TO PREMIERE AT 2009 SLAMDANCE FILM FESTIVAL

New York, NY - December 17, 2008 - C Plus Pictures, a production company that specializes in creating character driven independent features, is proud to announce the acceptance of ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE UNDEAD to the Slamdance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. The film will have its world premiere at the festival on Monday, January 19 at 8:30 PM.

ROSENCRANTZ has an all-star cast including: Jake Hoffman (Arrested Development), Devon Aoki (Sin City), John Ventimiglia (The Soprano’s), Kris Lemche (Final Destination 3), Ralph Macchio (Karate Kid), Jeremy Sisto (Six Feet Under), Joey Kern (Lucky You) and Waris Ahuwalia (The Darjeeling Limited). Sean Lennon is scoring the film.

Worldwide rights to the film are available through Traction Media.

This independent feature film is the debut of Director Jordan Galland, who also penned the original screenplay. The film was shot using a Red Camera, the revolutionary new camera known for its jaw-dropping imagery. The Red Camera is capable of recording resolutions up to 4520 x 2540 using a Super 35-sized CMOS sensor, and will level the playing field for independent filmmakers.

ROSENCRANTZ centers around Julian Marsh (Hoffman), an out of work lothario, who scores a break as the director of an off-Broadway play. The play is a bizarre adaptation of Hamlet written by a pale Romanian (Ventimiglia) who is actually a master vampire. A perfect combination of low-brow humor and high-brow aesthetics, the film follows an eccentric cast of characters to explain the connection between Hamlet, the Holy Grail, and some very hungry vampires.

The Slamdance Film Festival, now in its 15th year, celebrates the independent works of first-time filmmakers. This year’s festival has approximately 100 films screening between January 15th and 23rd. ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE UNDEAD will be screened on January 19th at 8:30 PM and January 22nd at 12:30 PM at Treasure Mountain Inn in Park City.
