FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release)Jul 14, 2008 – PASADENA, CA – Eric Colley’s independent film, GPS, puts a thrilling and quirky spin on GPS treasure hunts, a hi-tech version of old-fashioned scavenger hunting.  For the first time in feature film history, the GPS device that fueled an amazingly popular hobby has morphed into a movie that is already a crowd favorite. The movie has its Action On International Film Festival (AOFFEST) Premiere at the festival’s Opening Night: Friday, July 25th at 8 PM at the Laemmle Theatre at One Colorado Blvd (42 Miller Alley) in Pasadena.
  GPS is nominated for two awards at AOFFEST: Action Film of the Year and Best Visual Effects. The movie previously took home the honor of Best Film at the Tacoma Film Festival, and film critic Matthew Green says, “The suspense, suspicions, and surprises will delight fans of scary movies.”
GPS tells the story of a pair of scavenger hunt enthusiasts who embark on a camping trip with a group of old friends, following the trail of a mysterious invitation with hopes of finding money.  When the trail leads them to photographs of a masked woman tied to a chair along with a new set of GPS coordinates, the group questions if the woman is in grave danger or part of an elaborate game.
GPS treasure hunting has been growing in popularity for over five years with millions of players and more than 250,000 hidden treasures in 200 countries. This relatively new sport has fast become a worldwide phenomenon. GPS treasure hunting is a sport in which “hunters” use a handheld global positioning satellite system, while combing forests, resorts, parks, even indoor locations in search of “treasure.” The moviemakers have launched their own version of the game (www.GPStheGame.com), complete with online puzzles, mystery, and live treasure hunts. Watch for clues and treasure codes hidden in the actual movie!
