Ariztical Entertainment Makes Empire Films' "Brides of Sodom" Available at Cannes

Online, May 17, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Empire Films has announced that it has chosen genre film distributor Ariztical Entertainment as its exclusive sales agent for its latest release, "Brides of Sodom," at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. Ariztical first made a name for itself by releasing films like 'Kizuna', the first gay male Anime to be released on DVD in the US. Today, Ariztical is best known for the, "'Eating Out," film series, gay themed comedies that have a huge, world wide fan base.

Directed by the notorious Creep Creepersin, "Brides of Sodom" is set in a post apocalyptic world where vampires named for Greek gods, and witches rule. It is a classic vampire story with some real twists: The plot centers around a male vampire named Eros who falls in love with a human named Samuel. Eros wants to "save" Samuel and make him a vampire, but evil vampire, Dionysus has other ideas. Matters are complicated by Eros' sister/lover, Persephone, an ambiguous Bookkeeper and three witches. "Brides of Sodom, "also pays homage to the great European classic horror films of the 70's and 80's. The film features Shakespearian elements, with a touch of Bram Stoker, Anne Rice and erotica. It is stylistically dark and brooding. This is not just another erotic horror film. In many ways Brides of Sodom serves a metaphor for social and cultural issues central in our daily lives.

"Brides of Sodom," stars gay porn star David Taylor, in his mainstream film debut, Peter Stickles (Shortbus), star of HereTV's Dante's Cove and The Lair Dylan Vox (Titanic2, Shut Up and Kiss Me), and international star Domiziano Arcangeli (House of Flesh Mannequins, Bruno, Virus X) , who also serves as executive producer. The film also features a special appearance from The Queen of Late night, Beverly Lynne.

Empire Films has produced titles like the critically acclaimed Virus X, the award winning "House of Flesh Mannequins," and "Scenes From A Gay Marriage," which is still in post production.

"Brides of Sodom," is being distributed in North America and Japan by Media Blasters. The film is set for release, in those territories later this year. Ariztical Entertainment is sharing booth E1-F4 with Movie Ventures. Please email [email protected] for an appointment.
