Reviews and news

Hello all,

We've had some great reviews for AUTUMN come in. Closest to our hearts are JohnnyHorror at Brutal As Hell who gave a review fit for a cult classic, http://www.brutalashell.com/2009/07/film-review-autumn/, and Rich Wolfe's concise review at ObscureHorror.com http://www.obscurehorror.com/autumn.

We also have some really good news that I just can't spill right now. But I can tell you that all of our hard work with this film is starting to pay off.

Thanks for sticking with us everybody! Please remember that AUTUMN has not been released yet and that any downloads you see on the internet or any DVDs you see in video stores are illegal copies. Not only that, they are unfinished versions of the film. We don't know how this happened, but we would appreciate if you spread the word about this. Thanks!

AUTUMN at the Roxy Theatre May 30, 2009!

Okay, we have kept it to ourselves because we were waiting for the Roxy Theatre to announce the date, and now they have! May 30, 2009 at the Roxy Theatre in Saskatoon, SK there is a special midnight showing of AUTUMN. This is the first screening in Canada so spread the word to EVERYBODY you know within driving distance! We'll keep you updated.





















For those of you who aren't able to make it, don't worry this is just the start! More news very soon!

Fancentric Distribution?

Hello All,

Thank you to those who tuned in to the interview last Sunday. If you missed it, you can catch the archive here. It is a pretty cool interview with Steven Rumbelow, the director and Dickon Tolson the actor who plays Carl. There was also a visit from David Moody halfway through.

Now, we have a few things to discuss today. AUTUMN has been a "fancentric" film from the beginning and it is our intention to carry this through in elements of distribution in the UK and Canada. So we have some questions to ask of you in Canada and the UK.

You can answer these questions either in the comments section or e-mail us at autumninfo (at) renegademotionpictures.com.

CANADA
- Would you attend a Rainbow Theatres or Magic Lantern Theatre release of AUTUMN in your area of Canada?
- Would you subscribe to The Superchannel if they aired AUTUMN?
- Would you switch cable packages if need be to see AUTUMN?

UNITED KINGDOM
- Would you be prepared to buy a DVD made specifically for the fans that included behind the scenes shout outs to the fans and every deleted scene?
- What British Television station would you see as best suited to air an indie zombie film like AUTUMN?
- Which British theatre chain do you feel to be most fun and socially relevant for a film like AUTUMN?

Thanks for your input!

Spotlight Pictures

As most of you know, by now, AUTUMN is being represented by Spotlight Pictures. Renegade chose them, out of quite a few companies who were interested, because they are incredibly cool and they get it. They understand the business and they understand the nature of AUTUMN. Renegade is extremely happy and excited about the partnership with Spotlight and we only see good things ahead. They just finished introducing us at AFM (American Film Market)in California and our next stop is the EFM (European Film Market) in Berlin in February. We had a great presence at AFM, which garnered a lot of interest and right now we are crazy, crazy busy trying to get everything delivered, and there is a lot to deliver.

The future looks incredibly good for AUTUMN but we cannot make anything public until the paperwork is signed and delivered. But there is some news we can leak, for the fans who have stuck it out with us, Steven Rumbelow is planning on putting a DVD together with extras just for the fans. This will be a limited edition DVD and only available for a certain amount of time. Steven is extremely busy getting everything together for Spotlight so that they can sell the shit out of our film, but as soon as he recovers and gets some development done for his next two films, he will be able to give me an update about the AUTUMN Fan DVD.

We appreciate that you have stuck with us. With low budget films, there is not as much money to get things delivered at a rapid pace as with bigger budget films, therefore we are forced to go a bit slower. Also, keep in mind that from start to finish, it takes the big guys about 3 to 4 years to get a film out. They take a lot of time in development and prep. We were able to start production in less than a year from beginning of development, which is extremely quick. The big guys also have their own distribution companies, so they are able to distribute it more quickly when the film is completed. Hopefully that helps put things into perspective.

Everyday we are getting closer and trust me, we are working hard to bring this to you. This has been a production that has happened with a lot of good fortune in terms of the actors we were able to get and some of the production values we were able to get and it has been a real pleasure to be part of this film. I can't wait to see the reactions from the fans.

You can see the new trailer on the Spotlight website here.

The Rumors are True

David Carradine with Steven Rumbelow(Director) on set of "Autumn"

Hello everybody. Sorry I haven't posted in a while. We have been crazy busy here in the "Autumn" world. First off, yes the rumors are true, Dexter Fletcher ("Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels") and David Carradine (Kill Bill I & II) are in the film. Dexter does an incredible job as Michael and Carradine is amazing as Philip.

I got to watch a lot of the filming and it was insane to watch Carradine at work. He is truly an artist. I have never seen him in a role like this before and I am excited to see the reaction from his fans. Dexter was incredible to have on set and he is a true professional. After seeing him as Michael, I can't imagine anybody else playing the part. He IS Michael. Also, watch out for Dickon Tolson (EastEnders), the actor who plays Carl is amazing and I wouldn't be surprised if we see a lot more of him in the future.

David Moody wrote an incredible account of his visit to the set, you can read it here, www.theinfected.co.uk/AutumnSetVisit1.htm. This report is complete with pictures!

In other news, we are launching the official "Autumn" Site this week, http://www.autumnthemovie.com/. We will also be bringing you a proper promo in the next few weeks.

...back from the edge of the world...

I'm back! Where was I, you ask? Struggling through the bodies of the Autumn world? I am very happy to say no to that one. I have been busy helping around the office and on the field getting things ready for some exciting updates. First of all, Renegade is working on a new website for Autumn and also a very early sneak peak video. That is all I can say for now. But it will be mouth watering. I can tell you that I am drooling to see this movie. It can't come fast enough for me.

Anyway, stay tuned, I may have gone missing for a few weeks, but I am back with a vengeance. And there is tons more to follow.
