Press Release:

Leading independent film label Camp Motion Pictures and director Devi Snively announce a North American cross platform marketing and distribution agreement to release her award-winning shorts and feature Trippin’ in spring of 2012.

Trippin’, a festival favorite and Ms. Snively’s first feature film, has been called “funny as a comedy, sharp as social commentary and scary as a horror story, a success on every front”*, “campy as hell, full of drugs, gore, and sex, and loads of fun” as well as “a smart, multi-layered film which manages to avoid the genre-pandering and other pitfalls that have come to define today’s horror-comedy genre.”** To be released day-and-date with TRIPPIN’ across digital platforms and as ancillary content on the Limited Edition 2-disc DVD are Ms. Snively’s collection of short films including the AFI-produced Death in Charge starring Marina Benedict (TORCHWOOD), Last Seen on Dolores Street (Comic Con 2012 screening and panel), Raven Gets a Life, Meat is Murder, Confederate Zombie Massacre, Teenage Bikini Vampire and I Spit on Eli Roth.

In the horror black comedy, told from the perspective of the sole survivor, six friends road trip to a remote cabin in the woods with deadly results. A year later, the survivor meets director Devi Snively in a bar and offers the rights to his story for a case of beer and a role in the film. Trippin’ is that film. So, as the marketing kit proclaims, prepare yourself for a little sex, a little gore, some good and bad times with some good and bad buds. It’s a bloodier The Big Chill for a Kevin Smith generation…with a puppet!

Devi Snively commented,
“Our Deviant team is ecstatic to have found the perfect home for TRIPPIN' with our kindred spirits at the POPcinema/Camp Motion Pictures Distribution Network, whom we first met and instantly admired back in our earliest days on the genre fest circuit. We're so glad our two families will finally join forces and we're doubly excited to share our award-winning shorts on the DVD.”

Paige Davis, Director of Business Development for Camp Motion Pictures added,
“Trippin’ is a fresh and darkly comic twist on the beloved ‘cabin in the woods’ scenario, and director Devi Snively one of the most exciting new talents to emerge on the independent horror scene. I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to present her body of work to date to the horror community via our Camp Motion Pictures label.”

A series of screenings, signing and promotions in the NYC and Los Angeles areas leading up to the 04/10/2012 TRIPPIN release are currently being finalized.
