Not Evil Just Wrong: Documentary Filmmakers Tap Into the Conservative Movement Online for Their Upcomming Premiere
ByOne of the difficulties in the movie business is finding a distributor for your independently financed and produced masterpiece. Anecdotal evidence suggests that can be particularly difficult if your film’s prospective audience is conservative America.
So, what do you do when Hollywood turns you down? You turn to the internet. The filmmakers behind Not Evil Just Wrong have set up a web page that coordinates a national U.S. premiere on October 18th in local theaters, school projection rooms, and living rooms. Here, in pertinent part, is their pitch:
“Help Us Make History! Be Part of a World Record for the largest ever simultaneous film premiere. OCTOBER 18th 2009 8 pm EST. Have YOUR own CINEMATIC TEA PARTY!”
They have put together an excellent promotional checklist for people looking to promote home-made premiere events online… and they even have an affiliate program for bloggers interested in selling copies of the DVD.
Those who think this might be a fun activity for your group of local compatriots, the website features a contest for those hosting premieres: A grand prize trip to Ireland.
Below, you’ll find the trailer for the movie and a thumbnail link to the website, where you can learn more about setting up your own local premiere.
