    Festival News!

    Hello, backers, friends and family alike! I've got some good festival news for all of you!

    First, two items which are a little belated in being relayed to you:
    1. In December of last year, "Director's Cut" had its world premiere at the Holylwood Reel Independent Film Festival in Hollywood, CA.
    2. "Director's Cut" will be screening at the Litchfield Hills International Film Festival in April of 2011. We got some glowing praise from the festival founder, saying he loved the movie!
    3. Good news from the New Hope Film Festival -- we received a personal message from the Executive Director of Submissions, saying that they loved it and will be moving it into the final round of judging. Official selections are announced in late March, so stay tuned!

    Also, some more fun news: Shivnath Productions, teaming up again with indie SFX company LenZ Productions and "sister company" (using the term loosely) Moosehead Pictures, as well as many new and old faces alike, is producing a short horror film in April 2011 entitled "Amygdala".

    Information on Amygdala can be found here. It includes a short synopsis, character profiles, and of course links to all our IMDb pages and the Shivnath Productions website. I encourage everyone to check it out, it should be a blast to shoot!
