Twitchy Dolphin Flix invites all filmmakers to submit your horror short or feature film before September 1 to be considered for screening at our 5th annual SCARLET WATERS event.
SCARLET WATERS will be held Saturday, October 27 and will, as always, feature a brand new slate of original Twitchy Dolphin Flix horror shorts. But we had so much fun opening up last year's event to showcase selected works from other independent filmmakers we decided to make it a new tradition.
As a micro-budget indie film company, Twitchy Dolphin realizes the challenges true independent filmmakers face; so rather than focus on competition, it is our goal to simply create an opportunity for everyone involved to reach new audiences. For this reason, any awards that may be presented are provided by sponsors, not Twitchy Dolphin, and no Twitchy Dolphin film will be eligible to win.
Follow SCARLET WATERS on Facebook to keep up with all the latest additions to the schedule and event details.
Writer director James Christopher offers his take on the evening and some photos of the fun in this Twitchy Knight blog post.
Twitchy Dolphin would like to extend a special thank you to event sponsors Ambassador Global Group and J. Black's Feel Good Lounge for helping make the event perfect. And since Twitchy-Palooza is really all about the music, we sincerely thank all the artists who performed. Lauren Hayes made her live performance debut to open the show and was followed by Brandon Whitlan, Clif Haley, Jon English, and Texas Renegade.

This Thursday, May 10, we invite all our fans to attend another huge Twitchy Dolphin Flix event. We call it TWITCHY-PALOOZA and we have arranged a FREE live concert featuring many of the musicians that have provided music for our movies.
The all-acoustic show at J. Black's Feel Good Lounge on W. 6th in Austin will kick off at 6:00 p.m. and showcase the musical talents of Lauren Hayes, Brandon Whitlan, Clif Haley, Jon English, and crowd-favorite Texas Renegade headlining.
This will be an extra-special event because it will also serve as our DVD release party for LOOK AT ME AGAIN, the intense film that won Best Drama at last year's Bare Bones International Film Festival and Honorable Mention at the 2010 Metropolitan Film Festival of New York.
Bare Bones Festival Best Actor nominee Richard C. Jones, along with Stephanie Dunbar and Brandi Blevins anchor an outstanding cast in the story of three sisters torn apart by tragedy, infidelity, and heartbreak who must fight for their family, or lose it forever. As everyday life delivers pain, sadness, and the search for forgiveness, LOOK AT ME AGAIN is a glimpse into the lives of very normal people whose worlds are turned upside down, all because they take for granted the ones they love most.
Twitchy Dolphin Flix would also like to thank our sponsors Ambassador Global Group and J. Black's Feel Good Lounge for helping us host this very special event.
Twitchy Dolphin Flix president James Christopher, who is also our ever-prolific writer and director, was honored as a finalist in the screenplay competition of the 2012 Beverly Hills International Film Festival for his original script THE DEVIL'S GUN (originally submitted as SAVIORS AND SINNERS).
Set in the West Texas town of Diablo, a portal for the U.S./Mexican drug and sex trade, an entire population lives in terror. When a covert FBI agent stumbles into the town, his cover blown and on the run, he must choose between looking the other way and waging a war to protect people he's never met.
This is the second major screenwriting recognition James has received this month alone. Just one week prior, he won the Silver Medal at the Bare Bones International Film Festival for his adaptation of Patti Sherlock's young adult novel "Letters From Wolfie".
The script, retitled SOLDIER DOG: LETTERS FROM WOLFIE, is the story of a young boy who sees his older brother as a hero for joining the Army to fight in Vietnam. He believes he can help too by loaning his beloved German Shepard Wolfie to the Army as well. But his starry-eyed view of the war and his government is slowly clouded as he receives letters from the front from Wolfie's handler and watches the turmoil of the day tear at his family and community.
In addition, writer/director James Christopher won the Silver Medal in the screenwriting competition for his adaptation of Patti Sherlock's young adult novel "Letters From Wolfie". A number of Twitchy Dolphin representatives participated in a well-attended reading of a scene from the script.
Twitchy Dolphin Flix was also honored with a very special award from festival organizers Oscar and Shiron "Butterfly" Ray. In recognition of our tireless efforts to promote our films, they created the first annual Oscar Dean Ray Marketing and PR Award. We couldn't have been more surprised or excited by this incredible honor, but we have always considered our marketing efforts as important as the films themselves. So we are especially delighted to have that effort recognized both for ourselves and for all future winners who apply their creative energy and talent to all aspects of indie filmmaking.
Twitchy Dolphin's music video for Janet Mayson's TONIGHT which is featured in TURKEY DAY was also nominated for Best Music Video.

