FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
June 30, 2004
Portland's Guerrilla Productions and Lurker Films announced today their plan to re-release and distribute the animated feature film "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath".
According to Lovecraftian filmmaker Edward Martin III ("The Call of Cthulhu", "The Testament of Tom Jacoby", "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath", "Innsmouth Legacy"), "I think this is as close as you can get to a perfect partnership. Andrew Migliore, more than anyone I know, has his finger on the lurching, uncontrollable pulse of Lovecraft-based movies, and we're really, really honored that he's asked us to be charter members of the H. P. Lovecraft Collection. We've already remastered the audio for the new project and are looking forward to spending more of our time making the movies we want to see."
Andrew Migliore of Lurker Films says "We are excited to be re-releasing The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath on DVD. Based on Jason Thompson's imaginative and fantastic artwork, Dreamquest takes the viewer on a journey through the panoramic vistas of Lovecraft's dream-world locations for the first time. We also plan to round out the DVD with other short animated films such as Geoff Clark's In the Vault and Richard Corben's The Canal."
"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.
Guerrilla Productions, fueled almost entirely by caffeine, released their first feature, "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath" in October 2003 and has completed four short movies since. GP is currently is shooting a new short entitled "Innsmouth Legacy", and in preproduction on a live action horror/thriller. Not bad for someone less than a year old.
Lurker Films, Inc. (formerly Beyond Books) was founded in 1995 by Andrew Migliore to munch popcorn where cultists fear to tread, producing DVDs, Videos, and Audio CDs of the famous, infamous and just plain obscure films and television shows that have been directly or indirectly inspired by Lovecraft's work.
