Monster Love!

Our feature film comedy Notzilla, an affectionate send-up of old monster movies, has received two new honors!

(Click on any image to enlarge, or to start slide show)
L to R: James Burke (Editor, Visual Effects), Tifani Ahren Davis (star), Aymie Majerski (Producer), Mitch Teemley (Writer-Director), Tim Dutton (Production Sound and audio f/x), Jeff Barklage (Director of Photography, Effects Supervisor), Baby Notzilla (star)
Cincinnati Comic Expo 2019
Dr. Frankenmitch and his creation
Baby Notzilla!

First, we were chosen to preview exclusive scenes from the movie and present a panel with the filmmakers–and the scene-stealing baby version of our titular star–at Cincinnati Comic Expo, one of the fastest growing comic cons in the U.S. The event (last weekend) went swimmingly, with an enthusiastic and unexpectedly large crowd!

Second, we’re now an Official Selection of the Top Indie Film Awards, an international movie competition! If Notzilla turns out to be one of the big winners (we’ll  find out next week), it will be screened in Tokyo this February. Imagine Notzilla playing in the birthplace of his hero, You-Know-Who (clue: he breathes fire)!

Thanks for all your love and support, peeps!