Twitchy Dolphin Flix is excited to announce it's latest comedy TURKEY DAY has been accepted into the 2012 Bare Bones International Film and Music Festival and has been nominated for Best Romance.
The world premiere of TURKEY DAY will help anchor the festival with a closing night screening at 9:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 21 at the historic Roxy Theater in Muskogee, OK.
In addition, writer/director James Christopher has been nominated for Best Script for his screen-adaptation of Patti Sherlock's young adult novel "Letters From Wolfie," and Best Music video for Janet Mayson's TONIGHT which is featured in TURKEY DAY.
This will be a return trip to Muskogee for Twitchy Dolphin. Our drama LOOK AT ME AGAIN won Best Drama at the 2011 Bare Bones Festival, and we're ecstatic to be seeing some old friends. Many thanks to Oscar Dean Ray and Shiron "Butterfly" Ray and the rest of the Bare Bones Festival team for having us back.
LOOK AT ME AGAIN screens at 12 noon on Friday, January 13, 2012 at the Rustic Theater in Idyllwild, California. Director James Christopher, Cinematographer Chris Copple, and Actress Terissa Kelton will be in attendance.
Both films would go on to win several awards all over the country, including a Best Comedy Script award at the Action on Film International Film Festival in July. Between the two feature films, and including several short films, Twitchy Dolphin Flix was recognized over 40 times by different film festivals.
In addition to celebrating past successes, Twitchy Dolphin Flix went into production on another new feature and several more shorts. GOIN' GUERRILLA, the latest feature from Twitchy Dolphin Flix, is the hilarious story of a screenwriter who eschews the comforts of the studio system to chase his filmmaking dreams any way he can. Filmed in June and July, and starring Mark McCarver, Stephanie Dunbar and Benjamin Jabe, the film will start it's festival run in 2013.
All the new shorts screened at our Scarlet Waters IV in October. This year, for the first time, Twitchy welcomed several filmmakers from around the world to celebrate independent horror cinema. The event was a huge success and we're excited to see it continue in the future. Scarlet Waters V is set for October 27, 2012.
Finally, in the closing weeks of the year Twitchy Dolphin finished post-production on two new feature releases, the thriller Abram's Hand and the Thanksgiving comedy Turkey Day, setting the company up for another successful festival run in 2012.
We can't thank you enough for all of your support.
LOOK AT ME AGAIN actress Stephanie Dunbar took home the award for Best Actress. This marks the second time she's won an acting award for her performance.
SNATCH 'N' GRAB writer/director James Christopher took home the award for Best Produced Screenplay, the third time this film has won an award for its script. James recognized as a finalist for his adaptation of Patti Sherlock's novel LETTERS FROM WOLFIE.
With just one more festival appearance this year, the Oregon Film Awards help bring to a close an exceptional year for Twitchy Dolphin Flix in which we've taken home 29 festival awards. 2012 looks to be even more successful with the release of feature films ABRAM'S HAND and TURKEY DAY. Follow us on Facebook to keep up with all of the new developments.

