We are very fortunate that on top of screening our film at the upcoming San Diego Film Festival, the doc will be hosted by Chris Gore followed by a Q&A with producer Vanessa Philippe. And in case that wasn’t enough San Diego fans, pull out your SW costumes (we know you have some) as we’re having a contest! The festival takes place from September 29 – October 3, and the film will screen on October 1st @ 8pm, Gaslamp Theatre.

A debate and Q&A will be staged directly after the show.

PvG’s Asian premiere will take place at the 14th Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival (PiFan) in South Korea next month. PiFan has emerged as one of the most prominent genre film festivals in the world, and is a supporting member of the European Fantastic Film Festival Federation.

Samantha Horley, MD of Salt, said the plan is to build the audience through social networks and online. “It’s the future of film sales.
