• KOLDCAST TV SIGNS LUMINA THE WEB SERIES!

  Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 8:47AM / Standard Entry

  We are so happy to announce that cutting edge American web TV channel KoldCast TV has signed LUMINA for distribution! 
  

  

  “This past week has been amazing,” says LUMINA writer and director Jennifer Thym.  “Working with KoldCast TV has been fantastic and heartening - it's rare to meet people who are truly passionate about their work.  Web series is still a burgeoning medium, and KoldCast's strategy of being selective about its programming and pro-active about marketing is exactly what the field needs right now.  I'm so excited that LUMINA is now on their slate - it's a big step for a new Hong Kong production like ours!"

  Marti Resteghini, VP, Network Programming at KoldCast TV, says that KoldCast has been looking for a special series with which to launch its new International channel. “LUMINA is a thrilling fairytale about love, longing and greed. It’s a timeless story that just so happens to be taking place in Hong Kong.  Jennifer Thym’s strikingly beautiful series has raised the bar for web programming - both here and abroad,” says Resteghini.

  This a great partnership opportunity for us at LUMINA and we're excited to make new friends and reach more viewers.  Thank you so much to everyone who has helped spread the word about LUMINA - we wouldn't be here without all of your support!!

  Hey everyone,
  
  We're less than a week away from launching LUMINA the Web Series!  We're kicking things off with a double webisode release on Tuesday, September 8, 2009, and we will release a new webisode every Tuesday thereafter.  There are nine exciting webisodes in the first season - we hope you enjoy watching them as much as we enjoyed making them!
  
  If you are in Hong Kong, we're hosting a press conference at 5 pm on September 8, 2009, at Scirocco, 1/F 10-12 Staunton Street, SoHo.  We will have a surprise guest speaker, we will screen the first two webisodes for everyone, and we will have a Q&A with the cast and director afterwards.  Stop by and say hi!

• Geeking Out over the HK Indie Film Scene!

  Monday, May 18, 2009 3:35PM / Standard Entry

  LUMINA is on the front page of UberSciFiGeek and HKfilm.net!
  
  http://geek.ravenkai.com/
  
  And
  
  http://www.hkfilm.net
  
  And being mentioned in the same paragraph as Neil Gaiman is just bewildering and beyond awesome.  Also big thanks to Lily Tang for helping us out with the Dutch subtitle translations for the trailer.  You rock!
  
  And last but not least, if you haven't checked out the new Y4 The Death Loop Trailer - do it!!  It features our gorgeous Laetitia (Emilie Guillot) and ferocious Damien (Simon Yin), and it's written and produced by our talented sound designer Ben Robinson and AD'd by the one and only Billy Lau.