VIP SCREENING - The inFectedTwitchy made its return to the festival where it all started, the San Antonio Horrific Film Festival. This is the fourth year for the festival and this was the best year yet.
Twitchy had four short films in the festival this year. LILITH'S DAUGHTERS and WEDDING NIGHT made their triumphant return to the big screen, while PHANTOM TRAGEDY and Francis Rodriguez' directorial debut VADE RETRO SATANA made their world premieres. The festival also featured the unveiling of the ABRAM'S HAND teaser.
All our films were well received and garnered more than their share of award nominations. ABRAM'S HAND won its first award with the trailer competition while Phillip Emanuel won Best Actor for VADE RETRO SATANA and James Christopher took home Best Director for PHANTOM TRAGEDY.
While at the festival, Twitchy received some wonderful news. We learned that SNATCH 'N' GRAB will make its foreign debut as part of Bridge Fest in Sarajevo, Bosnia. Director James Christopher is very excited about the festival. He spent time there as part of Operation Joint Guard in the mid 1990's while a member of the US Army's 2nd ACR.
James also received some more great news as the month wound down to a close. His script SAVIORS AND SINNERS was named a finalist in the Philadelphia Screenplay Fest and was named a 2nd Rounder in the Austin Film Festival. LETTERS FROM WOLFIE was also named a 2nd Rounder. Only scripts in the top 10% make it to the second round of the competition.
As the summer winds down, we're very excited about the momentum we've built and the direction we're heading.
These awards come just a few months after also winning Best Drama at the Bare Bones International Film Festival and Honorable Mention at the 2010 Metropolitan Film Festival of New York.
SNATCH 'N' GRAB also walked away with the Audience Choice award for features as well as Best Ensemble and Best Costume Design. Most recently, SNATCH 'N' GRAB was also named Best Comedy Script at the Action On Film International Film Festival in California.
Two music videos directed by James Christopher and produced by Twitchy Dolphin Flix also claimed awards. "Good At Goodbye" by Texas Renegade won Best Video while "Better Than Being Alone", also by Texas Renegade, won Audience Choice for music videos. Short film LILITH'S DAUGHTERS also screened at the fest.
We were very honored to be a part of the event and to be recognized amongst its impressive lineup of films from across the U.S. and Canada, many of which were also previous festival award winners. We hope to participate again and look forward to watching it grow into a true home for indie film in Houston.

Twitchy Dolphin remains humbled and grateful for the outstanding work everyone involved contributes and events like this are a constant reminder we have one of the best collections of talent in the business. We also can't say enough about the fantastic job Del Weston and his entire staff did hosting the festival and making us feel right at home. We are looking forward to opportunity to participate again next year and to see so many of our new filmmaker friends again.

This hilarious tale from the front lines of the battle of the sexes was named Best Comedy and Audience Favorite at the 2011 Aphrodite Cinefest International. Tired of being treated poorly by men, Selina (Stephanie Dunbar) enlists three of her equally frustrated friends (Christen Mays, Terissa Kelton, and Fiona Rene) and devises a game of conquest and fun to regain control of their destinies.

This short, originally released as part of our 2010 Scarlet Waters collection, has had a very successful festival run having screened in Green Bay, South Bend, and Pittsburgh as well as upcoming appearances in Houston and San Antonio. It is a film-noir inspired tale of two women. One is career detective Lilith Gardner (Stephanie Dunbar), the other a career prostitute (Ashley Serrao), who happen to cross paths on the day both of them have just had enough.
After winning Best Drama at the Bare Bones International Film Festival in April, this is the second time in four months Twitchy Dolphin Flix will be featured in a major festival that Moviemaker Magazine considers one of the top 25 worth the entry fee. Earlier in the year, SNATCH 'N' GRAB was also named Best Comedy at the Aphrodite Cinefest International.
This will be the largest film festival, both in terms of size and market location, that Twitchy Dolphin has so far been invited to participate; marking yet another huge milestone in our effort to build a top-quality independent production company in Austin, Texas. As always, we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to our dedicated casts and crews for their efforts.
Press release from Action on Film International Film Festival:
Twitchy Dolphin Flix's multiple award-winning films LOOK AT ME AGAIN and SNATCH 'N' GRAB will be screening at this summer's annual Action on Film Festival in Pasadena, California
Pasadena, CA - Twitchy Dolphin Flix's team of filmmakers will be screening their two full-length feature films at the seventh annual Action on Film International Film Festival between July 22nd and 30th. Attracting filmmakers, writers, fans, and celebrities, the AOF Festival will feature more than 600 independent films in old-town Pasadena, California.
Twitchy Dolphin's award-winning film LOOK AT ME AGAIN is the story of three sisters who are each starting their own families and dealing with the obstacles that arise within their respective relationships.
James Christopher, writer and director of Twitchy Dolphin's four-person team says, "the film portrays the interconnectedness between families, in this case sisters, and how one event can create a ripple effect amongst them."
The team's other feature, SNATCH 'N' GRAB focuses on the dynamics of power within sexual relationships. Appealing to both males and females, Christopher says, "it shows how females can be just as crass as males when it comes to relationships and how some women just don't realize the amount of control they actually have."
The four-person team of graduates from the University of Texas' renowned film school have built their company with the goal of growing organically. "We want to show that there are alternatives to big Hollywood. We want to grow in a way that makes sense," Christopher said. "We make the films that we want to make, always keeping in mind the question of 'what's the point?'"
Twitchy Dolphin Flix's award-winning films will be showcasing at July's annual Action on Film Festival. Featuring screenings, dinners, an award show, and its famed red carpet event, the festival and celebration will attract thousands of talented filmmakers, celebrities, and fans alike.
For tickets and more information on the upcoming Action on Film Festival, please visit www.aoffest.com. For a sneak preview, tune in to NBC Los Angeles on Saturday nights at 2:30 a.m. to watch festival creator Del Weston's show, Action on Film Television.
LOOK AT ME AGAIN continued it's award-winning festival run at the Love Unlimited Film Festival in Portland, Oregon claiming an Honorable Mention award and the coveted People's Choice Award for Features. Even the LOOK AT ME AGAIN poster, designed by our marketing director Jessica Bybee-Dziedzic, won Best Poster Art in Feature Film and tied for Honorable Mention as Best of Fest Poster Art.
The cool weather and scenic beauty of Portland provided an ideal setting, and organizers created a enthusiastic and supportive atmosphere for all who attended. We also had the opportunity to discuss the making of LOOK AT ME AGAIN in this Q&A with one of the festival organizers.

