Thomas Newman who is the writer/producer and director of the $5000 epic zombie film “Bong Of The Dead” seems to be going places fast. Here is some exciting updated information about the film and its growing success.

Bong of the Dead has garnered some great reviews from industry heavyweights like Rue Morgue and Tommy Chong. Rue Morgue has also just released their latest issue of their wildly circulated and much respected magazine with a full-page article about Bong Of The Dead! In it they say “Bong of the Dead has cult hit smeared all over it!”

Tommy Chong the king of pot humour says of Bong of the Dead, “This is a sure winner!”. It was rumoured Tommy might make an appearance at the Vancouver movie premier of Bong of the Dead on May 15 at the Rio Theatre, and tickets are going fast.

“I’m pleased to announce that my film has been selected as part of the Cannes Independent Film Festival official selection (CANNES ) The film will be premiering in France at the festival this MAY 12th and 14th. It will also be premiering on MAY 15th in Vancouver BC at the Rio Theatre.” said the director of Bong of the Dead, Thomas Newman.

When asked how he feels to have gotten this far with his film, Thomas Newman replied, “I’ve been incredibly busy pounding the pavement hard to get the word out about my struggles as a filmmaker with no budget or studio support to make this movie. I set out to hit a homerun by making a movie that would appeal to a mass audience and become an instant cult hit classic. I know that some said it was too ambitious for a no budget film, which is the exact reason why I had to do it!”

When asked what else might be in store for the movie Thomas added, “I have received tentative invites from MOLINS DE REI HORROR FILM FESTIVAL as well as The Traverse City Film Festival (TRAVERSE CITY FILM FESTIVAL) was founded by and still run by Michael Moore. Each time the phone rings it seems to bring good news.”
