Ashley's Ashes Included in the Truly Moving Pictures Lineup this Year at the 19th Annual Heartland Film Festival

    LOS ANGELES, CA, October 07, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The feature film Ashley's Ashes has earned 13 awards, including the recent "Best Narrative Feature Film" at the Landlocked Film Festival and "Best Screenplay" from the Manhattan Film Festival during this year's festival tour.

"The response from all of the festival screenings has been amazing. Now, we are extremely honored to wrap up our festival run as an official selection at the Heartland Film Festival," Christopher Hutson, Co-Director and Producer, stated.

"In our travels, we somehow missed the submission deadline for the Heartland Festival," Chris Kazmier, Co-Director and Producer, said. With personal emails to those involved in the festival and a link to the promo trailer, Kazmier diligently went to work trying to secure a spot.

"We knew the Heartland was perfect for our film and I hoped they would give the film a look," said Hutson.

Kazmier's emails worked; one day later an email came back from Ray Mills, the festival program coordinator, saying although they have had the highest submission year ever and it was very late in the process, they liked what they saw and wanted to view a screener. "I'm so glad that the next email from the festival program coordinator, Ray Mills, was telling me that we made it in. That was a great moment," said Kazmier.

Ashley's Ashes is a thoughtful and probing exploration of the human spirit, and will encourage and enlighten audience's hearts and minds.