On Friday, May 27, fan favorite FUNNY BOOKS will make it's fourth festival appearance as part of the Comicpalooza Film Festival in Houston, Texas. The film screens at the George R. Brown Convention Center at 5:00 p.m. You can meet the filmmakers and award-winning actor Mike Shirley at the screening or at the UnderDogs.com distribution booth. Stop by, say hi, and get your picture taken on the red carpet.

The film screens at 4:00 p.m. at The Variant in Portland, Oregon (4810 Northeast Garfield Avenue - map). If you're in the area, stop in a see the film and meet some of the filmmakers.
It's a big weekend for us and we can't thank the casts, crews, and fans enough for all of their support.
This will, as of now, be the third festival screening for LOOK AT ME AGAIN after having premiered to a Best Drama award at the Bare Bones International Film Festival last April and being awarded at the Love Unlimited Film Festival in May.
We're very proud to announce that our short film LILITH'S DAUGHTERS will make its fourth festival appearance on Saturday, June 4 as part of the Pittsburgh Horror Film Festival. It joins another Twitchy short, WEREBITCHES, to screen as part of a lineup spanning 48 hours of continuous programming in 2 screening rooms at the Monroeville Convention Center. We're very proud that both these little film have gotten the attention they have! Thanks again to the cast and crew for all of your hard work!
In addition to Pittsburgh, LILITH'S DAUGHTERS has also screened at the Green Bay Film Festival, the City of Death International Film Festival in Huntsville, Texas, and it has been selected for the San Antonio Horrific Film Fest in August.
We couldn't be more excited or proud to announce that LOOK AT ME AGAIN claimed the award for Best Drama at this year's Bare Bones International Film Festival.
As one of Moviemaker Magazine's top 25 festivals worth the entry fee in 2010, and 2009's 20 best festivals for new and emerging filmmakers, this represents a major milestone for Twitchy Dolphin Flix. A million thank you's to the cast and crew of this film for blessing us with their talents and hard work. Clearly, it did not go in vain.
The festival was a blast. All the folks in Muskogee were so welcoming; and we had the chance to meet and hang out with other filmmakers from Texas to California to Canada and beyond. We made many new friendships that will form strong bonds as we continue working our way up in the industry.
LOOK AT ME AGAIN premiered as the Saturday evening showcase event at the historic Roxy Theater, and it was humbling to see how well the flick was received. Winning the Best Drama award was just the cherry on top of an already incredible week that reinforced we're really on the right track.
We can't thank the folks at Bare Bones enough. Shiron and Oscar Ray have created a very special festival that gives folks without access to multi-million dollar budgets an opportunity to showcase their work to a caring audience and a wide network of film industry participants. All anyone can ask for is an opportunity; and they work hard year-round to provide one.
We also can't thank our fans enough. We are fighting an uphill battle, and knowing that we have so much support from you makes it all a little easier and infinitely more worthwhile.
Check out the video of our special arrival to the premiere and the post screening Q&A. Also learn how anyone, including you, can earn a credit in our next film GOIN' GUERRILLA, set to begin filming in Austin in June.
LOOK AT ME AGAIN will screen next as part of the Love Unlimited Film Festival in Portland, Oregon on Memorial Day.
