What a headline. Lots of DEADGIRL news out there, so it's time for another quick update.
Even though I wrote the dang thing, I still get most of my DEADGIRL news from the web. And a few stories have come out ...
We're having our FINAL festival screenings at the Seattle International Film Festival in a few weeks. The film's screening three times as part of their Midnight Adrenaline selection. Follow the link for more info:

As I announced in the last posting, DEADGIRL comes out on DVD in the United Kingdom on June 8, 2009. Wanna see the British box art?
DEADGIRL UK Release information
The German DVD release date for DEADGIRL hasn't been made public yet ... but we failed to secure an FSK18 rating over there, which is kind of like getting an NC-17 over here. This means that retailers won't be able to put the movie out in most retail and rental outlets. Not only that, but the distributor can't really advertise the movie anywhere, either. Interestingly, the German ratings board said that there was nothing we could cut out of the movie to make it have a lower rating ... basically, the "overall tone" was too disturbing ... Wow. All from the country that made the term "Sheisse Porn" a household word (well, in my household, anyway).
But who cares about that, anyway? Most of you who visit the site are friends of mine and relatives and 99% live here in the US. That said, we got some news, too.
First up, this news article on Fangoria.com broke the news (to me and everyone else) that the US DVD release date (from Dark Sky Films) is September 15th, 2009. But don't just take my word for it:

Then a day later, Bloody-Disgusting.com put out a story about DEADGIRL's limited theatrical release in July. I hear that New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago are definitely in the mix and that there will probably be a handful of other cities as well. I'll post more about this as the date nears, but here's a link to the article:
DEADGIRL's Theatrical Release Story
Also, the UK distributor put up the new trailer on YouTube. For those of you who haven't seen it yet, here it is:
In non-DEADGIRL news, Chad Ferrin's SOMEONE'S KNOCKING AT THE DOOR is having its US Premiere at San Francisco's ANOTHER HOLE IN THE HEAD Festival in the first week of June. And it's playing at the very same theater that DEADGIRL played in a few months back at the San Francisco Independent Film Festival!
SOMEONE'S KNOCKING AT THE DOOR US Premiere Information
That's all I've got for now. There are several new things that I'm trying to make happen but - as usual - nothing that I can announce right now. Maybe next time ...
