Haymoon Inc., the creators of the movie Witches Night, which was screened at M-Studios in the fall of 2007, has reached an overseas distribution deal and is also working towards a limited US release sometime in 2008. Andy Steil produced the 5.1surround sound mix for the film on the studio's Yamaha DM2000 v2 while listening to the shrieks and howls of the witches on the RMC-equipped JBL 4300 series monitors. "Doing a surround mix for a horror flick in downtown Galena at 2 in the morning with all the lights off ...I still have the goosebumps!" says a pale-faced Mr. Steil.
