Inferno Film Productions, LLC, based near Littleton, Colorado, is representing Salida's own "Get Goosed!" at the American Film Market in Santa Monica, California, February 25 through March 3, 2004.
Get Goosed! is a heartwarming family story about a Canada goose who gives an elderly Native American new hope. It was filmed in Salida, Colorado, in 2000 and 2001. In addition to the normal crises that accompany filmmaking, director, Charles Newcomb, nearly lost both of his stars before Get Goosed! was complete. During a break in filming in 2000, the lead actor, John Pahe, suffered a major stroke and was hospitalized. Pahe had recovered almost fully by the spring of 2001 and filming resumed. In addition, after they had filmed most of the scenes with Owashi, the Canada goose who had the title role, she was found dead in the bushes near the lake where she lived. They had to continue with a backup goose. In September, 2003, Get Goosed! premiered in Salida to a packed house.
Founded in 1981, the American Film Market (AFM) has grown to be the largest motion picture trade event in the world. Unlike a film festival, the AFM is a marketplace where over $500 million in production and distribution deals are closed annually. Each year, more than 3,000 buyers and about 300 sellers convene in Santa Monica for eight days of deal making. Total attendance is over 7,000 including prominent actors, producers, directors, and movie distributors.
Get Goosed! director, Charles Newcomb is hoping that Inferno Film Productions will bring back some national and international distribution deals for his film from AFM.
Inferno Film Productions is also offering distribution rights from 12 other feature films including Get Goosed, Unreal and Dragon and the Hawk (shot in Colorado), Going Back (shot in Michigan), starring Bruce Campbell ("Bubba Ho-Tep," "Evil Dead"), Haywire (shot in Ohio), On The Fringe (New Hampshire), Far From India (Maryland), Terrarium (Nevada) and Drawing Down the Moon (Pennsylvania), starring Walter Koenig ("Star Trek," "Babylon 5.").
