The Countdown to the Screening. Thursday in Lexington! 7:30 pm at the Kentucky Theater!

Just a couple of days away from the premiere screening of our new Indie Movie Masters Festival of Horrors Vol. 1 DVD.

I am really looking forward to seeing alot of friends and indie filmmakers that night, as it is always good to gather and enjoy indie film in a first class venue like the Kentucky Theater is.

We're going to be showing several trailers, such as the one for Jerry Williams' and Eric Butts' extravaganza Zeppo, and also including the brand new one for No Town which is scheduled for our 2nd title in the Festival of Horrors series. This one's from Aaron Champion and Justin Ford, and really looks sharp! These two guys are true filmmaking hooligans who I absolutely think the world of. Justin's down in Nashville, TN, probably so he can pester Stephen and Suzie Lackey more (and you all NEED to check out Con Trek on the xBox....it is now available!)

After the trailers, look for a couple of music vids...one by the heavy metal band Spent, whose music appears in Sirens, and one from director Vince Bingham, who acted in both Sirens and Murderer.

Nathan Day's new trailer for Bullet Song will be the last trailer or music video shown. Everyone needs to look out for Bullet Song! Emotional movie made by a very talented and very, very dedicated guy with alot of heart. I am really looking forward to the debut of Bullet Song in the near future.

I hope everyone in the Lexington area or within range can make a little extra effort to come out. Film screenings are not frequent events in the indie world, and we want to have a good showing as this series is going to be one that opens up a bunch of new opportunities for indie filmmakers everywhere. We are really wanting to grow this series and make it work for everyone.

For more on the concept, please be sure to visit the IMM site at www.indiemoviemasters.com

So, come on down and let's have a great indie film night this Thursday at the Kentucky Theater!

IMM Screening and Exodus Gate Contest!

A couple of nice updates. First of all, please note that we will be screening The Sirens along with Murderer as part of the Indie Movie Masters screening and DVD release party. It takes place Thursday, April 9th at the Kentucky Theater on main street in Lexington, beginning at 7:30 pm. Great venue, and we will be showing trailers and music video from other indie filmmakers.



Secondly, I have a new contest running for The Exodus Gate. Win a signed copy! Just visit my website at www.stephenzimmer.com and look at the instructions on the home page, under news for March 30, 2009. Very easy! Just put up a web banner and you are entered for a chance at the book with alot of goodies or a couple runner up packages.

Just a little update, and the Exodus Gate is Out in March!

Okay, I've slacked a bit on giving a blog update, but here we go!

This has been a very, very busy month. The Limited Edition run arrived for signing, and Matt, Amanda, and myself each signed every book. So Illustrator, Editor, and Author were all covered in signature! The packages were then assembled and sent out, as alot of goodies were included such as a poster, bookmark, 8X10, and a set of art cards. I was very pleased at how everything came out, and from what I have heard from a few folks, I am optimistic that it will be very well received by all.

Alot is going on now. The regular edition will be out in March, not only in the US, but also in Canada, the UK, and continental Europe. Add to that an eBook edition and a Kindle edition.

The publicist for Seventh Star is doing outreach right now regarding appearances and visits, and I hope to be setting off on the road to Cons and bookstores very regularly throughout the spring and early summer.

One confirmed visit I will be making an appearance at is Hypericon, a convention in Nashville TN that I absolutely love. June 5-7 are the dates. Visit www.hypericon.org for more info and I encourage you to attend if you want to have a very pleasant Con experience. I've met alot of great individuals the past couple of years, from authors to filmmakers to fans of the genre.

On the movie front, Shadows Light is going to be On Demand, the video on demand service. We have a 90 day window that begins on April 1st.

Locally, we have a screening for the new Indie Masters Festival of Horrors Vol. 1 DVD, set for April 9 at the Kentucky Theater. If you are in the region, come on out! Should be a 7:30 pm screening. We'll be showing trailers and a music video or two, before we show Sirens and Murderer. Should be a great celebration of indie film for all.

Well, that's it for the moment. Back to work!
