Be a part of movie history this week when the most anticipated Australian horror flick of the year, “The Tunnel” is uploaded online for free global download on Wednesday May 18 2011.

Just days away, the film’s co-producers/writers Enzo Tedeschi and Julian Harvey will seed the file on the internet following an exclusive Popcorn Taxi screening and Q&A with the film-makers and Andrew Denton in Sydney.

Off the back of its sell-out Popcorn Taxi and festival screenings, “The Tunnel” will make its way to the big screen, scaring film-goers starting June 8 2001, at 7.30pm for four weeks at Hoyts EQ in Sydney.

“The Tunnel” has attracted international and local interest based on its unique crowd-funding and not so traditional distribution model – the film is destined to reach the one of largest audiences ever for an independent film with a simultaneous release via the BitTorrent online network, a cinema release, 2-disc DVD set and an Australian PAY-TV broadcast on May 18 2011.

”Even though our unusual distribution model challenges the conventional way of doing things and many heavyweights in the industry will be watching this with interest, what is ultimately most important to us, is delivering a great movie to our fans. It is an awesome feeling to finally be so close to pushing it live for all of them to see what they have made possible”, said co-writer/producer, Enzo Tedeschi.

“Allowing our audience to own the film in as many ways possible from day one was a primary goal from the start. By going out on multiple platforms simultaneously, The Tunnel fans have the ultimate power to experience the movie in whichever way they choose. Even if it means, free” said executive producer and marketing director, Ahmed Salama of DLSHS.
