Winner Von, in the speciality round, performed a Zombie school girl strip with a bottle of fake blood to the sound of Rob Zombies ‘Living Dead Girl’ .

The two runners-up were Misty Moores (an “undercover agent and all round swell gal” who likes “likes swinging, jiving, ducking and diving,”) and Collette Von Tora who described herself as a “Zombie freak extraordinaire who has been to BOTH Manchester Zombie walks and has recently been a regular Zombie for the 'How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse' show.

The finalists were judged on various categories, including their ‘zombie-ness’, their special skills (which included piano playing, escaping from a strait jacket, zombie painting and burlesque routines), overall sexiness as well as their answers to the questions posed to them by the show’s host, Pervo the Clown (aka Warren Speed, the film’s writer, director and star).

Revolver Entertainment’s Home Entertainment Marketing Manager Mike Hewitt commented; “With Warren Speed, the film’s director, being a well-known male burlesque performer around the UK, we were proud to have staged the UK’s first ever Miss Zombie Queen beauty pageant to help promote the release of his film”.

“We were inundated with applications from girls willing to take part, and selecting all of the entrants down to the final ten proved to be a hard task. However, we are delighted with all of our final contestants, and the evening proved to be such a success, we are already looking at hosting another event next year and making this an annual event.”

The seven other finalists on the night were Dolly Carrots, Lucy Purrington, Tamsin Greenbank, Stephanie Patton, Laura Carson, Bea DeVile and Laura Scott.

The evening was also supported with burlesque performance from Banbury Cross, Hell’s Belle, Betty D’Light and Marnie Scarlett as well as a live performance from the rock group Killer B-Movie.

Kevin Lewis never had a chance. Growing up on a poverty-stricken London council estate, beaten and starved by his parents, bullied at school and abandoned by social services, his life was never his own.

Even after he was put into care, he found himself out on the streets caught up in a criminal underworld that knew him as 'The Kid'...

Based on the international bestseller published in 2003, which has now sold over half a million copies, this is his heartbreaking and inspiring story.

Director: Nick Moran

Starring: Rupert Friend, Ioan Gruffudd, Natascha McElhone, Bernard Hill, James Fox, Jodie Whittaker, Alfie Allen

Leading UK distributor Revolver gives subversive British artist’s first foray into filmmaking a nationwide theatrical canvas

LONDON. The UK’s most innovative film distributor Revolver Entertainment is to release celebrated British graffiti artist Banksy’s first feature film Exit Through the Gift Shop, on March 5.

“Banksy is an iconic figure in contemporary British culture.  It’s an honour to be involved in such an exciting and uncompromising project,” says Revolver’s CEO Justin Marciano. 

Banksy is a graffiti artist with a global reputation whose work can be seen on walls from post-hurricane New Orleans to the Palestinian segregation wall in the West Bank. Fiercely guarding his anonymity to avoid prosecution Banksy has so far resisted all attempts to be captured on film. The film contains exclusive footage of Banksy, Shephard Fairey, Invader and many of the world’s most infamous graffiti artists at work, on walls and in interview.

Revolver Entertainment, one of the leading independents, is a multi-award winning, marketing-led, all rights film distributor that continues to shake up the industry with a unique, innovative approach to managing releases. Founded in 1997, the company has operations in both London and Los Angeles.
