Distribution News

Those of us here in the Doom Bunny borough were recently contacted by a new company who offered us a distribution deal for the Bloodwine movie. We are very excited about the prospects of getting the film out to the fans and creative folks who have waited so long for a copy. With this in mind, it is still going to take a bit to disseminate the contract, weigh our options and deliver the materials once we reach a suitable agreement.

Once the deal is finally in place I will be able to pass along the information about the company that generously offered to help us make our project available to the masses on DVD. Thank you for being patient and for supporting our work. We'll keep you posted on the progress.

BLOODWINE Review at Pretty Scary

Heidi Martinuzzi shared her thoughts on Bloodwine and gave high marks for the technical savvy of the production, including the effects, lighting and art direction.

"Bloodwine is unique and unpredictable. It also does a great deal to redeem the state of real female friendships in the horror genre."

BLOODWINE Review by CABFan

Andy, a one-time hardcore vamp fanatic gave Bloodwine high marks for achieving what Hollywood could not hope to.

"In summary, Patrick and the fine cast and crew from Doom Bunny Films have created a fresh new vampire film in a fine Texas independent fashion....They've created something that's been lost from Hollywood for many years, the ability to tell a pure and honest story in grand fashion on a very small budget."

INDIE FEST USA Winner for Best Makeup

You may have noticed the addition of the laurel leaves underneath the Bloodwine logo. The accomplishments of the cast and crew were recognized at Indie Fest USA this weekend as Bloodwine received four nominations and a win. The movie was nominated in the categories of Best Special Effects, Best Costumes, Best Makeup and Best Feature Film.

We wanted to specifically offer Heather Whitsell a sounding congratulations for winning the Best Makeup category. As pictured, Lora and Vanessa attended the award ceremony on Friday night and accepted the award on Heather's behalf.

Although we piled on a tough job including full-body painting and maintining the stylized designs of different looks for Andrea on different story-days, Heather worked like a trooper under an impossible schedule with tight deadlines to get the look required for the characters. We couldn't be more proud of her in this achievement and are especially impressed that the festival voters and judges recognized this particular acheivement.

Coming from primarily a theater experience, this is the first feature film Heather has worked on. While most of us had the flu during shooting, she pulled up her bootstraps and wrangled the wardrobe, handled all the makeup tasks and performed one of the supporting roles. Even though we constantly goaded her with an "ETA" of when the actors would be ready to shoot, she delivered with great spirit and little grumbling of the gruelling circumstances. I can't wait to work with her on a project again. Thanks again, Heather, you make us proud!

I also want to thank Lora and Vaneassa for braving the trip to the coast beyond the desert. They did a great job of

getting the word out about the film and worked tirelessly to promote and advertise the movie and the screening. Our two gorgeous vampires did their best to make the Bunny proud and we couldn't be more impressed with their willingness to support the project and give of their time for the cause.

I have been very happy with the fine accolades and reviews we have received so far for the film. Feedback from the show indicated most attendees were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the production considering its budget level. Most of the comments reflected a very positive response in terms of acting, writing and the overall tone of the film being very character-driven. This is not your little brother's vampire flick!

More news as it happens.

BLOODWINE Review at Film Arcade

Anthony Thurber posted a great review over at Film Arcade and spotlights the acting talent along with the writing and directing.

"Bloodwine is the best vampire film that I’ve seen this year, so far. Director Patrick Keith . . . brought a dark and gothic tone, in the presentation of the film."
