Passenger Pigeons going to SXSW 2010
We are incredibly pleased to announce that Passenger Pigeons is an official selection at this year's South by Southwest festival in Austin, TX. Many congratulations and thanks to everyone involved. If you're planning on checking out the festival, make sure you find us and say hi, and you should also check out Cold Weather, one of the headlining films of the week, which features several Papercookie friends on both sides of the camera. To see the whole incredible lineup, visit SXSW's Film page.

You can also visit the new official Passenger Pigeons website. It's still under construction, but bookmark the space for more videos, press information, etc. We also have a new YouTube channel, Papercookie Presents, which has some Neutral and Passenger Pigeons clips with more to come.

New teaser trailer for Passenger Pigeons!
The latest Papercookie Production, Martha Stephens' Passenger Pigeons, has wrapped, and you can already watch a teaser trailer right here. Stay tuned for information on public screenings and more. Also, we're already keeping busy with our next film, L'Orfeo and Elysium, which is in early stages of production which you can follow on Facebook. Much more to come, dear sweet friends...

Screening @ West End Movies in Greenville, SC - July 31st @ 9:30 PM!
We'll be having the first Greenville showing of Neutral on July 31st, at West End Movies, a new downtown establishment that specializes in cult, classic, and rare films. Several longtime Greenville residents worked on Neutral, including co-producers and Papercookie co-founders John Ferrer and Aubrey Curtis, so this will be a big event. Tickets are $5. Starts at 9:30 on the dot, and make sure to come say hello.

New in pre-production: Passenger Pigeons
Visit our latest film page for Martha Stephens' Appalachian drama Passenger Pigeons. The project will be filming soon in Asheville and Kentucky, and is currently seeking additional funding and cast. You can currently donate to the film online and follow its day-to-day progress.

See the movie (for free) before the release party!
On Tuesday, May 19 (two days before the DVD release party at Grey Eagle) at 8 PM, Firestorm Cafe and Books at 48 Commerce St. in downtown Asheville is hosting a free Neutral screening preceded by a short acoustic set by Jason Smith (Night's Bright Colors) and writer/director Joe Chang (Neapolitan Children), who both collaborated on the original Neutral soundtrack. See the film on Tuesday, celebrate it on Thursday, watch your fresh and crisp Digital Video Disc in the privacy of your home on Friday. (And don't forget you can pre-order the DVD now if you can't make these events.)


May 4, 2009: Upcoming DVD Release Party
Our latest project, Joe Chang's Top-Grit-award-winning Neutral, is coming to DVD on May 21st. To celebrate, we're putting on a show at the legendary Grey Eagle that night, with performances by Night's Bright Colors, Kovacs and the Polar Bear, and our own Neapolitan Children, plus general good times, including a first look at footage from Joe's next project Days of War, Nights of Love. $6 cash-only entry fee, 9 PM at 185 Clingman Ave., Asheville, NC. In the meantime, please go pre-order Neutral on DVD right here and now.


May 1, 2009: New website and STORE!
We're updating the website this week to be cleaner, more functional, and easier to update after a couple years of promising to do so. Sorry if things don't work quite right at first. The best news is that the new site will be equipped to sell our brand-new NEUTRAL DVDs. Look out for those and another big announcement coming soon.


April 14, 2008: HEY!
Much to our pleasant surprise, NEUTRAL took the highest honor - the "Top Grit" - at last week's Indie Grits festival in Columbia, SC. Thanks to everyone who came to the screenings, and thanks to the jury for giving us our first award! In the spirit of celebration, we'll be working on a new and improved (and more frequently updated) website to keep track of further screenings and other events, so please come back.

Congratulations to all of NEUTRAL's cast, crew, friends, and fans. Have a cigar. And some grits.
