ValloNicka Films was one of the finalists in the Mobiflicks competition as part of Christopher Coppola's Motown
PAH-FEST 2008 film festival. Christopher Coppola is the brother of Nicolas Cage and nephew of Francis Ford
Coppola.
The ValloNicka team shot a talking underwear movie called "Granny Panties", based on the short story "Why the
Granny Panty Told the G-String to Stick It" that was originally published in The Connecticut Review. The Connecticut
Review is a notable literary journal that has published the likes of Pultizer-prize winner John Updike.
"Sometimes in Life", the new feature from ValloNicka Films, was also an official selection for the Trinity Film Festival
2008 on August 2. "Sometimes in Life" is a dramedy about life, love, loss and two unlikely friends whose lives are stuck
in a rut. Jill is a fashion designer who thinks her lesbian girlfriend is cheating on her and Rob is mourning the loss of
his father.
The film features the music of two-time Grammy winner Ozomatli, Modest Mouse, Michael Franti and
Spearhead, Presley, Anilore, Amp Fiddler, Jamie McCarthy, Cetan Clawson, Bedford Drive, The Bloids, Mindizade
and more.
ValloNicka Films originally signed a deal with CreateSpace as part of the HD DVD Indies Project to present "Sometimes
in Life" to the Sundance Channel for possible broadcast on their network. Although the deal had to be canceled after
the announcement earlier this year that HD films would no longer be a standard, industry format, ValloNicka Films is
currently discussing the film with other distributors.
"Sometimes in Life" is the second feature from ValloNicka Films. Their first movie, "The Mongol King", joins Robert
Rodriguez's groundbreaking film "El Mariachi" as one of the five lowest-budget films ever to score a distribution deal.

Jamie McCarthy took his funky, soulful G. Love & Special Sauce/Jack Johnson/Citizen Cope vibe to the Taste of
Chicago where they played to about 2,000 people on the Best Buy stage at the Taste of Chicago festival last month.
Watch for Jamie's upcoming CD release party for "Salvation", sponsored by SPIN magazine.
In the meantime, watch for Jamie's guest appearance on Episode 8 of "Ced N Teri", the hilarious new series that gives
new meaning to "sit.coms".
Check out new tracks at www.myspace.com/jamiemccarthy. "Call Me Crazy" might be the most hilarious song you've
ever heard about wanting to kill someone. Because don't we all feel that way every once-in-a-while?
