EAT ME!

What do Madonna, New York City, Prince, Pepsi-cola, and OUR FILM all have in common?

They've changed their names and become GREAT!!!

THE EATERS is now known to the world as EAT ME!
(that's right, exclamation point and all EAT ME!)

Just to clarify: No, the movie hasn't suddenly become soft porn. It's the same movie that you know and love, just with a dynamic new name. Like Prince! Or Google!

We're gearing up for heavy festival submissions and wanted to begin with a title that would reach out and grab our viewers, be they festival screeners, potential distributors, or Johnny Youtubepeeper (You've met Johnny, right? No, YOU ARE JOHNNY! We all are.)

We're also going to be experimenting with the art and copy to try to best capture the unique spirit of our zombie comedy. So check back for updates.

As an indie, our biggest challenge is just getting the right people to stop and WATCH. We see this rascally title change as a fun, easy way to make people take a second look, and hey, there's no arguing that it's anything but a perfect match for the anarchic spirit of the movie.

So keep checking the updates, and tell all your friends EAT ME!

Fests and Festivities

The Eaters team passed a fantastic night yesterday at the Anthology Film Archives where The Eaters screened as part of the New Filmmakers NY Series.

The turnout was amazing and the crowd was wonderfully responsive. We made a lot of new friends and were able to reconnect with some familiar faces. It was hard not to be blown away by all the people that came out to support our indie film. It reminded us in a very real way just how truly remarkable the NYC film community really is.

We love you NYC artists and supporters!

IN OTHER TRULY EXCITING NEWS:

We've just been invited to screen at the Revenant Film Festival in Seattle, Washington!

On September 26, "Eat Me!" will screen with four other carefully curated zombie films at this one-day celebration of cinema's flesh-eating darlings. We're extremely honored to be chosen for this highly selective fest, which received film submissions from all over the globe.

It is also notable that Revenant will be our first non-New York festival. We cant wait to take our zeds to the West Coast and see what all that fresh air does to them.

Stay Tuned for more details!

A day without sunlight, but with some hot news!

Cold Hands daytripped it out to Bellmore for the long day of events that composed the closing Gala of the Long Island International Film Expo. We met some interesting people and were happy to see THE EATERS nominated in the Best Long Island Feature Category. The overall event could have used some serious tightening (we the audience sat in a dark theater for four hours on the most beautiful of summer afternoons- I kept thinking, if this were at a restaurant at the Nautical Mile, we could all be looking at boats, and seagulls, and longshoremen!) Anyhoo. We were happy to be recognized in a city that as treated us well.

In other super-exciting news, the treatment for our next feature has gotten us into the quarterfinals of the Ultimate Filmmaking Competition. There are still many hoops to jump through, but we are psyched to be in the running for the awesome cash prize.

THE EATERS have also gotten a shout out from women-in-horror site Pretty Scary. Thanks ladies! Check out the link here -
