Distant Thunder TV?!-  Well, it looks as if Distant Thunder Films might expend into the television and braodcasting market.  Rumor has it that a new division is in the works to head up everything from soap operas, sit-coms, tv dramas, tv mini series, and news.  This would help Distant Thunder to allow better reception of outside ideas.  More people would be able to come to DT Films with their ideas and turn them into a tv show or mini series.  But nagotiations are still in the works.  We will keep you updated when the project is completed and we will provide contact information for you.  If you have an idea, please visit our <a href="home.html">HOME</a> page to get to the prinatable submittions page or just <a href="submit.html">CLICK HERE</a> for a submittions form.
