ZOOM SUIT AWARDED BEST ANIMATION AT TWO MORE FILM FESTIVALS

John Taddeo, former Marvel Entertainment Brand Manager, and writer and director of the animated short film Zoom Suit, can add two more awards to his trophy case. Zoom Suit has been awarded Best Animation at the Gulf Coast Film & Video Festival and Best Animated Film at the Santa Clarita Independent Film Festival.

The Gulf Coast Film & Video Festival was held September 16-18 in Nassau Bay, Texas. The Santa Clarita Independent Film Festival was held November 11-13 in Santa Clarita, California. Both festivals aim to encourage the work of the independent filmmaker and expand the awareness of independent films.

“The awards are nice, but I really hope that all this exposure translates into sales of the comic,” said Taddeo. “I love making films, but at heart I’m a comics fan and I want other comics fans to pick up and read Zoom Suit when it’s released in April.”

The award-winning animated short Zoom Suit can be seen online at www.superverse.com. The Zoom Suit comic book will be solicited in the February edition of Previews for items shipping in April 2006
