SAVAGE DOG FILMS RELOADS
2008 marks a new beginning for indie film producers Savage Dog Film & Digitals Ltd. It's the 5th anniversary for the company and it might just be the most interesting year so far!

Aarhus, Denmark - February 1st, 2008. Exactly five years ago, Savage Dog Films saw daylight for the very first time. The company that, in the entertainment industry, is known for being whole-heartedly devoted to producing science fiction, horror and thrillers, rises to the occasion and aims to be one of the key players in the independent film industry.

For the past five years, film guru Michael Lee has been guiding the dogs from an early fusion between five companies to being a household name among film journalists. "Michael has done so many great things for our company and it is with great sadness that we announce his resignation", says Dustin Johnson (Savage Dog Productions). Since October 1st, 2007, Savage Dog Film & Digitals Ltd. has been in the hands of Lennie Overgaard who, as Michael Lee, holds a great history with Savage Dog Films.

Lennie Overgaard has spent the last 5 years with Savage Dog Films and was responsible for writing and directing such films as Rip Cage and Seraphim (due out Summer 2008). He has also worked with companies such as Lionsgate Films, ARFilm Productions and Q-Lee Entertainment. Lennie Overgaard has a background in Sales and Marketing and worked with, among others, Vincenzo Natali, Ernie Barbarash and Sean Hood on such films as Cube 2: Hypercube and Cube Zero (both for Lionsgate Films).

Lennie Overgaard continues, "Horror has been great for us, but it's time for us to look for a wider audience and that is why we've decided not to limit ourselves to doing horror and thrillers only. I've been wanting to to drama and action for some time now and Savage Dog Films provides me with some great opportunites to do so. We've got some very talented people to work with and the right tools to make all of that happen."

"Our digital diivision is going to play a much bigger role in our jobs now as we've previously used them for internal projects only. We've been out shopping for lots of goodies and Savage Dog Digitals now has a wide range of equipment that is on par with the big ones in the business."

Lennie Overgaard has also decided to invest in smaller and up-and-coming companies and has teamed up with, among others, the Canadian art and web firm Shade.ca with whom he has worked before.

"Our anniversary is marked by a new, strong brand based on the Dog. An entirely new website reflecting our new goals has been launched and our new opening logo bearing our updated company colors will be presented very soon", says Lennie Overgaard.
