Report on the Indie Movie Masters Lexington screening!
We are a little behind on getting up a report on the movie screening back on April 9the at the Kentucky Theater, but here it is!
Here's another image from the night:

First off, Indie Movie Masters' Matthew Perry, Sven Granlund, and Stephen Zimmer went up on stage and gave out a bunch of free DVDs off of a drawing from ticket numbers, including DVDs from the heavy metal band Spent, the new Festival of Horrors Vol. 1 DVD featuring The Sirens and Murderer, Shadows Light, a couple copies of the novel The Exodus Gate, Stash, and a Zeppo Soundtrack.
Then, as we like to promote and expose all manner of indie filmmakers, we showed trailers from Jerry Williams and Eric Butts' Zeppo, Mark Poole's Requiem for the Fallen, Aaron Champion and Justin Ford's No Town, Stephen Zimmer's Shadows Light, and the new trailer for Nathan Day's Bullet Song. We also showed independent music videos from Jason Scolf for Spent's Breaking Down, and a new music video from director Vince Bingham.
The Sirens and Murderer were then screened.
The night went very well, turnout was strong, and the feedback was positive. We saw alot of indie filmmakers that night, including Cherokee Hall, Nathan Day, Aaron Champion, Jason Scolf, Eric Butts, Jerry Williams, Greg Brock, and others. We hope to have all of these names on IMM titles in the future! (and in Aaron and Jerry's case, we will soon! ;) )
Out in the lobby, we had exhibitors other than the IMM table, including Lori and Susan from ScareFest, the paranormal and horror convention returning to Lexington this September.
Nic Brown, author, photographer, movie journalist, and all-around good guy and friend to indie filmmakers everywhere was present with a table displaying his novel Werewolf for Hire, Book One.
Jerry Williams and Eric Butts were on hand with an exhibit for Zeppo, and Spent had a table with their CDs and DVDs. Alot of traffic and conversation around these tables!
It is important to us to mention the exhibitors and trailers and music videos, as this underscores our philosophy; doing everything that we can to help promote and expose indie filmmakers.
A sincere thanks to everyone who attended and supported the screening!
