WORLDFEST 41 May 14, 2008 01:09PM
Just received word that The Portent is a GOLD REMI WINNER in the Suspense/Thriller Category in Worldfest 41. This is a long running festival with history and tradition. We are very excited and proud at this recognition. Ours was a "no" budget movie, so this encouragement makes our day.

HOBOKEN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL May 08, 2007 01:58PM
Good News. The Unseen is a finalist in the Hoboken Intl Film Festival. The support for this project has been overwhelming. I post information regarding the screenplay because The Unseen and The Portent are two deeply interwoven projects and each has influenced and shaped the other considerably. The Portent was the result of my obsession with The Unseen and The Unseen has been re-written considerably after The Portent was finished based on experiences from the film.

The Portent won a Honorable Mention from the 2006 Accolade Competition for best short film. The competition was created to honor and give recognition to outstanding craft and creativity in film, video and television industry. Entries are judged by professionals in the film and television industry. It is big pat in the back for me and my team to receive this recognition.

One of the producers, Shobana Ramanathan along with PR Managers Chitra Visvanathan, Gowri Rao and Kartik Visvanathan answered questions about the movie, its making and presented the film at the festival. The festival director said, "At first we were concerned about the violence in the movie but the story was too powerful to not show in the festival. We are very happy that The Portent is a part of the festival and look forward to viewing PRS Pictures future projects".
Beverly Films Festival Mar 04, 2007 11:02AM
The Unseen, a feature screenplay with the same protagonists (Ben and Daryl Fisher) from The Portent has been selected for the 2007 Beverly Hills Film Festival. It is an entirely different adventure that happens on Christmas Eve. This news follows recognitions from American Accolades (semi-finalist), Project Greenlight 3 (Quarterfinalist) and Scriptapalooza (Quarterfinalist) for the screenplay and is HUGE :) These stories, both The Portent and The Unseen are very close to my heart. I seem to be always coming back to them and this breakthrough further motivates me. Cheers!
Barebones Film Festival Mar 04, 2007 10:59AM

Fingers crossed... the screenplay will do well in the festival and there will be more help in getting the movie made. This is exciting news following the other recognitions for the screenplay. This is a big morale booster:)
