Throwing Keith A Bone

Hello All,

It has been brought to my attention that it might look like we are favoring the UK and Canada in our previous post asking for input on where to distribute in those countries. That is not the case at all, it is just easier to make a sale in the US than it is Canada and the UK. Having a look at what the fans have to say has some sway with SOME of the broadcasters/theatres and helps us fine tune our strategy.

Keith, we hope to have some news for the US soon. I wish I could say when, but I can tell you that it will most definitely be sometime in the future. ;)

Cheers everybody, and keep the input coming!

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!

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.

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.
