From Scott Bunt of "Sea of Dust"


NOTE: Scott's film won the Grand Prize for "Best Feature Film" at the recent 2008 RI International Horror Film Festival.

Greetings Everyone,

Pauline and I would like to personally thank all of you who had opportunity to attend October 25th's U.S. Premiere of SEA OF DUST at the Rhode Island International Horror Film Festival. The event proved a tremendous amount of fun and we're pleased by the reviews that have already resulted. For those of you who were unable to attend, we've listed a number of these below (and will do our best to keep you updated as additional press comes in).

First up, Award Winning author K Patrick Malone, whose delirious books "Inside a Haunted Mind" and "The Digger's Rest" are available through Amazon.com, drums up his Hammer reminiscences at www.Horror-Web.com. His four-star review compares the film to "a comfort food," calling it "filled with fun, laughs, gore and a message...(SEA OF DUST) offers us baby boomer/post baby boomers a retro place in our collective psyches where we can just settle in and be comforted with a nice big box of popcorn and remember what it was like to be that kid again."

Elsewhere on the web, the lovely and talented Rebecca Edmonston lavishes her own praise, indicating that SEA "brings you to places that are both visually astonishing and frighteningly seductive...SEA OF DUST is not at all the typical horror experience, which is what makes it so exceptional." Read her entire entry here:

And somehow...don't ask me for an explanation...our intrepid critic Edward X Young has managed to have SEA OF DUST included in today's Halloween edition of The New York Daily News as "One of the Twenty Scariest Horror Movies of All Time." Somebody slap us! We must be dreaming this, especially since the illustration is from an unrelated movie. But look carefully at the article's opening page and you'll notice the archetypal SEA still:

Obviously, it's been quite a week!

Best,
Scott and Pauline
