A lot has been happening with our new anthology film "Hi-8" since our last updates. 

  In November 2013, "Hi-8" had its LA premiere, coinciding with a feature article in the newly relaunched Gorezone magazine.  A limited theatrical run followed, including screenings in Kansas City, Tampa and NYC!

In January 2014, HorrorHound magazine gave us our first review, calling "Hi-8" "The Expendables of Shot on Video Horror" and screening the film as the kickoff film at the HorrorHound Film Festival. 

"Hi-8" went on to play more than 10 fests around the world in 2014, including Cutrecon (Madrid), Fright Nights (Vienna), Festerror, Pollygrind Film festival, and Horrible Imaginings, which Exec Producers Brad and Josephina Sykes attended, and where "Hi-8" was awarded prizes in two categories. 

"Hi-8" garnered a feature article in the November issue of Rue Morgue magazine, who wrote, "there’s a genuine sense of fun in Hi-8", calling it "perfectly sequenced", with " a remarkable sense of cohesiveness in the end product" and "loads of splatter".

"Hi-8" secured distribution with leading indie horror/cult distributor Wild Eye Releasing, who has already released the film on limited-edition VHS and will release "Hi-8" on wide-release DVD/VOD December 16.
