The first teaser trailer for the new feature thriller Canyon Road premiered at the 2011 San Diego Comic Con to a very enthusiastic fan response. Unspooling at the Dark Sky Pictures booth, the unexpected and unannounced teaser trailer played repeatedly to large crowds in the convention hall, many of whom clamored to learn more about this film and see the young stars signing autographs and
meeting their new fans for the very first time.
In this harrowing original film, a young couple trapped in a failing marriage is unexpectedly buried under a mudslide on Malibu Canyon Road and must fight for survival (in the vein of "Open Water," "Buried,"
and "Frozen".)

Stars Roxanne Jaeckel and Ivan Lovegren held repeated autograph
sessions, signing hundreds of production stills and custom Canyon Road
keychains for clamoring fans. Tabling at the Dark Sky Pictures booth
between the "Twilight: New Moon" headquarters and fans seeking the
cast of "The Big Bang Theory", and excitedly signing autographs
alongside stars such as Doug Jones (The Silver Surfer;
Hellboy I & II), Robert Picardo (Star Trek:
Voyager), Camden Toy (Buffy the Vampire Slayer[Television
Series]) and model Chanel Ryan, the two feature actors were a hit with
the Comic Con crowd.
The film will also include the world-premiere of the new song "Next
Time We'll Shine" by Michael Bluestein, keyboardist/backing vocals for
Foreigner. A music video is under way to be released as part of the
Canyon Road experience.

producer and part of the Emmy-winning team on The Hawaiian Moving

Horror/Sci Fi at the Cannes Independent Film Festival in 2011.
