Sorry for the the press release vibe here - just wanted to bring it to your attention.
“CANNES DO,” a comedic documentary about the horror-comedy feature “So, You’ve Downloaded A Demon” has been chosen as an official selection for the 2006 DragonCon Film Festival. The movie chronicles the efforts of writer/director Todd Livingston, and producer Ken Meyer as they premiere and market the low-budget movie at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival.
DragonCon is America's largest, multi-media, popular arts convention focusing on science fiction and fantasy, gaming, comics, literature, art, music, and film. The event takes place September 1st – 4th, 2006 in Atlanta.
“I screened “So, You’ve Downloaded A Demon” at DragonCon, so having “Cannes Do” in the festival this year is particularly exciting! The audience there just rocks – they’re the best crowd of genre fans I’ve ever seen” says Livingston. The hour-long documentary “Cannes Do” is written & directed by award-winning TV commercial producer/director Steven Tobenkin.
The screening will be on Sunday and Livingston will participate in a panel on Saturday about the experience, as well as several others on gothic horror, filmand comics.
A working television writer & producer, Livingston is best known to comics fans as a writer of horror graphic novels such as THE BLACK FOREST and THE WICKED WEST (co-authored with Eisner nominee Robert Tinnell and drawn by Neil Vokes) and currently the popular comedy webcomic AMERICA JR, co-written with Nick Capetanakis, (Livingston’s partner on “So, You’ve Downloaded A Demon”) and illustrated by Brendon & Brian Fraim (“Wolf Boy”).
