Please help The Imaginarium Of Dr. Parnassus find distributors!

Attention everyone!!
For your information, Theresa has started a forum to obtain a US Distributor and wide release throughout the world of Dr. Parnassus. To quote Theresa: "Things are not looking good for a decent release for this film and we can help change that. This is his last movie and the bottom line is, if we want it seen, we better do something about it."
Theresa did this in the past, to promote Heath's movie "Candy", and her site "addicted to the movie Candy" had a lot of success and contributed a lot to promoting the movie. I'm quoting here this message from Theresa:
Ok everyone, the forum is up and functional and ready to be posted on. I am so grateful to all of you who have already registered. Thank you for that.
Please go on and start to post. Have fun! You will notice that I made a forum for each of the main actors, which means there is one for Heath, Johnny, Colin, Jude, etc. So you have your own mini heath forum there to have a ball in, just start a new thread for each new topic. Have a blast. And, you don't have to post serious stuff or stuff about Dr. Parnassus in the Heath thread or threads for the other actors if you are a fan of them. Please know that it is vital that we post and keep posting and that we participate. I am adding things as quickly as I can and I have a great group of people helping. Please spread the word about the forum and please encourage folks to join and participate. If your friends aren't Heath fans, but say a Johnny fan for example, remember it's a movie of his that most of them won't get to see either if we don't get this movie in wide release. There are so many countries who have not purchased distribution rights to this film. It affects all of us, not just the USA and we will be making contact and trying to get it shown in as many countries as possible. So if you're not from the USA, don't think we don't need your help because we are fighting to get it in your country too. Also, for the countries it is showing in we are fighting to get it shown in more theaters there as well.
We can make a difference, we made a great deal of difference with the distributorship of Candy. Luke Davies, who wrote the movie and I have remained very close friends ever since. We owe it to Heath. This is the very last time we can ever promote one of his movies for him and if we don't, the majority of his fans are never going to see it on a movie screen because it simply isn't going to be shown. We learned a lot from Candy and we are respected by these people and have some very good connections because of that campaign. Also, this is not a "foreign" film and due to its cast it should be easier to garner support and a fan base, but the public has to know this film is out there. Just because we know as Heath fans doesn't mean the average Joe on the street knows anything about it even existing.
We don't need folks to just register then not participate. That won't help. We need them to post. Just one post per day per member would be a tremendous help.
The "powers that be" (distributors) watched the candy support forum like a hawk and watched the numbers of members and the numbers of posts because to them that translates into butts in the theater seat and that means $$$.
We are fighting for a distributor for any country which does not have one for the film and for wide release for those countries who do. If we don't, this movie just isn't going to be seen by most of us.
Thank you all so very much.

Unfortunately, this thread has been deleted due to the technical problems mentioned here:
--- Quote ---Early today, the forum was experiencing technical difficulty with lots of errors. Several attempts were made to fix the problem but not successful.
As the last resort to bring the forum back to a working condition without significant interruption, a restoration of using backup copy was done. Inevitably, some data were lost. The backup was created on March 2 which means all the posts and personal messages, new users registered between March 2 and prior to restoration are lost. As you browse the forum, you may recognize some discrepancy.
New Registered Users between March 2 - March 12 will need to register again.
We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. If you have any question, please post in the following thread or contact any mods.

Bless your hearts, thank you for re-starting the thread. We lost our whole Candy forum at one point and couldn't get it back. We were heartbroken so I'm so thankful you got it back.
I came to let you know I just added over 20 new Heath Parnassus photos to the gallery so we now have 33. If you go to the link I give you here on the forum it will give you the link to the new photos. They're adorable.
