April 15th 2002 (Director-Peter von Puttkamer, Producer- Sheera von Puttkamer)  Wins two top PLATINUM awards at the 35th Annual Houston International Film Festival- WORLDFEST HOUSTON, one of the largest and most prestigious festivals in North America.  _________________________________________________________ NEW YORK INTERNATIONAL INDEPENDENT FILM AND VIDEO FESTIVAL Monster Hunters,is a terrific look at the real people who hunt for legendary creatures around the world. Puttkamer travels the world, in part to tell the story of such fantastic oddities as the Jersey Devil, Puerto Rico's chupacabras or Australia's Yowie, but also to explore the personalities of those who seek that which may not exist. Blending folklore, scientific investigation and thrill seeking, Puttkamer never condescends to his subjects, even when they're talking about alien vampires.                                                                  Mark Olsen,  LA Weekly They (Monster Hunters) are excellent. I was mesmerized beyond words so much so that I see no doubt in this becoming a excellent exclusive Television show. It is absolutely universal...I was so engrossed when I watched it that I was left wanting for more.                                                                    Anoo Cottoor, Artistic Director                 NEW YORK INTERNATIONAL INDEPENDENT FILM FESTIVAL
