We've got some big news we'll be announcing soon. Something about something related to what's going down this weekend at RollerCon.
Tangentially, for the first time ever, we will have Hell on Wheels DVDs for sale!! No lie! We teamed up with the kick ass indie outfit IndiePix and put together a RollerCon special edition version. It's a taste of more to come. But, hold on… I've said too much. We'll have more big news on that in a week or so.
Bob Ray and Werner Campbell will be in Vegas from Thursday night through Monday morn and on Friday, IndiePix ninja Jason Tyrrell gets to town with a ninja-bag of DVDs. So hook up with us and we'll hook you up.
We're screening the flick on Sunday afternoon at 1:30 PM at the Double Down, so drag your drunken carcass down to the DD and have a Bloody Mary and watch the flick with us. Bob & Werner will do one of those Q&A thingies after the flick. Now's your chance to own a piece of history! “Hell on Wheels” is the “Birth of a Nation” for the derby set!

Press Release:
for immediate release
“Hell on Wheels” to World Premiere at SXSW 2007
Hell on Wheels , the documentary about the resurrection of women's roller derby, will have its world premiere at the 2007 South by Southwest Film Festival in March. Appearing in the Spotlight Features section of the fest, Hell on Wheels will unspool on Sunday, March 11 th at 1:30 pm at the historic Paramount Theater in downtown Austin , Texas .
Hell on Wheels takes a from-the-trenches look at the dizzying clash of athleticism, exhibitionism, egos, politics and business that is modern roller derby. A group of hard-hitting Texas women overcome myriad obstacles in resurrecting and revamping the sport, only to find internal strife ripping the fledgling organization apart. Two leagues emerge from the clash, and what follows ignites an international roller derby revival, forever changing the lives of those involved.
Filmmakers Bob Ray (director) and Werner Campbell (producer) spent five years chronicling the birth and evolution of modern roller derby from within the organization that reshaped the sport. Utilizing a non-obtrusive and candid style, the filmmakers were able to capture the league as it coalesced, prospered and then tore itself apart, only to rebound in unimagined fashion. What started as a grassroots movement in Austin , Texas would achieve global popularity through outlets like: The New York Times, ABC Evening News, Good Morning America, CNN, Fox News, The Today Show, Playboy, BBC, MTV and more.
Working with award winning editor Conor O'Neill ( Murderball, Word Wars ) and the band …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, filmmakers Bob Ray and Werner Campbell crafted this powerful and gripping tale. More information on the film, as well as a trailer and a chronology of events, can be found at www.HellOnWheelsTheMovie.com
