FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
September 11, 2003
Portland Oregon's Guerrilla Productions announces the scheduled premiere of their feature-length animated adventure "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath", based on H. P. Lovecraft's 1926 fantasy novel.
Lovecraftian filmmaker Edward Martin III ("The Call of Cthulhu", "The Testament of Tom Jacoby") brings this exotic and fantastic novel to life with the help of art from Jason B. Thompson's 1997-1999 comic book adaptation and music from San Francisco's Cyokha Grace (of Land of the Blind).
"The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath", one of only two novels written by Lovecraft, tells the story of Randolph Carter, an adventurer and a dreamer, who seeks out a marvelous Sunset City previously glimpsed only in dream. His journey takes him through outrageous adventures on earth, the moon, and the nameless Void. He parleys with such creatures as zoogs, ghouls, Shantaks, toad-things, night-gaunts, goat-men, deadly gods, and of course the most mysterious creatures of all -- cats. He is helped, betrayed, hurled into the depths, flown to great heights and finally reaches the great onyx castle of Kadath, where he intends to confront the gods of Earth to admit him to his Sunset City. But even in this ultimate citadel, the forces of darkness gather to confound him...
"The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath" will premiere at the 2003 H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival in Portland, OR, the weekend of October 9 - 12, at the Hollywood Theater: 4122 NE Sandy Blvd., Portland, OR. Also scheduled for release soon will be a standalone Companion CD, "Quest for Kadath" by Cyoakha Grace, (of Land of the Blind), which includes new original works by Cyoakha, Mark Brown and several other guest composers/musicians and contains full-length songs from the movie soundtrack. Also, look soon for a graphic novel by Jason Thompson/Mockman Press, reprinting his 5-issue adaptation of Lovecraft's book.
