Some of you may remember that in Feb 2011 we had a OWC and I offered to choose one of the scripts and produce a film.

After a long road that film is now hitting festivals:

Captive will make its Global Premiere at the Anatomy: Crime and Horror Festival, in one of my favourite Cities in the World, Athens.

We've been given a very generous, Friday night, "High Visibility" Prime Time slot on November the 3rd.

The schedule is here.

It looks like a great festival.



Captive has also been selected to appear at the  Unrestricted Horror Festival in North London.

It's got an afternoon slot on Saturday 4th November.

There will be more to follow, I expect.


If you'd like to watch it, PM me and I will send you the link and the password.

I'm taking the link off here to protect it for the festivals.

Wow! Great job Rick! That looked like a real movie! I had a headset on so I could hear all the sound. Great sound editing.

I don't remember the short for some reason. Was that from the same OWC as Then That's Dead?

Good luck at the festivals. I'm sure it will do very well.

Dena and I have two shorts coming out within a week, but they are just super shorts aimed at the YouTube crowd.

Awesome!  8) 8) 8)

Hi Pia,

Yes, it was the same one with Them That's Dead.

Good luck with your films!

Hey, congrats Rick and good luck to you with it.

I wanted to watch it, went to vimeo and it gives me incorrect password. I remember the OWC and the script. Would be interesting to see what came out of it.

Just keep trying the password. It did that to me as well.

Yeah, I just had to reload the page then it worked.

That was awesome. Looks and sounds like a real movie to me. Great job. Hope it does well at festivals.

I'll check out the original script too. I think I found it in Feb 2011 OWC.

That was really great, looks and sounds amazing. Quality stuff for sure.

I didn't quite get the storyline though. Was still thrilling to watch. Edge of your seat stuff.

Big congrats.

Rick,

Is there a trailer that I can link to from the blog home page?  I'm pretty sure you don't want the full film freely available.

And grats!  Wow!

Hi Don,

Just leave it. I was just giving people a sneak preview because of the fact it came to life on here. Cheers, Rick

Cool. I watched. It was fantastic. Can I post something to the blog re: the film? (Sans the actual movie itself, of course.)

Richard,

Let me rephrase.  What can I do to help get the word out?  I want to make sure that the message is right.  If you have a PR packet, shoot that to me.

Hi Don,

Thanks for the support. I don't think there's much that needs doing at this point. Maybe later if I get a distribution deal...

Cheers

Still haven't managed to grab time to watch all of this yet, but I will get to it on Monday evening or so. What I've seen looks very good so far and I wish you luck in gaining distribution and/or contacts that can help you.
