Server Outage

So, our web host company has decided to have some sort of maintenance outage for the last 24 hours without any notifications of it at all. Accordingly, we are switching web host companies. Hopefully we will be back up within a few hours.

Our good friends at the Zed Word Blog are having a contest, which you can enter here, The Zed Word. Enter soon, you only have until the 10th of March!

Hello everybody.

The revamped Autumn site is now live. www.autumnthemovie.com. Let us know what you think. We will also be adding a fan page to Facebook and myspace in the next week.

Oh, and for those lonely zombies out there, they finally have a dating site for you, ZombieHarmony.

UPDATE

Hello all. We have some new news! Spotlight will be showcasing Autumn at the EFM (European Film Market) in Berlin this Month. The EFM runs from February 5th - February 15th. We will be able to give you more details as we get them.

We are redoing the Autumn website this week and should have it up and running this weekend. It will be a lot more user friendly.

Now, we still don't know when exactly you are going to be able to see Autumn for yourselves, but know that we will tell you the minute we find out. It is still being shopped around and we aren't privy to any release info until all sales are final. We are not trying to be "cock teases" (we were called this by somebody on the IMDB boards...which, was brilliant), we really aren't. We are just an indie film company trying to put out a film that we are incredibly passionate about and unfortunately, there are a lot more hoops to jump through when you don't have a major studio behind you. All in good time though.

All in good time.

Spotlight Pictures

www.spotlight-pictures.com
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.

My Kingdom for a Release Date

Hello everybody. I do apologize for the lack of updates to the blog. Things have been super busy here, not just with "Autumn", but for the whole company. This has made it difficult to keep up with the blog. But this is a wonderful thing, because we have lots of news.

First of all, the release date. Yes, that is a burning question right now. We have some talks going on right now and will be able to tell you more once deals have been made. We had planned on being able to bring news earlier, but a slight technical problem with our screener put us behind about a month or so. We are hoping to be able to bring more news about the release soon. I know it may not seem like it, but the lack of news has been a good thing. You won't be disappointed, at all.

Steven Rumbelow, the director of "Autumn" was on Nocturnal Frequency Radio last weekend. You can listen to the episode here. The first hour he talks about his paranormal show, which airs on the Space Channel, Beyond, the last half is about "Autumn". One of the hosts, Steve Genier, has very recently seen the screener of "Autumn" and you can hear a bit of a review from him.

Also, "Wired Magazine" (www.wired.com) will be putting out an article about "Autumn" in their November issue. Be on the lookout for that!

Thanks for sticking with us!
