If you're following any of us on Facebook, this isn't going to be news, but I'm very proud to announce that "Blood of Ohma" has won "Best Horror" in the 16th Annual Indie Gathering Film Festival.
The Indie Gathering, held each year near Cleveland, OH. is ranked among the Top 25 'Best Festivals' by Movie Maker Magazine featuring films from all over the globe in an international competition that has long been known as a proving ground for independent film makers.
If you've been counting, this is actually our third competition win behind "Virgin Pockets" (Best Comedy) in 2007 and "House of Bedlam" (Best Thriller) in 2008.
And once again... this didn't happen by itself and I had barely anything to do with it. I owe a tremendous amount of gratitude to my amazing cast, crew and support team that actually made it happen.
Our new GMD Films Backlot Auctions page over at Ebay has been quite literally blowing up.
All of the items in our first round of Auctions have been sold, including the Life Size "Ohma" Costume, Screen Worn Clothing from Marie Madison, Etta Halloway, and Angelia Leigh. Including our first Charity Auction that raised some much needed funds for Marshall's Walk - Angelina's Personal Charity that helps find rescued companion animals new homes.
This week we're proud to launch our 2nd Charity Auction that features a pretty sexy outfit Screen Worn by Katie Russell in "House of Bedlam".
If you're having trouble visualizing this outfit in the movie, let me help you out there.
See... I knew you would remember that scene. My smart ass friends and snarky collegues call this shot "The Gorman", which has become a staple in my shooting style. No one personifies it more than Katie Russell.
All Proceeds from this Auction will be going to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest PA to bring much needed food to those in need. Please bid generously.
Also up for Auction this week is a couple of Screen Worn Costumes from "Virgin Pockets" worn by Marie Madison.
Lizzy's "Tournement Suit"
Lizzy's "Red Sox" T-Shirt
Lizzy's Dark Purple Camisole
Last week, a bidding war broke out on Maddy's Blue Corset from "FURY" at the last minute, so if you have your heart set on one of these costumes from this iconic GMD Film, get your auction strategy in place now.
Dang... This costume is just one of the reasons "FURY" keeps people up at night and now it's the prized possession of one very happy fan.
I should have a few things to say about the upcoming "WISP" project, including some casting announcements as well as some kind of plan for our trip to Cleveland for the Indie Gathering next month.
Don't go too far.
