JOKER FILM PRODUCTIONS INITIAL MOTION PICTURE PRODUCTION “SHOUTING SECRETS” SWEEPS AWARDS AT

SAN FRANCISCO`S 36^th AMERICAN INDIAN FILM FESTIVAL 2011

Los Angeles, November 14, 2011 –

Joker Film Productions, a Swiss based film production company, won BEST FILM for their first feature “Shouting Secrets” at the American Indian Film Festival 2011 in San Francisco last Saturday night. It is a big honor for producer/director Korinna Sehringer, not being Native American herself, to receive this prestigious award.

The two principles of Joker Film Productions, Korinna Sehringer and Josef Bollag were on hand to receive the accolades from their peers and the enthusiastic audience for their tireless determination in bringing this heartfelt story to the big screen.

Chaske Spencer received the award for Best Actor for his lead role as Wesley Bishnik. In a few days the next TWILIGHT installment goes into wide release where Chaske will be in front of his growing fan base again.

Tyler Christopher, who portrays Tushka was acknowledged for his superb performance with the Best Supporting Actor award by the American Indian Film Institute, presenters of the annual film festival. Tyler is known from the popular daytime television series GENERAL HOSPITAL and currently from the TV series THE LYING GAME.

Korinna Sehringer and Josef Bollag, Producers of SHOUTING SECRETS, demonstrated optimum collaboration across international frontiers in their pursuit to develop, produce and release a motion picture with an exceptional, exciting cast & crew; an outstanding soundtrack by singer/songwriter Lisbeth Scott and Matthias Weber; stunning visuals of native lands; and a story which touches the heart and soul in each of us. SHOUTING SECRETS is a story about a Native American family with unique struggles - but universal truths.

Meanwhile, the producers evaluate options and opportunities around a major release for SHOUTING SECRETS - a timely, quality production at the high point of a major cycle in demand for indigenous themed films - worldwide.

The San Francisco audience was raving: SHOUTING SECRETS is one of the new “must see” independent film hits!!

~~~~  MANY MANY MANY Congratulations to Korinna on her great work! ~~~~~~
