Foxwood Falcons Optioned by Tapestry Films



Paramus, NJ - April 27, 2007 - FOXWOOD FALCONS, the independent comic
story by Darren Sanchez and After Hours Press, has been optioned by
Tapestry Films.

Tapestry Films has purchased the options for Darren Sanchez's newest
comic title, the Foxwood Falcons. The 20-year-old financing and
production company has produced features for its own library and for
most of the major studios and independent film companies.

Headed by Peter Abrams, Robert Levy and Andrew Panay, the Beverly
Hills-based production company's roster includes "Wedding Crashers,"
"National Lampoon's Van Wilder," "Pay It Forward," "The Wedding
Planner," "Serendipity," "She's All That" and "Point Break."

"Foxwood Falcons is an incredibly imaginative and adventurous story
reminiscent of "The Goonies" that will appeal to all ages." Abrams
said.

The comic is the story of a young teen with a super secret, and how he
and his friends face off against an ancient evil with the fate of
mankind on the line. Described by Sanchez as "the Goonies" meets
"Indiana Jones," the story is based on Sanchez's upcoming novel
series. Penciled by up and coming new artist, Mathew Tow, the graphic
novel for Foxwood Falcons will be released in Fall '08; available
through Diamond Comic Distributors and at Wizard World conventions.

"I'm excited to be working with Tapestry Films," says Sanchez, the
publisher of After Hours Press. "Their enthusiasm for this project is
high, and what they plan to do should be really amazing."

Darren Sanchez has also written Celestial Alliance, J.A.A.T. (Joint
Armored Attack Team), and Impossible Tales. He is represented by Jodi
Reamer, of the Writer's House Literary Agency in NYC.
