Death Wish Headed to iTunes for the Holidays

We’re very proud to announce that the Citizen 11 produced film Death Wish has been picked up by Shorts International for a Christmas 2010 release on iTunes.

Shorts International, who acquired domestic and international rights, has an exclusive deal with iTunes for short films, so it’s amazing to have this opportunity.

Rights for “Death Wish” go to Shorts International

Of course it had to happen during my daughter’s school concert, but there I was on the school playground closing a 7-year distribution deal with Shorts International, the best option a short filmmaker can have.

With their reach, we not only get our film globally on iTunes and Amazon Prime Video but also onto the ShortsHD channel in multiple territories. And this is perfect timing as our Christmas-themed story will be part of their Christmas shorts program.

Very excited to sign off on this and see how thing play out.

Citizen 11 at IN10

Citizen 11 producer Timo Puolitaipale is attending IN10: The Interactive Exchange in Toronto on September 13-14 with the multi-platform documentary Little Wheel.

Special thanks to BC Film for providing Passport to Markets funding to Citizen 11 for this project and event. Little Wheel is an amazingly worthwhile project and we urge you to get to know it better at www.indiegogo.com/Little-Wheel

That’s a wrap for Monster!

With an amazingly grueling few days behind us, I can say with utmost certainty that Monster will be a beautiful film.

The cast and crew worked so hard in a remote location that had its share of logistical difficulties, and everyone pulled together to make a great film.

Producer Richard Johnson will lead the post-production team and we’re looking forward to seeing the cuts and animation as it unfolds.

Monster steps

Citizen 11’s Timo Puolitaipale will be producing the Hot Shots Award-winning short film Monster for Vancouver director Deborah Burns.

We’re looking forward to this opportunity to work with Deborah on this fabulous project that incorporates live action and CGI.

Location scouting is underway…
