Great Review from MovieCynics.com

With the Soho International Film Festival behind us, the only way to keep momentum going during the downtime is good word of mouth and good reviews for the movie.

That's why we are so excited about this review from MovieCynics.com. The Movie Cynics also devise a drinking game for just about every movie they review - so here is the Throws of Passion Drinking Game!

We are waiting on a number of festivals to get back to us, so reviews like this really only help our cause.

Soho Premiere was a Big Hit

A packed house.  Laughs beginning to end.  An opportunity to get the movie in front of an audience and see how it played.  The THROWS OF PASSION premiere at the 2010 Soho International Film Festival was a huge success!  We want to thank the festival, its coordinators, and its volunteers for putting on a wonderful event.


We also want to thank everyone who came out on February 21 to help us launch the festival run of our little $1,000 comedy.  Based on your feedback and support, it should be a fantastic run.

OFFICIAL SELECTION - SoHo International Film Festival

The big news early in 2010 is that the movie has been accepted to the SoHo International Film Festival.  This will be our World Premiere and we hope to see as many of you there as possible!

5 Maverick Movie Award Nominations

And the good news keeps coming.  THROWS OF PASSION was nominated for 5 Maverick Movie Awards in 2009.  All of the nominations came in the acting categories.  Among the nominees at this year's awards were former Oscar nominee Tom Berenger, Radiohead's Thom Yorke (who was nominated for and won Best Original Score) and character actor Raymond J. Barry.  A very good year for the Mavs and a big stepping stone for our little $1,000 comedy!
