Killage wins Crystal Palace Best in Festival

The Killage is going to the UK… again!
The Killage has been accepted into the Crystal Palace International Film Festival in London!
Here is some information about the festival:
MISSION & OBJECTIVE
The Crystal Palace International Film festival is an event designed to showcase independent films and film talent from around the world in a number of genres, formats and lengths. Winners receive a bespoke ‘Transmitter’ award and relevant films may be submitted to the BBC, Channel 4 and/or other UK TV channels for consideration, via Harlequin Productions’ online submission account – the film maker’s agreement will be sought first. This ensures the films will be received and watched by the correct commissioning people at the channels and given the consideration they deserve – not an easy task!
ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
The CPIFF is a festival organised by Harlequin Productions aiming to promote independent film makers from all over the world. The 2010 festival was a great success, very well attended and very well received.
The Festival provides opportunities for independent film makers to have their films screened at selected venues around Crystal Palace in London to a passionate audience of film professionals, journalists and the general public and to win a best in category ‘Transmitter’ award. Furthermore, any films judged to be applicable could be submitted by Harlequin Productions to the BBC, Channel 4 and/or other UK TV channels for consideration, via their online submission account – the film maker’s agreement will be sought first.
There are 10 Transmitter awards presented at the Festival; the winners are chosen by a prestigious panel of judges including Johnny Vegas, the famous comedian, writer and producer; Mark Steel, comedian and author; Quentin Miles, animation director at Cinesite.com.
Crystal Palace is also simply one of the coolest places in London as well as one of the most beautiful. Aptly the very first colour TV transmissions were sent from here by John Logie Baird who invented TV and the BBC still broadcast from the 2 large transmitters clearly visible for miles.

The Killage is going to the UK!
“The Killage” has just been accepted into the Bram Stoker International Film Festival! (Wait til they discover it’s actually a werewolf movie…) Ignore that last joke.
Here’s the festival’s MISSION OBJECTIVE:
The Bram Stoker International will feature a diverse selection of feature film premieres and innovative short films on the cutting edge, including acclaimed new independent and international horror, sci-fi, fantasy, action, animation, and offbeat works from across the UK, North America, Europe and Asia. [and evidently Australia as well.]
Each year, the Bram Stoker International Film Festival will strive to:
1 – Showcase innovative, independent and international thrilling films, in front of audiences that would otherwise never get to see these works in a theatrical setting.
2 – Encourage and support homegrown genre filmmakers with a dedicated program of emerging UK talent.
Even though they don’t acknowledge the existence of our continent, you’ve got to love the Brits! So make sure you book your tickets to Whitby, England so you don’t miss the UK premiere of the offbeat independent comedy/horror… THE KILLAGE!
