BURBANK, CA (February 20, 2010) — Charles Bornstein, editor on such horror

classics as HALLOWEEN and THE FOG, has joined the post-production team of

BOX OF SHADOWS, editing the new horror thriller by director Mauro Borrelli

and producers Ed Polgardy and Scott Rudolph.

“We are absolutely thrilled to have Charles Bornstein editing this picture,” said

Borrelli. “He brings emotion to every moment and best of all, is a master at

cutting scary scenes.”

“We are very pleased with the material we have shot, and having Charles in the

editing room will push it to an ever higher level,” said Polgardy.

Bornstein, a 35 year Hollywood veteran, has edited movies in the FRIDAY THE

13TH, HOWLING, RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD, CRITTERS, and PSYCHO

franchises. His experience in the horror genre is a perfect match for Borrelli’s

dark thriller about a 15th-century coffin that allows a group of college friends to

experience the world as ghosts.

“The story and material for Box of Shadows is edgy, scary, and extremely

entertaining,” said Bornstein. “This movie should be a real treat for fans of dark

material.”

Bornstein is joined on the post production team by visual effects supervisor

Maxim Matthew of Maxim Matthew Creations. Matthew is overseeing the film’s

many visual effects sequences, including images of ghosts, a mechanical reaper,

and a 15th-century supernatural coffin packed with gears and other moving

parts.

Matthew, a visual effects producer currently based in Los Angeles and Berlin,

has numerous international horror film credits, including HEADHUNTER: THE

ASSESSMENT WEEKEND and URBAN SCUMBAGS VS. COUNTRYSIDE

ZOMBIES.

“Box of Shadows is a real playground for a visual effects artist,” said Matthew.

“Borrelli has an amazing imagination, and bringing his vision to life is a real

treat.”

BOX OF SHADOWS is slated for release in Summer of 2010.
