    Hey Adam,

    If you're monitoring this board, it's Sean Fernald (formerly of Capitol Records). I just produced an indie horror mindf**k film (think Dario Argento meets Shaun of the Dead) called RED VELVET. You can find info, a trailer, and a link to contact me at http://www.redvelvetmovie.com

    This is a strange way to reconnect, but hey . . . you never know.

    Hope you're well - - Congrats on the new deal!

    All the best,
    Sean Fernald
