festival!!! (Scroll all down their website page!)

http://www.jaha.org/FilmFestival/Thursday2009.html 

The 2009 Johnstown Film & Wine Festival is a competition of short films. Now preparing for its fourth year, the popular event will be held on July 8-11, 2009. 
   

Thursday, July 9, 2009 - On Thursday night, we have 13 movies that had to be shown together, as they all have a common thread -- "horror". These films run the gamut, telling tales of unholy abominations from hell, the end of the world, obsessive love, demented preachers, vampires, werewolves, and of course, that western Pennsylvania favorite, zombies. We've got it all, truly scary and mock-horror too. So come out and bring your friends (or anyone whose hand you can hold when it's dark, walking to your car....)

This screening will take place at the Johnstown Flood Museum; doors open at 6:30, and the films begin at 7:00. Tickets are $5 and are available at the door.

Thanks,

Tom

Michael Teoli was one of the composers on "LOTR 3" and was not hesitant in getting his schedule cleared up to do the music for this film. In an interview with him early on, he felt the script was so visual and powerful, he wanted to the music to not only be done, but done right.

Amid getting engaged and working through his orchestral "mayhem", he was able to compose a theatrical and Hollywood standards worthy original film and music score.

This short film project refects talent at its best in front and behind the scenes as well as ushers in a new breed of Hollywood style shorts films other than past Hollywood stylized short films that have attempted this same work-flow ideology: Alex Ferrari's "Broken", and Charles Yi's "The Return", as well as many other good short films in the past...

Please go to his Michael Teoli's myspace page and drop him a line!!
