Happy New Year everyone. Azhur and I hope you had a great holiday break

So we have come to a new year and already it is looking good for The Marionette Unit. As most of you know 2009 was a great year of development for our film. Launching the website and film making blog in April, gaining fans over the summer, shooting then releasing the Inception Trailer in Sept and a very successful trip to LA in Oct.

Some of our recent highlights:

The Marionette Unit : Internet response.

Over the holiday and new year period amazingly and to our excitement The Marionette Unit started to spread across the internet even more and it is now popping up on numerous websites, blogs, news sites and online film magazines. We have also had more interest from Film Festivals and we haven’t even made the film yet. All this from the Inception Trailer, Concept Artwork and our website.

We have listed some of the websites and their reactions below for you all to read.

” I have a weakness for steampunk in general and if director Azhur Saleem has his way I’ll soon have a weakness for The Marionette Unit in particular. ”

“Brilliant! Best of luck to the project.”

“It’s a great concept and the first teaser for the film suggests some great talent at work.”

As you can see 2010 is turning out to be a great year for The Marionette Unit and it has only just started.

Azhur and I have lots planned over the next 2 months to get the film out to even more people and also a very special event in Los Angeles as well.

We wanted to thank you for being a part of our film

James & Azhur
