I agree, this is probably a winter release. I know it was shown at the Sacramento Film Festival this past August, so the movie is done. Its just a matter of getting someone to distribute it.

Hmm...One thing that will be interesting is seeing how this site changes when the movie is released. DerbyTalk.com is on their links page. Right now that isn't a big deal, only pineheads are visiting the movie site anyway. But once that thing is released we could see a big influx of users here... :) The cat will be out of the bag!

I found this site which has some quotes from the marketing director of the film.

Seems like a late 2004 release is not likely at this point. I wonder if they have considered advertising in Scouting or Boy's Life magazines to help get the word out?
