THE CROW: PURGATORY (SE) SCREENS AT HEROFEST DURING SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON WEEKEND 08'

You heard it first! Torrid Productions will host an exclusive screening during the weekend of the
SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON (The largest West Coast Comic Convention) held on July 24-27, 2008.

The screening will also debut the pilot webisode of Redcape Cinema's EVE: Beauty and the Blade. Both directors - Ron Santiano, Desciple, cast and crew from both projects will be at hand to celebrate independent comicbook inspired action films.

PURGATORY to go Crowless? Yes, The purpose for the hype at Comic-con is to attract investors to have Purgatory be told in it's original form - taking flight without The Crow affiliation. This will allow us to produce the future of this franchise with an actual budget.

JUST IN!
