Tom DeSanto, Producer of X-Men and Transformers to judge the festival

The Big Bear Horro-Fi Film Festival announced Tom DeSanto as a judge for this year’s festival.  DeSanto is a writer/producer behind some of the biggest franchises in movie history.  His own project, Transformers, has become an overnight success and the third film in the series, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, hits movie theaters on June 29th, as fans eagerly await.  His X-Men movies alone spawned a billion dollar franchise.  Another additional hit was the “Battlestar Galactica” television series, which aired on the Sci-Fi channel.

“We are honored to have such a hugely talented judge for this years festival.  Filmmakers will get the best feedback and festival guests will get access and advice from the third highest grossing per film average of all producers working today,” said Christopher Gaida, Director of Programming.

“Tom has transformed the annual Comic-Con gathering in San Diego from a small bunch of closet nerds to one of Hollywood's biggest events.  What innovation he will bring to Hollywood in the future, I can only imagine,” said Kerry O’Quinn the creator of Fangoria, Starlog and Cinemagic magazine.

DeSanto joins the highly talented film composer Harry Manfredini on the judge’s panel for this year’s festival.
