Fangoria's Weekend of Horrors in Los Angeles was the largest festival we've ever had the pleasure of screening our film at. “The Caregiver” was one of four other short films picked from a couple hundred submitted. It was an honor to play with other great films like Alicia Conway's “Rite” and Robert W. Filion’s “See the Dead”.
Mickey Faerch, from our film “The Caregiver”, and Daeg Faerch were also there promoting Daeg's new film "Dark Mirror", a must see, coming to theaters May 6, 2009.
It was great to be in the company of old friends from City Band Productions, Burry Vision Productions, Shave Stone Productions and the music band Go Betty Go but even better, we made a lot of new ones and had the opportunity to meet Sam Raimi, Tobe Hopper, Italian horror directors Lamberto Bava and Marylin Burns the heroine of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre and legendary director Lloyd Kaufman just to name a few.
Thanks to everyone again for a great time! Keep your bones crossed for the next couple of film festivals that we're submitting to!

Happy New Year to all!
“The Caregiver” is now complete and with a new year comes more updates for Diffusion Films. In the next couple of months we will add our very first DVD store called the Stockpile Store where you can buy any of our films we have made over the last couple of years using a Pay-Pal account. All sales from the online store will go to help us fund new productions.
Also our film "History" was shot back in 2003 but after lying around on a shelf we are remastering the final cut and completing the film for a release this summer.
June 19, 2008

We hope to have a trailer up in about a week, so please stay tune for more updates on this and other projects…

The 2007 El Cajon Video and Film Festival went off with a bang as countless films were played all very well shot and directed which lead to some hardcore competing among film makers. When all was said and done Diffusion Films walked away with two awards! “Foreboding” beat two other films in its class to win second place in the Student Drama category and "American Nightmare" beat out three other films to win first place in the Student Horror category.
Thanks to everyone again who help make Diffusion Films the little film company it is today!!!
Sept 9, 2007
With the 2007 Imperial Beach International Film Festival coming to an end tonight we will have to see if “Foreboding” takes an awards however I did not see an awards ceremony in the program and some festival goes were say that there would be no awards give out anymore for this festival. In any case it was a blast and if you could not make it them I hope you can make the El Cajon Video and Film Festival this coming Saturday September 15 at the ECMAC Theater located at 389 Magnolia Ave, El Cajon. A screening line-up has been placed on there website. I will be there from opening to the end, so if your coming for sure e-mail me so I can try to save you a seat.
Sept 1, 2007
2007 Imperial Beach International Film Festival has accepted “Foreboding" for this coming Saturday the 8th at around 12:00 Noon at Dempsey Holder Hall, Ocean Lane and Elder Ave., (Behind the Lifeguard Tower at the IB Pier Plaza) Imperial Beach CA. Sorry for the late noticed but the festival just now posted the information!
Both “Foreboding” and “American Nightmare” will play in the El Cajon Video and Film Festival which will take place this September 15th at the (NEW LOCATION) ECMAC Theater at 389 Magnolia Ave, El Cajon. Seating is limited to 350 seats, so buying tickets early will be important. Tickets are $5.00 at the door and the play time will be listed on the festival’s website I hope soon.
As for San Diego and Temecula Valley, I can only guess that they did not want us to win all the awards so they didn’t put the films into their festival to give everyone else a chance!
Aug 4, 2007
"Foreboding" and "American Nightmare" both have accepted into the El Cajon Video and Film Festival which will take place September 15th, 2007 at the East County Performing Arts Center located at 210 East Main Street, El Cajon, Ca. 92020.

As Diffusion Films expands, so must our website. We hope you like the new look. After all it’s a far cry from what we had posted. We updated the website because we felt it was time to call ourselves a full video and film production company. We will stay true to our independent roots by working with new starting filmmakers. However, after working with other independent companies like Blackout Creations, City Band Productions, and New Liberty Entertainment, we look to continue to produce in-house projects, but will now offer our services to other production companies looking to take their projects to the next level.
June 11, 2006
With "American Nightmare" wrapped, we can now move into completing the film poster for Foreboding, as well as sending off a host of films to San Diego's local Film Festival. With some luck Foreboding, The Rewrite, Sign, and Empty will be picked up and aired later in the year.
