Press Release Summary = HOW TWO FRIENDS BEAT THE ODDS TO SCREEN AT RAINDANCE .

LONDON, England September 26th, 2006 - Two English filmmaker friends made a pact
over ten years ago at Heathrow airport that they would support each others careers
as one left on a plane or Sydney, Australia. This month, nearly ten years later,
both their films were selected and screen at the Raindance Film Festival, on the
same day. what are the odds?


Press Release Body = Galvin Scott Davis and Sacha Bennett met as extras on the set
of Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet nearly ten years ago. Sharing the same passion for film
and dedication to creating their careers in the cutthroat film industry - the two
quickly became friends, and hatched a plan to support their professional careers.

Galvin, hailing from Kent, followed his girlfriend to Australia in 1998 and the two
friends took an oath to continue striving to help each other as writers, actors and
directors. Galvin followed his passion of acting as Sacha followed his passion for
writing and directing, both with degrees of success - until this year, when
everything changed.

Both made stand-out pieces of celluloid, 'do-or-die' films with the intention of
launching themselves onto the Hollywood platform. Both succeeding beyond
expectations.

Galvin's work - The Australian short film 'Brother' has won both the prestigious
Beverly Hills and Silver Lake Film Festivals in a whirlwind two weeks in Los
Angeles, from over 1,500 entries at each festival. He was swiftly signed by
Hollywood agents Brant Rose Agency and by top Australian agency RGM Associates, who
represent Cate Blanchett amongst others.

The film has struck U.S. audiences in particular with its tragic tale of two
brothers faced with an impossible task. This is Galvin's first film as Director and
was inspired by the loss of a close relative to Cancer, leaving a resounding and
lasting effect on viewers at its screenings. It has won numerous awards and screened
at over 15 international festivals to date.

Sacha's film 'Devilwood' is a stunning Horror that stars renowned British actor John
Simm, star of TV's 'Life on Mars'. The success of the film has resulted in Sacha
being snapped up by UK literary agents Darley Anderson Associates and he begins work
on his first feature as Director this year.

The two friends will be re-united again on October 2nd at the Trocadero screenings
of their films, one English, one Australian. and both with special thanks to the
other as the end credits roll.
