My name is David Sikich, President of ISA Releasing, the Chicago-based distributor which released the independent movie, “Lana’s Rain” to theatres earlier this year. There is a pretty good chance that most of you didn’t get a chance to see the movie since it opened only in a limited number of cities, but the good news is that’s about to change.

I’m very happy to report that “Lana’s Rain” will be available to take home with you starting January 18, 2005, just after the New Year. Image Entertainment will be releasing the movie on this date in both the DVD and VHS format and hopefully it will be at a retail store near you. (We will have a list of outlets carrying the title in mid-November.) It will be available to rent or to buy at a price of $19.99 but the important thing is we are thrilled that everyone who will want to see it will be finally be able to do so.

I welcome each of you to our new and improved website. We appreciate all the support and kind words from those of you who have been able to see “Lana’s Rain” and welcome those of you who are visiting the website for the first time and want to learn more about the film. We’re proud of “Lana’s Rain” and what director Michael Ojeda and producer Joel Goodman were able to accomplish with a $215,000 budget. At a time when the average Hollywood studio movie costs $59,000,000, Lana’s Rain delivers the goods and packs a punch. Check it out and judge for yourself.

“Lana’s Rain” straddles a lot of genres... .it’s part crime drama.. .part gritty immigrant saga.. .part female revenge thriller.. .part film noir. If you’ve liked movies like “La Femme Nikita,” “Run, Lola, Run,” “The Point of No Return” and “Kill Bill,” all movies starring women caught in the world of violent men and being forced to act against them, well, I think you will like “Lana’s Rain” too.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

David Sikich
