Re NSKY: First film set for "World Premiere"...
The following appeared today on the Website of the "Seattle International Film Festival," confirming that NSKY's first movie ("Freak Talks About Sex," starring up-and-coming actor Steve Zahn) WILL be shown at next month's world-class festival.
This is one of the major developments shareholders have been waiting for, with an eye to an eventual distribution-deal. And now, of course, there's also the hoped-for revenues from the recent acquisition of 40% of "movieplace.com". So it'll be interesting to see what effect this latest news has on the stock-price...
(Note: For some reason this announcement is dated April 13, but in fact it has only-now appeared (must've been prepared in advance, then held-for-release). Presumably, NSKY will have its own follow-up announcement soon -- but don't know the company's exact PR plans...)
