FESTIVAL ASSOCIATIONS

We have recently formed associations with select top-ranking International Film Festivals in the U.S. in conjunction with current Film Acquisitions, as well as attending the AFM and the IFFM. While at The Palm Springs International Festival of Short Films, we screened over 100 films in their Film Market, Programming Director Anita Monga and Film Administrator Alan Spano were helpful in directing us to films. Several genre Film Festivals were also attended, including Hollywood's Shriekfest Film Festival & Screenplay Competition, where Denise Gossett, Festival Founder/Director was very helpful and supportive, referring many current and past festivals films to us. We also formed a close association with The Eerie Horror Film Festival in Eerie, PA, where Greg Ropp, Festival President and Vinny Stefanelli, Marketing Director, added a Page to their My Space website for our Film Acquisitions.  Referrals and cross-promotions are underway with them. Jason Carney, Senior Festival Director at The International Horror & Sci-Fi Film Festival in Phoenix, AZ coordinated with us before and during their festival, providing information on past and present festival films for us.

Non-exclusive rights will be acquired on films for use as segments in SCP's upcoming Feature Film Projects.  These Film Projects will be similar in format to THE TWILIGHT ZONE MOVIE, to be produced by Silver Creek Pictures.  SCP is considering Thriller-Chiller, Gothic/Ghost Stories, Crime Drama, War Drama, Dark Comedy, Fantasy & Sci-Fi, Action-Adventure and Monster Movies. Genres may expand in the future to include drama, comedy and family films.  TRT on the acquired film segments can run about 10 to 30 mins.  Our film selection process is not unlike that of a film festival.  SCP is now accepting solicited film submissions through festival referrals, or queries directly from filmmakers who submit film information for consideration (see Film Submissions).  We're seeking high quality films that will be compatible in theme, tone quality and length.  We are only acquiring rights to Films that are available on a non-exclusive basis for all markets.  Any Limitations on markets would limit the profit potential for Silver Creek Pictures and all the filmmakers involved.

ACQUISITION AGREEMENTS.

If Silver Creek Pictures decides to acquire non-exclusive rights to a film, or option it for Development, we will send the filmmaker a contract offer to consider, and we will follow-up with emails and/or phone calls as needed.  On the first Feature Project produced like this, filmmakers were paid a flat one-time licensing fee for non-exclusive rights on their films.  On future projects, we plan to offer Gross Profit percentages to the filmmakers.  Each filmmaker will retain copyright on their individual Films and can pursue other markets and Film Festivals, with only limited restrictions.  Silver Creek Pictures will act as distributor, marketer, promoter and concept producer of these Projects.  There may also be a development stage for the Projects.  It is our desire for this to be win-win for all.  We're planning these Feature Projects as an on-going venture.  Once a film is acquired non-exclusively, or optioned, at our discretion, certain films may then be promoted through the Silver Creek Pictures' website, press, and other promotional means.

CREEPTALES (2004) Starring Tom Kenny (see Production page), was the first completed Feature Film Project of this kind by Producers now with Silver Creek Pictures.  It's available on three different multi-disk DVD Chiller-Thriller Movie sets; it's been available on Net Flicks, Buy.com, Amazon, other Internet stores, nationally at Circuit City, Best Buy, and Target.  A recent deal was made for distribution on 13 Top Pay-Per-View Broadband Movie Channels (see News from Silver Creek Pictures).  This includes Broadband Video-On-Demand, DVD downloads, and our agreement also includes Broadband broadcast delivered via Cell Phones, Ipods, Blackberrys and other entertainment broadcast delivery devices.  The sequel, CREEPTALES 2: THE NIGHTCREEPS is in Development, along with several other Feature Films to be produced the same way (see Development page).  These Projects, produced similar to THE TWILIGHT ZONE MOVIE, including award winning films from around the world used as segments, may find Limited Theatrical Markets.  With Artfully Produced Feature Films of this nature, a Limited Theatrical Market is possible.  It is the plan of Silver Creek Pictures to pursue all available Markets World Wide for these projects.
