Local up-and-coming filmmaker got a taste of what it was like to be a celebrity this past weekend. Jared Scott Mercier, an Arizona State University graduate, screened his first feature-length film titled Madison Hall to public on June 6 at Chandler Cinemas, 2140 N. Arizona Ave. The film centers around 14 college students who send campus police on a wild ride as they search for who they believe is a terrorist involved in a pair of fights, a kidnapping, a break-in in the university's tunnel system and a bomb threat. He based the screenplay on real events that took place during his freshman year of college.

The principal photography started back in 2006 with a crew of only 10 (our very own graphic designer and video production artist was part of that crew) after months of preparation, pre-production and hard work. There were goals of releasing the film less than a year after the video production, but due to lack of post-production crew and budget, the movie premiere was pushed back even further. After 3 years of post-production work, Mercier's baby was finally premiered to the public with almost a full theater in attendance. He has received great praise from his colleagues, and previous mentors. Because of the positive turn out of the premiere, he has been busy with interviews from local newspapers.

Mercier plans to submit Madison Hall to numerous festivals and hopes to meet a distributor. In addition, Disc2day is proud to be Mercier's first DVD Duplication & Replication Company and we will continue to provide him with any CD & DVD services he may need throughout his advancing career.

PHOENIX, January 27, 2009 -- Don Bluth Films, Inc. announces a special 30th Anniversary Edition of Banjo the Woodpile Cat, produced and animated by former Walt Disney animators Don Bluth, Gary Goldman and John Pomeroy.

Directed by Bluth, between March 1975 and December 1979 in his garage, the new special edition has been digitally re-mastered for both widescreen 16:9 and standard 4:3 formats. To celebrate this long-anticipated DVD release, special screenings took place at the 2009 USA Film Festival (KidFilm) in Dallas, Texas Jan. 24 and 25.

The two-disc set includes color enhancement and more than 90 minutes of bonus features, including director and producer(s) commentary, an interview with Bluth, Goldman and Pomeroy, a 10-minute news segment on their departure from Walt Disney Productions, a conversation with Bluth and trailers from their other productions.

The 30th Anniversary Edition of Banjo the Woodpile Cat will be available at Amazon.com, and downloadable from the MyToons.com Digital Store with other distribution partners to be announced shortly on DonBluth.com.

Winner of the National Film Advisory Board's Award of Excellence for family films and the Golden Scroll Award from the Academy of Science Fiction, Horror and Fantasy Films, Banjo the Woodpile Cat is a story about your average young cat, with major growing pains. When one of his pranks backfires, Banjo decides to run away from home instead of facing his parents. He winds up in the big city where he meets cool cats Crazy Legs and Zazu, only to discover all that he has left behind. Featuring original music and songs, this delightful tale is heart-warming, animated entertainment for the entire family.

In September 1979, the three young directing animators left Disney to complete their short film, Banjo, and begin production on what would become the classic film that launched their independent film careers - The Secret of NIMH.

Banjo the Woodpile Cat started a long independent career and a legacy of films and projects by Bluth and Goldman: The Secret of NIMH (1982), Dragon's Lair video game (1983), Space Ace video game (1983), An American Tail (1986), The Land Before Time (1988), All Dogs Go To Heaven (1989), Rock-A-Doodle (1990), A Troll in Central Park (1992), Thumbelina (1994), The Pebble and the Penguin (1995), Anastasia (1997), Bartok the Magnificent (1999) and Titan A. E. (2000).

The past couple of years the economy has been a decreasing matter for the real estate market as well as many others. With a brand new year ahead of us it could be time to take a look at the process and advantages of marketing during a recession. For any advertising and marketing it is always rewarding to research your customers. During a recession, or any crisis, people tend to drift back towards their roots for encouragement or comfort. Marketing family values and related material can be an added boost during hard times. Don't decrease your marketing budgets. Many larger competitors will think this is a solution while your company or organization can profit from increased marketing and advertising due to lower costs and higher return on investment values. The CD duplication and CD replication industry is slicing down prices and can produce your company's marketing collateral at a much lower cost during this recession. Advertise your products effectively by paying close attention to what your marketing collateral is saying. Drive the point that you are reliable, safe, and effective; people want their spending to be productive and efficient. Adjust any pricing tactics available and prepare product presentations to keep in front of consumers. DVD duplication and DVD replication are great solutions to providing potential clients with professional products and pricing presentations. Take advantage of the recession and market yourself effectively, make 2009 year a profitable year for you and your company.

The holiday season is right around the corner and it is a great time to get some recordings of your music on disc.
