Here is the press release for the Donner Pass online screenings that will be happening this week. Donner Pass will be released to home media markets starting January 17, but here are several chances to see it before everyone else does. My screening, specifically, will be held Friday, January 13th at 10:30PM EST / 7:30PM PST at www.constellation.tv. Tickets are on sale for $4.99 to view the movie, which you buy virtually at the online theater and I will be available before and after the screening for a Q&A. If you can’t make it to my screening, then I suggest trying to attend one of the other ones. They will be hosted by cast and crew members of Donner Pass, including director Elise Robertson & producer Mouncey Ferguson and “The Crypt Keeper” John Kassir. I hope to see you there!

About Donner Pass: Donner Pass tells the story of settlers in 1846 that became snowbound in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and had to resort to cannibalism to survive. Some 150 years later, a group of teens on a snowboard trip discover that the curse of the Donner Party still haunts those mountains when members of their group start turning up not only dead, but half-eaten. Nothing – and no one – is what it seems in this provocative dark thriller. And history doesn’t always stay in the past.
About Constellation
Constellation is your online movie theater. Just like a traditional theater, audiences purchase tickets to attend scheduled showtimes of films. Unlike other online platforms, watching movies on Constellation is a social experience. Users pick a showtime to join (or create their own), invite friends, and watch movies together. Many movies are presented by VIP hosts, such as the films’ directors, actors, or other notables, who appear live in the online theater to answer questions from the audience during and after the film.
