A note about the DVD Release

12/11/2015

5 Comments

On the 4 December The Alpha Invention will finally be released on VOD services iTunes and Amazon as well as on Shorts TV in all available territories.

We've also decided to do a DVD release which will contain some extra goodies on there including the behind-the-scenes video, concept art and trailers. However, there is a problem with this idea - to sell DVDs in the UK you need a certificate from the BBFC something that costs the filmmakers quite a significant sum of money and for shorts, which are never made to make a profit, it just isn't feasible.

So instead of selling the DVDs we're deciding to give them away on the 4 December! All you have to do is give us your name, address, email address and pay for the postage and packaging and we'll ship you a FREE copy of The Alpha Invention on DVD. The catch is that we can only do a limited release of one run so once they're gone that's it, I'm afraid. I know some people have been emailing us asking about the DVD so make sure you get in early to ensure you receive a copy!

The Alpha Invention was written, shot and is set in London so it makes a lot of sense for the world premiere to be in London. And there isn't a more suitable festival to host this than the country's leading genre film festival, Film4 FrightFest.

FrightFest is one of the biggest horror film festivals in the world but since its debut in 2000 has spread into other forms of genre film such as fantasy and science-fiction. The Alpha Invention will be screening as part of the official selection on Saturday August 29th at The Prince Charles Cinema in Leicester Square. You can find further information and buy tickets at the Film4 FrightFest website.
