It’s getting closer to D day for director Gonzalo Lopez producer Javier Rueda and I; the day where our short film OLD NUMBER 7 will premiere at this year’s SITGES FILM FESTIVAL. And we got a bit of good news to keep us going till we get there.

Iconic band IRON MAIDEN has approved our usage of one of their songs (Face in the Sand) in our film; granted its for film festival showings only and not commercial usage but hey man, it’s fucking Maiden and we couldn’t be happier. Hopefully by the time distribution knocks on our door, we’ll scrounge up enough money to use the song there as well.

IRON MAIDEN was my first concert ever and the first band I ever worshiped (yup the horror covers got my attention then the music kept me there…to this day). Gonzalo and I actually wrote the OLD NUMBER 7 screenplay while listening to Maiden, so having one of their songs in the actual film – if only for Festival usage (for now) – feels so damn right!
