2003 Rhode Island International Film Festival
August 5-10, 2003

We've just returned from this, our first festival with DEAD SEXY. Old friend and filmmaker Ilo Orleans was there with a great film of his own called CLICK and had this to say about festivals:

"There are really three kinds of festivals. Business festivals, audience festivals and filmmaker festivals."

Rhode Island truly is a filmmakers' festival. We met some incredibly nice people, some really talented filmmakers and a great time was had by all. Any filmmaker or film buff looking for a great festival and group of people should put the RIIFF at the top of their list.

We also had the great pleasure of working with the general manager of Pulse, Mike Furtado. Citysearch.com calls Mike's establishment "the hottest dance club in Providence," and we whole-heartedly agree. Mike not only promoted our film even before we arrived in town by passing out t-shirts, baseball caps, badges and screening cards, but he hosted an incredible DEAD SEXY premiere party complete with DVD giveaways of the film, an incredible drag show (we wish we knew your name, sister, 'cause you were HOT!) and a filmmaker's VIP area. It was a great night and we highly recommend Pulse to anyone visiting the Providence area!
