Big Night of Premieres!

We here at Lionbelly are getting awfully excited about Saturday, September 26th, 2009. Why? Thank you for asking! It's because...

WE WILL BE PREMIERING EDENWOOD AND THE FIRST EPISODE OF DARKIVES, THAT'S WHY!!!

Yes, you heard it right-- our almost-3-years-in-the-making surreal cowboy comedy feature EDENWOOD is finally going to have its coming out party, along with the world debut of the pilot episode of our "supernatural investigator charlatans in trouble" horror-comedy series, DARKIVES. And you are invited. No, really-- you are!

The premiere is September 26, 2009, 8:00 PM, at the EMU Student Center Auditorium. The cost for all this entertainment? Free, baby. That's right-- it's a single payer system, and Lionbelly is the payer.

Here's the brand-spanking new trailer for Edenwood, and the official synopsis:



Dallas and Thursday, the infamous Fortune Brothers, are two cowboy heroes who never shrink from a challenge, even when it's WAY over their heads. What they find in the candy‑colored community of Edenwood will make them question their own Personal Value Quotients, as they are sucked into a mystery that pits the Haves against Some Other Haves in a battle for the ideal consumerist identity. Along the way, they will find romance, danger, lots of gold guns, and several parties. There will be barbecues and fisticuffs, videogames and singing, beautiful villains and men in ten thousand dollar suits, henchmen with PhDs and many many products and services.

Will the Fortune Brothers prevail in this brave new world of excess and frivolity? Will the residents of Edenwood survive a slab of good old‑fashioned Frontier Justice? Or will Social Club President Platinum Vallance have her way? And what of the mysterious Flip Willickers and his Value Seekers?

Though we aren't fancy enough to have a "real" rating, the evening is pretty much a PG affair. The movies don't have any cussing or nudity (sorry!), but they do have a few adult themes, a pinch of the old ultra-violence, and in the case of DARKIVES, some cheesy ghost effects that probably wouldn't scare anybody, but you never know with youths...

We hope to see you there!
