Anthem Pictures to Distribute
Bloodshed in the U.S.

Holy crap it's been a while since I last posted! Sorry for that, hopefully there are a few of you out there who still keep up with this. In my experience, if a blogger doesn't keep up a near-constant stream of communication, they won't be read. Damn.

The most exciting news of all is that we've just signed a deal for domestic distribution!!! Anthem Pictures will be releasing the pic on DVD and PPV starting in November (actual street date pending). It's been a looooooong road, but slowly but surely everything's coming together. BIG UPS to my producer's rep Lawrence Silverstein over at Strategic Film Partners for setting this up!

Spotlight Pictures, my foreign sales company, has sold 2 territories at this time: UK (Third Millennium) and Germany (Atomik Films). We're hoping for more action in the foreign markets once the DVD hits the shelves domestically.

We also have a few new reviews:
Lee Bailes at Rumour Machine
Staci Wilson at About.com
(Check out all Bloodshed reviews by following the sidebar links)

Once we have access to the official domestic DVD packaging, I'll send out a copy to everyone who worked on the film, and I'll definitely keep you all posted as we find out release dates for the domestic and foreign territories.

As always, thanks for everyone's help!
