A Joker's Card short film is hitting the globe like a storm

As many of you who came and enjoyed the premiere party for A Joker's
Card, I wanted to also share some of the latest regarding this short
film, we received a great amount of positive feedback from everyone who
had seen it (through the premiere, through online or through the
giveaway DVD set), I have compiled as many of their comments for
everyone's reading pleasure, you can find them at our forum
<http://www.mdifilm.com/joker> www.mdifilm.com/joker (pictures taken at
the premiere party is also available there)

In addition, with our exclusive online streaming provider at
Undergroundfilm.org, A Joker's Card has ranked the 2nd most watched
short film and has also contributed tremendously during the month of
April for bringing the largest number of film downloads of their site's
seven year history.

Of course, not to mention, several festivals has requested copies for
review and waived their entry fees, in the meantime, these are some of
the festivals and comic-book sci-fi conventions that will be screening A
Joker's Card (as we discussed with several entertainment attorneys, A
Joker's Card does classify as parody under the copyright fair use clause
and therefore we are permitted to submit to festival routes).

the website):
