RHODE ISLAND INTERNATIONAL
HORROR FILM FESTIVAL
ANNOUNCES
THE WINNERS FOR THE SIXTH ANNUAL FESTIVAL
Email from Texas, November 3, 2005:
"Thank
you so much for your generosity and
hospitality. We had a blast. Providence was much fun,
the people were all great, and the entire
experience left us feeling both lucky and honored. We
had a great time watching, talking, and basically breathing
movies for the entire fest, and had an equally great
time meeting Ric, Josh, Marc, Adam, and the rest of
the crew. The Best Director award was icing on the cake,
and has been pivotal in convincing my Mom that all those
years of couch-surfing and unemployment may have been
worth it. Sincerely, thank you for the honor. We've
been gushing about both the festival and Providence
since we returned, and hope to see you all again as
soon as possible. We've just started conceptualizing
our next projects, including a very bloody and carnal
retelling of a famous fairy tale, and we'll show you
what we've done just as soon as there's something to
show. We'll also stay in touch to inform you of new
"Day X" developments, including the website
launch and when we'll have copies of the finished dvd
for you. Once again, thanks for everything, and feel
free to contact me with any questions, follow-up's,
hello's, you name it."

Dear RIIHFF -
I just read the list of Horror Fest winners on the FANGORIA
site - and HELLBENT was among them! You can bet "Winner

across the HELLBENT DVD box! Thanks so much, guys! Now
I'm doubly disappointed I couldn't get to the

a great success for you. Again - I really appreciate
