Los Angeles, CA –In conjunction with the Premier of their Horror/Comedy film, Revamped, Millenium Concepts and VLine Productions are teaming up with American Red Cross Blood Services, Southern California and invite you to discover the power to help save lives by donating blood.  Revamped Producers Vahe and Vache Garabedian, along with writer, director, producer and star, Jeff Rector, are putting their blood where their mouths are and are stepping up to the plate. In addition to giving blood themselves, they are offering Red Cross blood donors a chance to win a pair of tickets to the Premier and After Party of Revamped.

“It’s the perfect match, Vampires and the Red Cross!  I was excited when Victor Lundin, veteran actor and co-star of the film, came up with the idea and made the call to the Red Cross,” said Rector. “We need to get the word out, and get more people to donate blood. There simply isn’t enough to go around and more people need to give blood to help save lives!”

Millenium Concepts and VLine Productions are hosting three Revamped blood drives during the month of March. To encourage others to give blood, everyone who signs up to donate blood or platelets at one of the Revamped blood drives will be invited to fill out an entry form for a chance to win one pair of tickets to the Premier and After Party of Revamped, March 31.  Three winners will be drawn, and winners will be notified by March 26.  Tickets are non-transferable and not redeemable for cash, and American Red Cross employees are not eligible. Rector, the star vampire, and the Garabedian brothers will be the first to donate and kick off the blood drives, Thursday, March 15, 12 p.m. at the Pasadena Red Cross donor center.
