The Third Annual Danville International Children’s Film Festival
running May 19-21, 2006, has named Zoom Suit an official selection. The
selection marks the sixty-second film festival appearance of the award-winning
animated short since its premiere in April 2005.
“The film festivals have been a spectacular way to expose the comics
hobby to new fans,” said John Taddeo, Zoom Suit creator.
“It’s like reaching out and dragging in new readers, one headlock at
a time.”
The Danville International Children’s Film Festival is a unique opportunity
for fans to view over 75 films, some made for children and others made by
children. Last year, the event brought over 4,500 film enthusiasts to enjoy
screenings of independent films in three locations, special events, autograph
sessions, seminars for filmmakers and actors, and an awards ceremony.
Presented by the California Independent Film Festival Association and the
Town of Danville, it’s the only festival of its kind in the western U.S. Visit

Copies of the Zoom Suit #1 comic book, shipping April 26, were
originally intended to be brought to the festival for distribution. However, the
issue completely sold out of its print run of 20,000 and will be allocated to
comic shops.
“We printed 5,000 copies for events such as this, but the comic shop
orders came in triple our estimation,” said Taddeo. “Kicking in
every copy we had planned for film festivals we are still short
thousands.”
