Echelon Entertainment Takes Interest in OCTOBER 30TH

Nov 05 - Los Angeles, CA. Gloria Morrison of Echelon Entertainment and Linda Palmer of Runaway Productions have negotiated a production/distribution deal for OCTOBER 30TH, the second Patrick Hludzenski script optioned by Palmer.

Echelon Entertainment is stepping up their acquisitions with ten projects they plan to produce and distribute. All are headed toward a theatrical release. OCTOBER 30TH is the first project in the slate. As of now, Echelon is negotiating with several film commissions in a few film friendly states for the entire slate. We're hoping to release OCTOBER 30TH halloween weekend, states Morrison.

The story centers on three guys headed back to NYC from a business trip when they hear that fateful Orson Welles radio address of War of the Worlds. Their radio cuts out and fearing for their life they steal supplies, pick up a stranger and get in a bad car accident that leaves them seriously hurt. Their fear and paranoia get the best of them and they turn on each other, only to discover at the end, something far worse than their imaginations was really after them.

Early this year, Runaway Productions purchased and produced Hludzenski's LOOK @ ME, currently in distribution with IFM World Releasing.
