THE WORLD PREMIERE!!!
 

Hooray! The movie is completed and here is the happy cast and crew who managed to make it to the fun, fun, fun world-premiere party held at the offices of Roku Technological, set up by Jason Wauer. Unfortunately he had to leave early and thus missed being commemorated in this photo for the ages. Pictured are from left to right: Eric Thornett, Dan Mikeska, Angela Moyer, Ken Hudok, David Stewart, Mica, Amy Thornett, Jennifer Reitz, Essence Anderson, and Cash Flagg Jr.

 

  
 
 
    Here is a picture of a cast and crew who act like they have not just seen an incredible work of art.    
     
 
 
    And as with all things associated with Piranha Pictures, chaos eventually reigns.    

 

BEST PICTURE NOMINEE AT THE B-MOVIE FILM FESTIVAL!!!!!
So okay, "23 Hours" was nominated for Best Picture, competing amongst films starring Billy Zane and Geoffrey Rush. Pretty high-caliber, wouldn't you say? David Stewart and Eric Thornett represented the film, traveling to the wilds of Syracuse, New York. The two brave men arrived at three in the morning and valiantly stayed at a scary hotel run by two guys getting drunk at the front counter. Their room was nicely decorated with cigarette burns and roaches. After leaning a chair up against the door and getting a good three hours of sleep, it was off to the fest!
     
 
Look, they made it! Luckily so, for they drove around aimlessly for an hour trying to find the theatre. The blame can all be laid at the filthy feet of Yahoo's crappy directions. Anyway, they made it and watched half of Billy Zane's vanity project that will probably never be seen again since an evil bank now owns it due to their being owed some serious cash. Then they ate breakfast. Fascinating.
 

 

 
Here is the place the movies were shown at. I think it was called the Westcott something-or-other. A very nice place to have a film festival. The people who threw this great bash were the good folk at Sub Rosa, headed by Ron Bonk. They are a leading distributor of underground b-movies, which is why this was called the B-Movie Film Fest. See? Anyway, it was very well organized and ran smoothly. The movie was very appreciated by the audience, which is so much nicer than the usual.
  

 

 
Here is Eric hanging out with starlet Roxanne Michaels. Of course, she can be seen in tons of movies by Troma and E.I Productions among others. Seconds after this picture was snapped, Eric was holding his bloody nose. No one will talk about what happened, except for David saying "he deserved it."
 
Here's our heroes with Dwight Kemper, reviewer for Videoscope Magazine. Mr. Kemper was kind enough to let these two poorly-dressed dregs take a picture with him. After that, David and Eric headed back to the comfort of Virginia. The festival lasted another day, but there were commitments they had to take care of. David had to be at a family gathering, while Eric had to... do...something most likely. Anyway, the fest was a great success, and though "23 Hours" lost out to Billy Zane's movie, at least the rights and negative still belong to Piranha Pictures and not an evil bank of evil.
  
 
PSYCHOTRONIC SHOWING IN WASHINGTON D.C.!
 
Wow! Look! Wings for only 25 cents each! You could eat a million of them! Oh yeah, and "23 Hours" is playing there too.
  

 
 
Here's the inside of the fabled "Lucky Bar," where the Psychotronic showings are held every Tuesday. It's quite the feather in Piranha Pictures' cap to have a showing here, and everyone is properly humbled. And driven to ego-fueled rampages. Here Eric Thornett and Cash Flagg Jr. (standing) hang with Carl Cephas, who is the main man behind these showings. After the showing, Carl entertained them by showing clips from horrible Hong Kong movies that involved people being skinned alive and vomiting up centipedes.
