Press Release Summary: On the Heals of Winning Two "Best Feature" Awards Back Home
in the US

Press Release Body: LOS ANGELES, CA ( ExpressPressRelease ) - The filmmakers of the
romantic comedy feature Life With Fiona
trek half-way around the world in December to attend the awards ceremony for the
International Feature and Shortfilm Festival of Rome (formerly known as the Il Corto
Shortfilm Festival), which has just opened their prestigious competition to
feature-length films. Writer-director-star Greg Lobb, a veteran standup comic,
writer and stage comedy producer, and his chief collaborator on Fiona, producer
Brendan Davis, are thrilled to have their film nominated for a "Best International
Feature Film" award at this Italian festival now in its fourth year. The ceremony
takes place on Monday, December 3, 2007. The winners in all categories will be
announced during the Grand Gala Award Ceremony to be held at the Manzoni Theater in
Rome. During the same evening three "Luigi Comencini International Awards" will be
given to three celebrities of the Italian movie industry. For more information on

Following a recent weekend that saw Life With
Fiona play two film festivals - Temecula Valley in Temecula, CA and Estes Park
in Estes Park, CO - and add two more awards to their growing list in the process
(winning both the Jury and Audience "Best Feature" prizes from Estes Park on
September 16th), filmmakers Davis and Lobb were understandably excited at the news
that their film was also the very first nominee ever for "Best International Feature
Film" at the soon-to-be named International Feature and Shortfilm Festival of Rome
(formerly known as the Il Corto Shortfilm Festival), the largest shorts festival in
Europe and one of the biggest in the world.

Festival president Mr. Romano Francisci explained, "In the past 4 years we've
screened more than 2200 short films in Rome, Florence, Pesaro, Naples, and Catania;
everywhere we went we were asked when we would open to feature films. We decided it
was the right time to rename the festival and to open to feature films that will now
compete in 3 categories: Best International Feature Film, Best Director, and Best
Cinematography. The selection was extremely difficult due to the high quality of
all of the films."

Says Life With Fiona producer Davis: "The
last few weeks have been the kind that get you through the tough ones, honestly. We
had an amazing time playing to great audiences in Temecula and as the Opening Night
Feature at Estes Park, so the two wins in Colorado were extra-sweet icing on the
cake, and then to get a phone call from Italy informing us that we have to go to a
black-tie awards gala in Rome this December almost feels like too much - but hey,
we'll take it!" he laughs. Adds Lobb: "I'm eager to go to Rome because I understand
they have really good Italian food there."

Life With Fiona follows office drone Scott Parker (Lobb) as he attempts to keep up
with his new girlfriend, free-spirited wild child Fiona Cerny (Avery Clyde). Scott
is a regular guy who\'s unlucky in love, and Fiona is his ideal woman: funny,
beautiful, and sexually aggressive. Unfortunately for Scott, she\'s also completely
insane.
