Santa Monica, CA - Indiespace.com, the flagship website of Kaleidospace LLC (a leading web hosting service and distributor of independent arts and entertainment since January 1994), announces that a film featured on its site, Extraordinary Visitor, has won a premiere screening at the Laemmle Music Hall Theatre in Beverly Hills. Nova Pictures, the film’s distribution company, was given the chance to premiere the film after winning the Audience Award at the Dances With Films Independent Film Festival.

  As a sponsor of Dances With Films, Indiespace.com offered Nova Pictures the opportunity to join the site’s growing number of independent filmmakers who promote and sell their films online through Indiespace’s artist and consumer-friendly system. Members of Indiespace.com can target their works to consumers specifically interested in independent film -- without competition from big-budget titles like those found on other Internet film sites.  Each filmmaker working with Indiespace receives a complete website, descriptive content, cast and crew profiles, screening dates, downloadable video clips, and secure online ordering for video product.

  Online promotion by independent filmmakers has been increasing steadily since 1998.  “The Internet has revolutionized the marketing of independent films,” said Nova Pictures’ Peter Barnett,  “and it is critical to a small film’s success.”  A huge advantage to an Internet marketing strategy is the fact that an online “buzz” can be created at a fraction of the cost of traditional mass media promotion.

  An edgy commentary on the approaching millennium, Extraordinary Visitor provides a sharp and funny scenario of mankind’s approaching doom. As this century comes to a close, God’s patience with humanity has run out. The only chance for humanity’s survival rests with John the Baptist, who has seven days to find signs of hope that humanity is worth saving.

  Extraordinary Visitor won the Best Foreign Film award at River Run Film Festival and Best Direction, Best Writing, Best Actor and Actress at The Atlantic Film Festival. The cast includes Mary Walsh, Andy Jones and Raoul Bhaneja. An East Films production, Extraordinary Visitor was directed and written by John W. Doyle and produced by Jennice Ripley and Paul Pope.

  The film’s run begins over Thanksgiving weekend on Friday, November 26th and ends Thursday, December 2nd.  Show times are 5:20pm, 7:30pm, and 9:40pm.
