VERY EXCITING NEWS...

Renegade has acquired the rights to the book AUTUMN by British
author, David Moody. The AUTUMN series of novels, which are set in a post-apocalyptic society following a sudden viral epidemic, has a committed and well deserved following. We feel it is probably one of the most compelling stories to date that deals with the psychological impact on survivors in a zombie-styled holocaust. It also redefines, in a more realistic way, the behavior of reanimated bodies and how they function and decline... and most importantly the sociological and psychological response of survivors who are left to live in a world of inactive silence... for the first few days, at least...

To read the first novel in the AUTUMN series as a FREE download, go to the Infected Books site.

Intended release of the film will be to jive with four major zombie films released in 2008 and will follow close on the heels of "Queen City Blowout", "Lost Souls" and "The Deed" as the fourth feature film from the Renegade creative factory to hit the market place within a year from Spring 2007. Compounded with the fourth season of "Beyond" airing first-run at the beginning of the year along with repeats and second markets throughout the rest of the year... 2007 is shaping up to be a landmark year for Renegade.

Keep an eye on the Renegade horizon, there is a lot more coming our way.

ROCKINGHORSE DREAMS

Renegade Motion Picture Corporation announces the production and completion of the full-length documentary Rocking Horse Dreams .

During the shoot, the Renegade unit covered the US Team Olympic Training Camp and the Rocking Horse Trials in Ocala, Florida. Twenty-five in-depth interviews were conducted with accomplished individuals from every aspect of the sport of eventing. Those included on camera were legends, Olympians, and World Champions such as Cpt. Mark Philips, George Morris, Bruce Davidson, David and Karen O'Connor.

The Pilot is written and directed by Steven Rumbelow and focuses on the career of the remarkable young equestrian athlete from Canada: Andrina Calder and her coach Darren Chiacchia (Pan American Gold). This 15-year-old completed four internationally recognized events in 2003, winning three. In the junior division of the 2003 North American Young Riders' Championship, Andrina led her team to the gold medal and also claimed the individual gold.

Andrina is in many ways living the reality of every little girl whoever dreamt of having her own horse. However in the real world any competitive athlete has to be able to rise to and overcome challenges often outside of the scope of many young teenagers' experience.
