This is going to be a busy Spring. Stephen just got back from a successful screening in Virginia, Mike is off to Martha’s Vineyard this weekend, and Anthony is going to be on KCRW’s show The Business today.
Here’s the cliff’s notes version of what’s going on:
First off, we had a really awesome sold out screening at the Cinefamily here in Los Angeles. It was rad to see a bunch of friends we met at Sundance come out to catch the film. Check out the video from the screening below:
The demand was so high for tickets, that we’re having a SECOND LOS ANGELES SCREENING NEXT WEEK on March 16th at the Downtown Independent. This one is going to be even more special. Filmmaker John August is going to host the Q+A afterwards, and tickets are only $7!
We all read John’s blog on an almost daily basis – it’s essential reading for screenwriters – so to have him there to support us is really amazing. For anyone who missed the last one, or anyone who wants to see the movie again – this is a great chance.
In the meantime, we’ve been setting up screenings all across the US. Massachusetts, Tennessee, Ohio, and Upstate NY screenings are all confirmed, and we have dozens more in the works. If you’re at all interested in hosting a screening at your local theatre, college, or even in your living room – don’t hesitate to email us. We want to share our film with as many people as possible.
The last thing I want to quickly say – all of this crazy momentum surrounding our movie – it’s all because of word-of-mouth. We haven’t invested one cent into any sort of traditional marketing (we don’t actually have one cent to do this). So for anyone who has facebooked about us, or tweeted about us, or said to their friend “hey i saw this great movie, and you should check it out” – THANK YOU. You are the reason why people are continuing to discover our film, and we couldn’t be more appreciative.
Onward,
Mike
