Cranium Candy Entertainment and Foul Shot Productions Have Three More Feature Films That Have Been Picked Up for International Distribution

Los Angeles, CA, June 12, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Cranium Candy Entertainment, headed by Kirk Bowman, and Foul Shot Productions, headed by Danilo Mancinelli, have signed with Trillian Entertainment to represent three of their feature films, “Bittersweet Lies,” “Curse of the Pink Panties” and “Foul Shot,” for worldwide distribution. Trillian's parent company is Media 8 Entertainment, which has been very successful in the distribution of popular movies from Independent to Mainstream Oscar winning films such as Patty Jenkins’ “Monster.” Trillian, which focuses on lower budget Indies, will head to DISCCOP, the major film market in Budapest, Hungary starting June 16, MIPCOM in October and at AFM (American Film Market) in November. Ari Silber, Trillian’s Head of Distribution, will be representing Trillian’s movies at the markets.

Danilo Mancinelli made a connection with Ari Silber in March. Trillian’s catalogue is characterized by unique films of different genres. In addition to acquiring "Foul Shot," Trillian also signed "Curse of the Pink Panties" and “Bittersweet Lies.” "Foul Shot," directed by Mancinelli, has enjoyed success in the United States Home Video Market with retailers like Netflix and Blockbuster. "Foul Shot" was also a winner at the Indie Gathering Film Festival and an official selection at the Action on Film International Film Festival. “Curse of the Pink Panties,” directed by Bowman, has also been successful in the US Home Video market with Netflix. With the popularity of "Curse of the Pink Panties," a sequel titled "Snatched" is on the way, and is scheduled to be completed mid-summer. "Snatched!" will return Guido, the jewel thief from the original, played by Danilo Mancinelli, and we will also see Sophie, played by Kira Turnage, and Kelly, played by Danielle Kreinik, reprising their roles. New faces will include comedian Michael Q. Schmidt, and Debbie Day (as Guido's girlfriend.) “Snatched!” also stars Elisa Eliot, who starred in the feature, "Caregiver," and Jamie Carson from “Stupid Teenagers Must Die!” The Executive Producers of “Snatched!” are Paul Beeson, Damien Donnelly and Danilo Mancinelli, who is also the editor. Kirk Bowman returns as the director.

“Bittersweet Lies,” directed by Bowman, is a character-driven teen comedy/drama with Supernatural elements. It won Best Picture in the Golden Palmetto Film Competition, and will also be exposed to the international marketplace.

Kirk Bowman and Danilo Mancinelli have produced several projects together, including "Bloodsucking Babes from Burbank," and they are currently in production with "The Edge Chronicles." They also plan to make a sequel to "BSBFB" called "Bone-Appe'tit." Mancinelli also has other projects in the works with other talented filmmakers.

The new business relationship with Ari Silber, Danilo Mancinelli and Kirk Bowman opens new doors for both Cranium Candy Entertainment and Foul Shot Productions. "Having International Distribution of this caliber is an absolute blessing, and this will put our movies in front of a foreign audience," says Mancinelli. Distribution will include television, cable, DVD, video and overseas theatrical.
