I think it's worth noting that the filmmaker is all of 21 years old, which is pretty remarkable, I would say.  Amazing what the youth of today can accomplish!

There are now posters available that each feature a solo representation of Jerry, Lara, and KLS in their respective characterizations in the film.  I think in Lara's, she's actually holding a tarot card.  Pretty cool.

The posters and lots of other goodies are on the website mentioned in the press release included in the Dec. 16 Shadowgram update.

I guess eventually they'll release it on DVD? I found no mention of this on the official website... Then again I could have missed it! It really does look very cool. I'd love to see it for sure!!

The director says that he's hoping for a DVD release, I guess sometime in 2013--not clear just when.  He mentioned wanting to show it at festivals.  I guess we'll see what happens.  (He obviously means film festivals, not necessarily DS Festivals.)

Thanks for the info!! I watched the trailer again! I'm just so glad that some of our DS alum are still around to do such interesting work! Jerry's voice is just so perfect and creepy.... Love it, love it!
