Dream Regime's own Daniel Sol does more than act (Religious Freaks Gone Wild, Bodywash Spoof, Shoot-Out), he also shares responsibilities with Theo Dumont as co-founder and co-producer of the HollyShorts Film Festival. The festival is right around the corner, taking place August 11th -13th, 2006. The amount of press he is receiving is magnifying. Here is an interview he just completed with Countingdown.com, a great site that offers features, news, trailers, articles, interviews and message boards.
HollyShorts Interview with Countingdown.com
Daniel does a great job with this one!
The Dream Regime's own Actor/Producer Tyshawn Bryant was among the celebrity guest list at 2006 Showtime's "Weeds" Premiere Party. Here he is pictured with "Weeds" star Kevin Nealon.
It's great news and sad news at the same time! We are thrilled with the positive response to our "Shoot-Out" DVD. We hope to sell many more copies. The sad news is we must apologize to those who have ordered the DVD and must wait for our next shipment to come in Please be patient with us. We ordered more DVD's this time around to help meet the demand. We've been told that the order has gone right to the presses so we are not expecting a long delay. We will get your DVD to you as soon as we get them. Thanks to all who have supported us and have purchased the DVD. We wanted to keep the first shipment to a reasonable goal that we could surpass. You helped us meet that goal. We certainly appreciate all of you. We have a way of thanking you which will be announced in the upcoming weeks.
Our best,
David, Tyshawn, Daniel
Jacob Magnuson, star of "Honey I'm Home" was recently featured in a LA Times Review for a play he is also starring in entitled, "Rock and Roll Heaven." He is noted in the Review as a "gem in the rough" along with two of his co-stars.
"Honey I'm Home" is in post-production. The rough cut has come out great and we are excited to finish the film and share it with you.
Here's what the LA Times Review looks like. Jacob plays the role of Jesus and is seen on the left in the photo.
Pasadena Star News/San Gabriel Valley Tribune and Whittier Daily News all featured a Review of "Shoot-Out" by Vernor Rodgers. It was a full page Review that talks about our independent basketball classic. It appeared in June 29th's Entertainment Section of the newspaper with Pirates of the Caribbean 2 on the cover. We've just received copies. Great to have a review in print, especially when you work so hard and put so much effort in. We cannot thank you enough Vernor. Here's what it looks like.
We have received a lot of inquiries whether or not "Religious Freaks Gone Wild" is real or not. There has been a tremendous amount of discussion and controversy surrounding the subject since we posted the video clip online in March.
Whatever truth you see in this video is the truth you are meant to see.
You will believe what you want to believe.
Whether you love the video or hate the video, if it strikes a chord within you, it has done what it is supposed to do.
With the success "Shoot-Out" has been having, we decided to recut and post a Brand New Trailer.
If you have a YouTube account, please Comment on it.
Thank you for your support!

"Shoot-Out" which was showcased at EgoFest in Brainerd, MN is mentioned as one of the "Best of the Festival" by entertainment editor John Hansen of Brainerd Dispatch.
Here is what he wrote,
"Shootout, David Branin, California - A great premise: Two men play a one-on-one basketball game to the death. One guy is cocky, saying he's never lost a game with a bet riding on it; the other wants to put him in his place (or in the ground). It's plenty intense just watching the hoops action, which naturally comes down to sudden death. After the game, things really get interesting as moral questions are raised."
Here is the full article, "It's plenty intense just watching the hoops action"

We have been notified of our Official Selection to the Short Mondays Short Film Festival which is currently held at CineSpace the first Monday of each Month. "Shoot-Out" is one of six films that will screen in front of 300+ Audience Members. The screenings are followed up with Q&A sessions with the Filmmakers.
Our movie will screen Monday, June 5th at CineSpace.
SHORT MONDAYS is a monthly short film festival. But its not only about the specific films that are being screened: it's also a place to see emerging (and established) filmmakers and network in a more casual atmosphere than a theater screening. When Sir Sean Connery attended, he was approachable because of the relaxed setting. Gary Oldman, Kevin Pollack, Bruce Davison, Allison Janney, Clancy Brown, Christine Taylor, Richard T. Jones, Claudia Schiffer, Jason Lewis and John Stamos are among the actors who have had shorts screened by Short Mondays. When they've been in town, these actors have come out to support their filmmakers.
Through Short Mondays, filmmakers have been accepted into other film festivals, such as the San Diego Film Festival. Directors have also obtained their first jobs directing full length features because of the work they screened at Short Mondays.
Short Mondays is run by Deirdre Murphy and Elise Rothberg, with invaluable assistance from their Advisory Board, and hosted by Tonight Show and E! Channel veteran Brett Walkow.
