Back Again and Moving Forward.

Our power outage lasted only a few hours yesterday, which wasn't great by any means, but on the bright side, it was only part of the day. With things back to normal (or for what passes as that around here this week), we're rapidly nearing our deadline for CineVegas submission.

In the meantime, Kerry has been busy as always, taking part in an interview for Las Vegas Weekly, and putting the final touches on the film alongside the rest of the team. At this stage, the team is just getting everything ready for submission, and spreading the word as much as possible online and through our promotional materials.

Keep checking back with us this next week. We'll have a lot of new information to post in regards to our CineVegas screening and party schedule.

Alright, we know you guys have been wanting to see more of The Revenant, and if you weren't able to make it to Xanadu, you've been a little starved for cool, new footage.

Remember that "secret" announcement that I touched upon for a few entries now but couldn't talk about? Of course you do.

We've been invited to screen our film in their "Area 52" category, self-described as "An underground collection of cult and midnight movies for the most hardcore fans".

We'll let you know more about the screenings once we confirm the show times and the venue location, but this will be our third opportunity to connect with our fans in the past few months, so we're looking forward to meeting all those who attend. Who knows where we'll end up next?

The Revenant Wins "Best Feature Film 2009" At Xanadu!

"Joey's going to Vegas!"

For those who attended Xanadu Las Vegas this year may have seen a little film titled The Revenant place 1st in the "Best Feature Film 2009" during the closing ceremonies yesterday afternoon. Kerry Prior accepted the award as fans of the film and members of The Revenant team enthusiastically cheered the Director/Writer/Producer on. It's our first award, and we certainly don't aim to make it our only one!

The rest of the convention went well, with a Friday night premiere of the film in the "Pleasure Dome" room. Fans had a chance to chat with Chris Wylde before the show, handing out free autographed shirts and 8X10 photos. He was later joined by David Anders and the rest of The Revenant crew to attend the screening, which was met to a lot of enthusiastic fan response. We hope you got your photo op or autograph of the guys during the show!

It wasn't long before the rest of the show slowly became a sea of Bart and Joey heads on their T-Shirts as our merchandise swept through the crowd like a revenant infection of its own. Plenty of new fans and friends to talk to, and of course, our great award made the convention an experience to remember.

We'd like to thank Scott Anderson for allowing us to take part in his convention, Chris and David for their appearance and participation, our booth neighbor Nic Brown for being an all-around cool guy alongside Tucky Williams, the panel judges, and of course, you, our fans, for being such an important part of everything we do here. Hearing you guys cheer for our film, laugh during the funny parts, and gasp during the gross parts is an award in itself.

Revenant Production Update.

With Xanadu coming up so quickly, the production is hard at work getting ready for the show. It's the usual show preparation: Getting the booth set up, press kits, freebies for the fans (yes, we're working on getting free swag ready for you guys), and David and Chris are still ready to make an appearance, sign autographs, and be rock stars in general.

The Revenant is set to show at Xanadu on Friday, April 17 at 11 P.M. - so keep your schedules open.

Production is still going steadily, and we get closer and closer to completion, with a few more small scenes being filmed, getting the soundtrack in place, and general edits and FX work. The cut shown at Xanadu will still be a "Work In Progress" cut. While the version shown will definitely be a viewable version e are continuing to work on polishing up the film and showing that work at future festivals.

We'll have some new artwork to show and another website revision to show off very soon. Thanks for sticking with us, and for your continued support.
