The years seem to go by very quickly and with so many new things happening in Port Gamble, you must come out and see us.
We want to thank everyone who has been supporting the businesses in Port Gamble by visiting them, bringing friends and guests and, of course, shopping.
I want to give you an update on the “Zombies of Mass Destruction” movie. We have word from producer John Sinno that “he has just signed with After Dark Films for the distribution as part of their HorrorFest 4. The movie will be in theaters in late January (30 markets) and on DVD in April/May through Lions Gate and ultimately air on SYFY Channel and IFC.”
Congratulations to Sinno and the entire cast and crew. I know that everyone who saw the October premier in Port Gamble loved the movie. We can’t wait to show it again.
