Fear Fete, the country’s premiere film festival for showcasing indie horror flicks, has announced a groundbreaking partnership with film distributor Midnight Releasing (http://midnightreleasing.com). The deal makes the company Fear Fete’s exclusive Distribution Partner for feature film submissions.

With expansive work in North America, Midnight Releasing has promoted and released dozens of independent horror and thriller films into the DVD and VOD markets.

“We’re very pleased to announce this partnership. The involvement of Midnight Releasing with Fear Fete gives our indie filmmakers the opportunity to have their films acquired and distributed by an outstanding company that specializes in the horror genre,” stated Fear Fete Executive Director Derek Morris.

The company’s involvement with the festival means all feature length submissions will be reviewed for possible acquisition/distribution deals in at least the VOD format (Cable and Internet VOD). In addition to that, the winner of Fear Fete’s Best Feature Film award will be entitled to a full-service distribution offer that includes a North American DVD and VOD release, along with International Sales.

“Midnight Releasing is excited to team up with Fear Fete and offer distribution consideration to the festival’s top films. As a distributor we’re always seeking quality films to release, and with this arrangement we get to see the best of the best from indie filmmakers who might not otherwise know about us or how to get their film distributed,” stated Reese Lester, Media & Technology Director at Midnight Releasing. “We’re also excited to help promote and grow Fear Fete to become a staple festival for horror filmmakers.”

Just some of the films Midnight Releasing has worked with include The Afflicted (psychological thriller that won Best Feature Film at the 2012 Fear Fete Horror Film Festival), Alabama-based slasher Hayride, comedy/horror mashup All American Zombie Drugs and many more.

Now in its third year, the 2013 Fear Fete Horror Film Festival will be held October 18th through 20th in D’Iberville, Mississippi at The Grand 18 theatre. For more information, please visit: http://www.fearfete.com/

Gross Movie Reviews says:

Deference (Theater/DVD) – An independent film company called Churchill Pictures first feature release isn’t exactly the film you find me reviewing on a regular basis but because it is independent and a very interesting picture I wanted to do it anyway. Jared Bajoras acts, writes, produces, stuntman, and assistant director on the film “Deference” about a young and energetic man named Bruno who all his life has been a part of let’s say the mob based in Pittsburgh, Pa. But Bruno after picking up his friend Paulie after doing a stint in jail is feeling like he can do more for the business? He wants to put his own crew together and start running his own operation. Bruno is thinking big but Gigi, his boss, doesn’t believe he is ready and doesn’t think that it’s in Bruno’s best interest as Gigi runs everything in town. But when a crazy Irish bookie starts moving on Bruno’s turf, Paulie doesn’t listen to Bruno’s advice to stay out of the gambling business, and Bruno possibly threatened by Frankie the hitman Bruno’s world soon goes downhill! A very well shot, casted, and written movie for a shoestring budget! Jared and his crew should be proud of what they were able to make and any film fan out there that really enjoys “Goodfellas, The Godfather, etc.” will want to get their hands on this brilliant independent film that I give it 3 out of 4 stars and is available at www.churchillpictures.com .

Nice number of extras…

Welcome to Sunny Jim’s!

Director/writer Fred Terling gathers the main actors and crew to ready them for the scene before extras are added.

Some fine tuning…

A couple officers or actors going through lines.

Setting up for the extras inside.

Lori Terling, production assistant is wondering if this scene is going to be shot soon?

The extras are a little restless, excited, and nervous.

Actors are putting their characters on hold for a little last adjustment.

A couple smart extras in my opinion as they order some beer.

These extras were so excited apparently their excitement turned themselves into blurry people, hahaha

Young and old they came to have a part in a low budget independent film today.

Filming has begun…

Special thanks to the cast and crew of the film of Croaker, Fred Terling, Jimmy Star, and Sunny Jim’s Tavern!

                Don’t Let the Riverbeast Get You is the next independent horror film set to release from Brain Damage Films. You’ll believe in him when he starts to eat you!

About the Film

Don’t Let The Riverbeast Get You! is from the same filmmakers who brought you Freaky Farley and Monsters, Marriage, and Murder in Manchvegas.  Like those two films Riverbeast was shot in New England, and features local amateur actors doing their best with a wild script.  This is true independent filmmaking–just a group of friends working long hours together, and draining their savings accounts in order to create an original and unforgettable feature film!

When they’re not making movies, Matt Farley, Charles Roxburgh and Tom Scalzo are watching as many obscure VHS horror movies made in rural America in the 1970s and 1980s.  These old movies provide them with inspiration for their own pictures.

Full Synopsis:

A vicious monster has arisen from its watery lair! It’s the Riverbeast, and he’s threatening a peaceful New England town. Local tutor Neil Stuart has seen the beast before, but nobody believed his story, making him the town laughingstock. Neil sets out to not only prove that the Riverbeast exists, but also, with the help of his beautiful pupil, scrappy tutor buddies, and a former professional athlete to vanquish the aquatic menace!
