Impact Entertainment and Starwire Corporation Lead EXTREMEDAYS Promotional Efforts
- - Tulsa, Okla., and HAYWARD, Calif., September 19, 2001 EXTREMEDAYS is just days away from its nationwide theater debut. This independent film, presented by Providence Entertainment and Truth Soul Armor, is an action-packed coming-of-age film that teenagers and young adults will find humorous, heart-warming, and highly entertaining. Like so many popular teen-centric films today, EXTREMEDAYS features spoofs, embarrassing moments, and love gone awry. But theres one big difference between EXTREMEDAYS and other teen films: it lacks offensive language, disturbing violence, and gratuitous sex scenes. EXTREMEDAYS aims to be entertaining, exhilarating, and amusing, while maintaining standards that promote ethical behavior for young adults. Howard Kazanjian, who produced Return of the Jedi, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and several other blockbuster movies, was brought in to executive produce EXTREMEDAYS."
