Palm Beach, FL – The New Year starts off with a bang for the award-winning animated short, Zoom Suit, as it is scheduled to appear in the Southern Fried Flicks Film Festival on January 10 at the Imperial Theater in Augusta, Georgia airing at 6:00 pm and will then compete in the 2006 MoTV Awards held during the National Association of Television Production Executives (NATPE) meeting on January 23 at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas.

The second annual Southern Fried Flicks Film Fest showcases Southern independent films with a special emphasis on local and regional films. Southern Fried Flicks was developed to inspire, encourage and support films and filmmaking in the South.

With the worldwide demand for mobile content exploding and nearly 2 billion mobile phone users actually watching television on their cell phones, the first annual MoTV Awards is searching for the next big mobile hit show through the work of independent creators. Held at NATPE, the leading event for educating and making deals with global television producers and marketers at their annual summit, the audience for the awards will be comprised of top tier press, television, and mobile/wireless execs, and content creators, acquirers and carriers/distributors.

“We love the attention, but we’re afraid the comic book may be allocated” said Zoom Suit creator John Taddeo. “We wanted preview copies for retailers, so we printed the book based upon a best guess in late November. With the increased exposure, it appears that estimate was woefully low. If you want a copy of Zoom Suit, please reserve one at your local comic shop as soon as possible.”

The award-winning animated short Zoom Suit, created by John Taddeo, can be seen online at www.superverse.com. The Zoom Suit comic book will be solicited under Superverse in the February edition of Previews for items shipping in April 2006.
