CHANNEL MIDNIGHT WAS FOUNDED by writer and filmmaker James Felix McKenney (CANNIBALLISTIC!, HYPOTHERMIA) and producers Lisa Wisely (AUTOMATONS, SATAN HATES YOU) and Chase Tyler of The Work Room Productions as a means to distribute select titles from McKenney's filmography. Along the way they have come across impressive works by other talented filmmakers that screamed to be seen by their target audience.

JAMES FELIX MCKENNEY's first feature film was the horror / black comedy CANNIBALLISTIC!, which was co-produced by his company MonsterPants. He has served as a producer on Glass Eye Pix's ScareFlix film series which includes THE ROOST and TRIGGER MAN. McKenney is responsible for writing and directing the first film in the line, the quirky supernatural drama THE OFF SEASON, which premiered on Lionsgate home video as the #1 debut DVD renter in North America. This was followed up by the critically acclaimed, retro-styled, killer robot film AUTOMATONS, which played festivals around the world as well as extended theatrical runs in New York and Chicago. Currently playing festivals is McKenney's homage to Christian "scare" cinema, SATAN HATES YOU. His most recent writing/directing projects include HYPOTHERMIA from Dark Sky Films, premiering in 2010.

LISA WISELY and CHASE TYLER produce film and theater under their company The Work Room Productions. Lisa is the Producer of the critically acclaimed feature film AUTOMATONS as well as SATAN HATES YOU. She has worked as a Business Manager for several film companies and heads up the operations at Channel Midnight. Chase Tyler is a producer currently working on a new theatrical production called The Ride, a mobile entertainment experience in Times Square. In addition to their producing work which includes several film and theater projects in development, Lisa and Chase own a costume design company under the name Chase Tyler Design as well as Green Room Promotions, a merchandising company with a commitment to sourcing environmentally-friendly productions.

WHY ARE THERE NO AUDIO COMMENTARIES INCLUDED WITH THESE FILMS? We at Channel Midnight believe very strongly in keeping alive the tradition of treating motion pictures as events, to be enjoyed with respect for the film and the viewers' complete attention. This means, NO TALKING DURING THE MOVIE!!!

PLEASE DO NOT PIRATE, COPY OR REDISTRIBUTE our releases. Unlike the big studios and most distribution companies, Channel Midnight pays the artists whose work we distribute DIRECTLY for EVERY unit sold. This is no con or guilt trip -- it's the truth -- when you pirate a Channel Midnight disc or download, you aren't sticking it to The Man, nor is it a victimless crime. You really are hurting the "little guy" -- folks who put a lot of time, money and hard work into creating something for you to enjoy. So please, WE BEG YOU, do not steal from us or any of the talented people that we work with. Thank you.
