November 1st,
2012 Hollywood,
CA – Sycamore
Entertainment Group, Inc. (SEGI),
is pleased to announce it has submitted the feature film “The Eye of the Storm” for
consideration at several awards including, the Independent Spirit Awards, Screen
Actors Guild Awards, and The Oscars. The film has been garnering critical
acclaim throughout its theatrical and Video on Demand (V.O.D) release. Sycamore
has positioned the film to create as much impact during this critical time in
the film industry.
Sycamore
is successfully garnering attention for The Eye of the Storm. The film has been
invited to screen for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science twice this
season. Its first Academy members only screening, was on April 22nd
in Los Angeles and the second, on October 4th for New York Members.
“The
new
campaigning rules for Academy Award consideration,
levels the playing field giving a small company like ours a fighting chance. It
is less about about how much money you spend on a campaign to get a nomination,
it is more about having your film seen by voting academy members” Says Ed
Sylvan CEO of Sycamore. He
goes on to say “We are thrilled that the
film is garnering so much attention within the industry, an academy award
nomination could have a significant impact on revenues for DVD sales and
video-on-Demand, We are very optimistic.”
Historically,
Academy nominations could be influenced by who had the most money to host the
most lavish parties. The more money a distribution company had to spend on an
award campaign could influence how well the film did during award season. As a
small independent distributor, Sycamore intends to make the industry stand up
and take notice of the outstanding performances of Geoffrey
Rush, Charlotte
Rampling and Judy
Davis, masterfully directed by Fred Schepisi. The supporting cast delivers world
class performances worthy of all the accolades the film is receiving.
“We
know from ‘Hurt locker’ in 2010 that a film does not have to have big grosses
at the box office to go on and win awards” Says Sylvan. He goes on to say “We
may be a small company, but our film has huge potential”.
The film’s in now playing in theaters and is
available nationwide on Video-On-Demand. To View “The Eye of the Storm” on
