THE ROTTWEILER AWARD

Razor Eaters was the recipient of the Rottweiler Award at the inaugural Short Poppy Awards (www.shortpoppy.com) held in Melbourne on Friday 29th July.

The Rottweiler was granted to our team for their tenacity in overcoming adversity to complete a successful and award-winning feature film. It was noted that our hardships included a police investigation into the content of the film, and our director being shot with a blank.

Shannon Young, Paul Moder and Nick Levy were in attendance at the industry event, which included presentations by the head of the Screen Producer's Association of Australia (SPAA), Geoff Brown, and new Film Finance Corporation (FFC) member Tait Brady.

It was yet another successful evening for Razor Eaters.

FOREIGN SALES AGENT: SHORELINE

In late July, a contract was signed with Shoreline Entertainment Inc (www.shorelineentertainment.com) to represent Razor Eaters as our foreign sales agent.

Shoreline will handle all territories outside of North America and will seek to find appropriate distributors for the film.

We are extremely pleased to have found the right sales agent for Razor Eaters, as Shoreline is a well-respected company with a great track-record, and we look forward to success at the markets in late 2005 and early 2006.

5 STAR HEIDI MARTINUZZI REVIEW

Los Angeles Film Journalist Heidi Martinuzzi has reviewed Razor Eaters. She awarded the film 5 stars and described it as 'the best independent film I have ever seen'.

She further commented that '...the near flawless script is full of twists and turns...Razor Eaters is aggressively violent and in-your-face...an Australian film that seems to rival its predecessors (Romper Stomper and Chopper) in terms of infamy...'
