That's right, we're still plugging away at this film festival thing. Our movie has been officially selected to play at the 2008 Indiana University South Bend International Video and Film Festival.

Here is the link: http://www.rpstudios.net/ivff/ivff08films.html

This marks the third consecutive year Tempered Zealot has had one of our movies selected to play in this festival.

Hey, some super cool news for everyone involved in A Thousand Words: Bloodline. I found out this morning that the movie was picked up by Count Gore De Vol. For all those who have not gotten a chance to see the movie, for a time you can check it out online at http://www.countgore.com/NewBlood.htm including intro and wrap-up by Count Gore himself. By the things he said on the site and in the bookend segments he did, he really liked it.

So please, if you haven't checked out the movie this is your chance. Head over to the Count's website and take a peek at the show!

Thanks,

Justin

HorrorTalk.com Review of ATW: Bloodline

This just in from The Zombie Review, another nice review for A Thousand Words: Bloodline.

Put together a new trailer for A Thousand Words: Bloodline. It's something we only touched on with a simple teaser. But with all the reviews and the little bit of attention we've been getting back from people who've seen it, I thought it would be a good idea to give the people something more than just a teaser.

If you haven't checked out the movie yet or are just curious (which is always good), you can see the trailer here: ATW: Bloodline New Trailer

Got another review of the flick, this time from The Chopping Block.


Chopping Block Review of A Thousand Words: Bloodlline

Well, at least we were interviewed for a documentary on filmmaking. Never quite sure if you'll make it through editing, though I'm fairly confident we will at least make an appearance. We'll fill everyone in when we have more info on the project. But for more detail check out our blog...

 

Tuesday April 10th, at 8:00pm in room 2038 at the Drake Union on the OSU campus.

We've been asked to speak at the local weekly meeting for the OSU Film & Video Society. We are both pretty jazzed about it and looking forward to sharing information we've learned on our journey in filmmaking and information about some of the great things going on here in Columbus and the surrounding area.

 

Just in straight from Fatally Yours is another great review of A Thousand Words: Bloodline.

Bum's Corner review of A Thousand Words: Bloodline

 

Last night Tempered Zealot Productions premiered their newest short film A Thousand Words: Bloodline at the Drexel Gateway theater along with screening the newly cut Over Coffee. The movies played before a packed room in front of an audience of cast and crew and select special guests including some press. We were very pleased by the response we got to both films.

Here are some of the things people are saying about Bloodline:

"You have a lot to be proud of with this movie.." - Peter John Ross Sonnyboo Productions

"You guys really raised the bar.." - Aaron P. Friedman Director of Photography

"The film is AWESOME!!!!!!! I am so thrilled that I was able to be a part of it!!!" - Sue Sabo Actress

"I really think you have something good to be proud of with ATW:B - it kept me hooked all the way through, was well paced and the story, filming & performances all worked well together as a complete movie." - Louie Cowan Red Key Productions

"Bloodlines is f**king relentless. It's 26 minutes long, but goes by like 10. ...every moment is either ultra-violence or extreme emotional trauma. It freaked me out... And all that gore looks gorgeous, thanks to the increasing skills of the Tempered Zealot crew and DP Matthias Saunders." - Tony Goins

If you haven't seen the movie yet it will be playing at Columbus Indie Club FREE monthly meeting February 19th at the Grandview Heights public library, and on April 22nd at the Cleveland Indie Club FREE monthly meeting at the Hyacinth Lofts.

We will update this site as festival information comes in about where and when it will be playing; and as other more interesting information comes our way.
