About the London TIH Screening

We're getting questions about the September 6th screening of TIH in London. Here's the scoop:

Screenings are very difficult to arrange. It seems simple: get a theater, show the film. But whew, it's not like that. So even though we would dearly love to screen all over, it's just not something we can arrange easily from here in LA.

Enter Cassie and her contingent of crazy TIH fans in the UK. They have taken matters into their own hands (there's a Ten Inch joke in there somewhere, but I'll refrain), and are determined to set up a UK screening. They're tracking down a cinema AND arranging projection, and are spreading the word to make sure there are enough people who will attend to make it work.

And just like Shoeless Joe, if they build it, we will come.

The screening is tentatively set for mid-day on Saturday September 6th. If you plan to attend, please email Cassie and let her know how many to expect: tihscreening@googlemail.com.

If enough people reply, we can make it work!

Cannes Update

David's just been back from Cannes, and we'd like to give our wonderful friends out there an update on where we are with distribution.

As many of you know, distribution is literally a "one country at a time" deal. It often takes indie films 2 to 3 years to get distribution in any particular country.

As of today, Ten Inch Hero will be distributed and shown in the following countries: Germany (Yay for Kimmy and Dagmar), Switzerland, Austria, Portugal, Belgium (waves hi to the twins!), the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Turkey, Denmark, Luxembourg, and Lichtenstein.

When will be movie be available in these countries? We're not sure. But it's happening, so hang in there.

If your country is not on this list, don't worry...we're working on it! Some countries are just harder to sell than others. But we're making it happen--one country at a time!

Plastic!Priestly's Pilgrammage

You need to see this!

Long time TIF Trillian traveled with Anteka (of PWT fame) down to San Pedro to see if Beach City Grill was still around.

Here is what they found!

Eyecon Thanks and Busy TIFs

Eyecon was a terrific time! A huge thanks to Kenny and Voni for all their hard work and professionalism.

Here's a shot of long time TIF Jenn, with two of the more shady characters at the con:



The TIFs have been busy again!

Shellz has made a name tag for Asylum, so the TIFs can find each other:

Thanks so much to all of you--we have the BEST fans!!

Yo!

It's been quiet around the old shop lately, and I do apologize. We don't have any news, but we do have some terrific fans. So I'm gonna share some of their offerings.

• But first...we adore Dave Lichens, who appears on the TIH soundtrack. (His song "Blue" plays during the scene in the bar when the girls take their road trip.) Dave has a show coming up in LA on March 21, and I'm hearing he will play "Blue" if he knows there are TIH fans in the audience. So head on over for a good show--and let everyone know you love "Blue" AND TIH! For more info, go to Dave's page
  
  

• Have you checked out TIF Kimmy's puzzle about TIH? She did a terrific job!
  

• And speaking of terrific jobs, check out Briana's Priestly!

• We do like fan art here. Here's a fun drawing by Jaimee:

• How cool is this? Apparently, TheLadyScribe felt her friend Beow87 needed to put his kilt to good use around campus. Here's the end result:

Beow87 is a patient man, that's for sure!

• Finally, we made another appearance on campus recently. This time, TIF Breezy dressed up as Priestly and used the tampon scene as a monologue for drama class! Check her out!

That's all for now! Thanks to our wonderful friends and fans out there!
