BRAND NEW: Halo-8 Filmmaker Blogs

Posted in Uncategorized on January 4th, 2008

How exciting! All your favorite Halo-8 filmmakers are participating in the brand new Halo-8 Filmmaker Blogs… the best place in the world to learn the ins & outs of alternative/independent/dangerous filmmaking! Each week, a new question from the Alt-Film Festival will be presented to the Halo-8 filmmakers, and they’ll each tackle it in their blog. The first question? “What is the biggest hurdle you faced making your first film, and how did you overcome it?” Check out the answers in the blogs located on the right-side of the Halo-8 homepage. Be sure to let us know what you think and if you have a question for the filmmakers!

We’re excited to announce that Halo-8 kicked a couple of major studios in the teeth during the Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal and won a bidding war for worldwide rights to the fantastic documentary “Your Mommy Kills Animals.” If you have any interest in animals or freedom of speech, then you’re gonna flip for this doc about the ALF and the SHAC-7. Hits theaters in September, DVD in November… just in time for Thanksgiving!
