HOLLISTON REUNION & RADIO PLAY!

In their first public appearance together as a cast since suffering the tragic loss of Dave Brockie and the closing of the FEARnet cable television network, HOLLISTON’s core ensemble (Green, Lynch, Ortiz, and English) reunite on an all new episode of THE MOVIE CRYPT PODCAST to discuss what they’ve each been up to during the series’ indefinite hiatus as well as where things currently stand with Season 3 and more.   Never before has the cast of a TV show revealed this kind of honest insight while still in the midst of reeling from such heartbreaking loss and while still facing so many unknown variables for their show’s future.   So whether you’re an avid fan of HOLLISTON, someone trying to navigate the entertainment business with your own television project, or just someone interested in how and why things work they way they do behind the scenes… take note and draw your own inspiration from this exceptionally candid, funny, and touching episode.  Adam, Joe, Laura, Corri, and “Axl the cat” also round out this special episode with a surprise for fans in the Holliston Nation… a NEW mini-episode of HOLLISTON performed as a radio play!  Listen on iTunes or directly on Geek Nation by clicking here.  The episode will be available (for FREE) starting at 10am PST on Monday December 15th.

“Where the f@#k is my Movie Crypt T-shirt?”

“Where the f@#k is my Movie Crypt T-shirt?”  The shirts are coming soon- just taking longer than originally projected, and for that we apologize.  After waiting several weeks longer than originally promised for the shirts to be delivered to us, when the shirts finally did arrive late last week the shirts weren’t up to our standards- especially given how expensive they were to print per shirt with the photo-logo on the front and how expensive they were for you to purchase because of that.  In short, the front looked like a cheap iron-on and many of the shirts didn’t even have the logo printed on them straight.  As you can imagine, it’s a nightmare for us on par with spending a night in Victor Crowley’s swamp.  We’ve fired the printing service who made this mistake and are having the shirts re-done elsewhere under a rushed order.  We’re not waiting to have our own money refunded before paying to get a new run of shirts re-printed as that could take weeks and weeks of back and forth with the original printer.  We’ll worry about that on our own time and are paying to have new shirts made immediately while we wait for things to get sorted out on the original printer’s end.  If you’ve ordered from us before, you know this is highly unusual.  Even though we’re not a major retail store (our focus is on making movies and TV shows- our merchandise side of things is an extremely boutique service and a novelty that our fans appreciate us providing) we do take pride in always delivering high quality product and in typically shipping orders out within only a few days of receiving them even though the site says to allow up to 3 weeks.  So please know that we’re on it.  Especially given how expensive the shirts are to manufacture and to purchase, we just couldn’t send out what the printer delivered to us as they were not good enough for our loyal fans who take the time and money to support what we do.  For now we’ve changed the Movie Crypt shirt listing to say “sold out” so that we can get your orders taken care of first.  They’ll go back up for sale only after we have received the shirts that you have already ordered and we see that they are up to our standards.  Thank you for your patience and understanding.  We expect to have the shirts in stock and shipping out the first week of December as our new printer has told us the shirts will have arrived by then.

DIGGING UP THE MARROW ACQUIRED FOR U.S. DISTRIBUTION

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 27, 2014 – Image Entertainment, an RLJ Entertainment (NASDAQ: RLJE) brand, has acquired all U.S. rights to the highly anticipated fantasy film DIGGING UP THE MARROW.  Starring, written and directed by Adam Green and inspired by the artwork of artist Alex Pardee, the film stars Ray Wise (Twin Peaks, X-Men First Class), Will Barratt (Frozen), and a roster full of horror genre favorites and iconic artists all appearing as themselves.  Mark Ward, RLJ Entertainment’s Senior Vice President of Acquisitions for the Image brands made the announcement today.

“We’ve had a long, productive working relationship with Adam Green and we are extremely excited to continue to work with him on this film,” said Ward.  “Adam brings an uncanny point-of-view to filmmaking and DIGGING UP THE MARROW is one that fans of genre films will certainly rally around.”

When filmmaker Adam Green receives a package from a strange man (Ray Wise) claiming he can prove that monsters exist, he and his crew are taken on a mysterious, fantastical, and terrifying journey into the shadows deep down under the ground below our feet. DIGGING UP THE MARROW is a documentary-style film that blends reality with fantasy in a way that will leave even the most hardcore skeptics believing in the existence of monsters.  

DIGGING UP THE MARROW is the result of an incredibly rewarding four-year creative collaboration,” said Green.   “It’s a very unique film that doesn’t neatly fit into any specific sub-genre that has come before it.  We’ve been thrilled by the overwhelmingly positive response that MARROW has received at early screenings.”

The monsters in the film are vividly brought to life by visionary American Artist and Trans-Media-Artistry Pioneer, Alex Pardee.  Pardee has showcased his fine art in galleries around the world; acted as an art director for numerous bands (including ‘The Used’ and I’n Flames’); worked with film directors such as Quentin Tarantino and Edgar Wright on art-based-marketing campaigns; and provided extensive artwork for director Zack Snyder’s “Sucker Punch.  In 2007, Alex co-founded “ZEROFRIENDS,” an art and apparel company that he is currently the Creative Director of.

Under Green’s ArieScope Pictures, the film was produced by Cory Neal and was financed by Neal and Andrew Mysko’s Hacienda Film Co.

Kaleidoscope Film Distribution is handling international sales outside of North America, and will be premiering the feature at AFM.
