“Seeing your film on the big screen in front of hundreds of people really is quite something,” producer Nicola explains in an interview with South Bay Pulse after the third and final screening of Downsizer at this year’s Cinequest Film Festival in San Jose, California.

Director Joe Pavlo, casting director Rory O’Donnell and producer Nicola Petrides were thrilled with its reception and especially enamoured with the historic California theatre, where Downsizer screened in conjunction with David Schendel’s ‘The Comedy Club’ on the 6th of March.

“Seeing all the familiar Cinequest team faces again has been wonderful, and after this year’s audience reception, we can’t wait to distribute Downsizer to the public.”

In conjunction with the premiere of Lost Soul by Jason Read, AutoDrive screened at the Cinema Museum London on the 13th February.

“Thank you to all the cast, crew and supporters who came along to view the collected works of myself and Jason Read.” explains director Rory O’Donnell, “In the unsettled world we live in you all made us incredibly proud of our achievements.”

Downsizer has been officially selected for this year’s Cinequest lineup in the heart of silicon valley, California. The action packed distopian comedy will be screening in conjunction with David Schendel’s ‘The Comedy Club’, that documents the rise and fall of one of San Fransisco’s most famous theatres, that gave rise to performers such as Robin Williams and Ellen De Generes.

“This will be my second time at Cinequest, I can’t wait,” explains producer Nicola. “It’s a great festival with a fantastic mix of world class film makers and an very active local audience so you get both industry and public exposure.”

Downsizer will be screening at the Hammer Theatre (05/03), The California Theatre (06/03) and Screen 12 (10/03).

Walk into any STA Travel around the world and a RaD image will look back at you from the Europe cover, one of 6 core brochures with millions of copies distributed worldwide.

“The image was originally shot as part of the Insider Intel series in Berlin at the beginning of the project,” explains producer Nicola, “our local team shot the high res print image after the Epic Journey had been completed in Sydney. Now it’s’ everywhere in between as well.”

Further Rat & Dragon stills can be found in most brochures from Europe to Asia and Australia, as DPS’, single spreads, comp shots as well as on the walls of STA Travel’s head office in Kensington, London.
