Image Entertainment and Graymark Productions Film "Fingerprints" Wins Best Feature at New York City Horror Film Festival.CHATSWORTH, Calif. -- Image Entertainment, Inc. (Nasdaq:DISK), a leading independent licensee, producer and distributor of home entertainment programming in North America, and Graymark Productions (OTCBB:GRMK), an independent motion picture and television production company, today announced that "Fingerprints" was selected as the best feature at the New York City Horror Film Festival. "Fingerprints" is based on the widely publicized urban legend that took place 50 years ago in a small Texas town, where a school bus filled with children was hit by a train killing everyone on-board. The ghosts of the children are supposedly still in the area where the accident took place. It is said that if a car is put in neutral on the railroad tracks, the children will push the car off the tracks, leaving only their ghostly fingerprints behind. The movie centers around a troubled teenager who discovers the gruesome truth behind the legend. The film stars Kristin Cavallari ("Laguna Beach," "Veronica Mars"), Leah Pipes ("Malcolm in the Middle"), Josh Henderson ("Desperate Housewives," "Yours, Mine and Ours," "8 Simple Rules"), Andrew Lawrence ("Lilo & Stitch: The Series," "Tucker") as well as veteran actors Lou Diamond Philips, Sally Kirkland and Geoffrey Lewis. Harry Basil directed the film, from a screenplay written by brothers Brian and Jason Cleveland, who also produced. The Best Feature award at The New York City Horror Film Festival is one of the top industry awards for a genre picture. "Fingerprints is one of those films that creeps up on you slowly, then punches you in the gut repeatedly," said Michael Hein, festival director of The New York City Horror Film Festival. "An outstanding piece of horror." The New York City Horror Film Festival is America's largest and most recognized film festival focusing solely on horror, science fiction and thrillers.
