Nazi Gold Sells Indie Film Indie DVD To Release Film "Devil's Keep" With Verified Treasure Map

PORTLAND, OR (September 16, 2002): IndieDVD announced today the Collector's Edition DVD of The Devil's Keep is to be released September 24, 2002 with a verified treasure map to the locations of gold missing since 1945. "The Devil's Keep," is directed by Don Gronquist (Unhinged) and stars Danny Perkin (To My Daughter with Love, Dr. Giggles) and Gathering Marbet (West Wing, Claire of the Moon).

The Devil's Keep is the story of two teenagers running for their lives while trying to find hidden Nazi treasure that had been buried by the Nazis as they fled Germany during the deterioration of the Nazi Empire. The two are pursued by Nazis in the hopes that the teens will lead them to the hidden gold as well as CIA agents who are trying to keep the relationship between the U.S. government and ex-Nazis a secret.

To promote the film the DVD will feature an interactive treasure map that reveals historically verified locations holding gold and art hidden by the Nazis. The map is the result of a two-year research project, commissioned by IndieDVD that compiled witness accounts with historical geographic escape routes and documented partial discoveries of the missing treasures. The missing treasures range from gold bars from the Reichbank to the world famous Russian "Amber Room." The Amber Room alone is valued at $250 million dollars and consists of 100,000 pieces of carved amber paneling covering 55 square meters, it was commissioned by Frederick I of Prussia in 1701, and later was presented to the Russian Czar Peter the Great.

On August 6TH 2002, the Associated Press reported that a small amount of the treasure was recovered even before the maps could be publicized when a diver discovered a solid gold cauldron in Bavaria's Chiemsee Lake. "That's what happens when you begin an international, two year research project into the location of millions dollars of missing gold and treasure – the word leaks out," comments Jonah Loeb, President of IndieDVD. "There are plenty of other locations that we identify on The Devil's Keep DVD, including crates that were also seen being dumped in the Chiemsee Lake by the retreating German convoy in April of 1945, the cauldron is just the beginning."

DVD special features include:
· Director's Commentary · Interactive Map of Hidden Nazi Treasure · Nazi Conspiracy Featurette
