Hunt Premiere at A Night of Horror
Posted by Kate | Filed under A Night of Horror
Last night, Wednesday the 6th April, was the world premiere of Playthings Hunt.
The festival was attended by Producer Kate Separovich and “Casey”- Anna Bauert.
The Australian Horror Showcase included 12 other great Australian Horrors and as such the Audience Choice Award will be a tough decision.
Many thanks to the organisers of A Night of Horror (especially for the little plug for our feature) and the German Film Festival for the Red Carpet!
We can’t wait to announce our next screening.

Supanova Perth
Posted by admin | Filed under Supanova, Videos
June 26th and 27th 2010 was the Supanova Pop Culture Expo in Perth.
Playthings had a table in the Artist Alley (Table H) and it was great to see so many of you come down to say hi!
We gave away some origami animals made out of Playthings money and some posters of the film.
We also handed out some audition pieces for people to audition for roles in the movie.
The highlight for me was Summer Glau signing one of our posters. We might raffle it off to help raise funds for the film in the future so keep your eyes peeled and sign up on our competitions page.
