POCKET GOD: A-HOLE IN TIME... PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE
Get the inside scoop on one of the iTunes App Store's biggest independent success stories. What started out as a week-long project for Dave Castelnuovo (programmer) and Allan Dye (artist) to get something quickly on the iTunes app store, evolved through frequent updates and blew up into a 3 million-plus selling iPhone/iPod game. They'll talk about the trials and tribulations of getting noticed on the App Store and how they managed to maintain its popularity from the first time it hit number 1 in March of 2009, to today, where it still sits in the top 25. Pocket God and its hapless Pygmy population are now migrating to the iPad, other game platforms, plush dolls, and now comics! Ape Entertainment has created a 4-issue comic series around the Pygmies, which will be distributed digitally (on iTunes, and online) as well as in print. Brent Erwin from Ape will join them and talk about how the comic got started and the process in which it was produced. Also included will be a sneak peak of Pocket God's first spin-off for the iPad, titled "Pocket God: Journey To Uranus".

VAN VON HUNTER SCREENING
From TOKYOPOP comes a new live-action comedy feature film mockumentary about an out-of-work evil vanquisher who must brave the perils of Hollywood and the mysteries of Tokyo in order to save the world. This incredible character study captures the true(ish) rags-to-riches story of Van Von Hunter, an evil-vanquisher from the land of Dikay. After he loses his job, Van moves to Hollywood (he heard you needed no qualifications to succeed) in order to hit the big time. There he gets mixed up with two egomaniacal, hack film directors who destroy his new-found film career and send his reputation into the toilet. Van’s astounding survival instinct and a remarkable twist of fate carries him to the land of Japan. Soon he heroically overcomes all obstacles and soars into the limelight, becoming a hot celebrity. But being famous isn’t quite enough for Van.
