The D-Monster screens in the South this week at the 2011 Southern Appalachian International Film Festival (SOAPIFF). Films you might know that were shot in Southern Appalachia: “Dirty Dancing,” “Goodbye, Miss 4th of July,” “The River,” “What about Bob” among others. Our film is nominated for best comedy short, so who knows what will happen.

Another festival for THE D-MONSTER short film! The D-Monster will screen as official selection for this year’s Little Rock Film Festival (LRFF).  LRFF was named top 25 film festivals worth submitting to by Filmmaker Magazine.  The festival has an impressive line-up with an emphasis on Southern Films and latest fest circuit faves like Cannes Film Festival critics pics – Jeff Nichols’ Shotgun Stories fresh from this years 2011 Cannes Film Festival.  THE D-MONSTER is honored to represent Los Angeles filmmaking in a line-up of mainly Southern shot and produced films.
