Distribution - about to pull the trigger...

I now believe Gil Holland's film mantra: "There is an Independent Film God."

We have had 3 offers on the table for theatrical distribution -- since freakin' July!
But as we've heard, and we are learning all the time, these things take forever.
A 2006 release, we realized recently,is going to be dang-near impossible.

Bad day when that truth hit home.
My moose was honked!
Really honked!

Until, that is, this stat came roiling into mix: There are more than 100 films being released between now and Christmas (that's more than one-a-day).

Insanely fierce competition at the box office.
Perhaps unprecedented, I don't know for sure.

But I will say this with certainty, the films being released during that stint will have their work cut out for them grabbing eyeballs from each other and pinching each other's asses-in-seats.

So - thank you Indie Film God! - it looks like we'll avoid that, and make 2007 the year for American Cannibal hits theaters.

As soon as we choose what deal (and ink it... and get a release date) we'll post it.
