THINKfilm has just given us a definite release date of November 17, 2006. This frightens me as it is smack at the beginning of the holiday film season. I will not lie to you, my insider, who actually buys the films for for showing for one of the biggest film exhibitors in North America (the people we have to impress with our campaign) tells me in all honesty that they wish anyone but THINKfilm was distributing this film. THINK is very small and timid and they don't have a reputation in the exhibitors for properly presenting their films for distribution. This is such a shame and makes our job all the more important.
We have had a very difficult time understanding THINK's logic in this matter, however, when you can't get sensible answers, then you circumvent the problem and take the campaign in the appropriate direction on your own. This is by NO means a lost cause, that's not what I'm saying, but what I am saying is that it makes our work more vital for the survival of this very pertinent film.
We need numbers. Please go to everyone you know who will join that forum for you. Please. I so believe in this project that believe me I have no problem begging for your help.
You guys have been amazing, absolutely amazing.
We are starting our contact in the United Kingdom today with their distributor of the film and are moving forward in the fight to have the film distributed there as we have been made. It will open there on November 3, 2006.
If there is anyone here that is bi-lingual who would be willing to spend just a few minutes a day answering posts from international members, please pm me at ATTMC. Frog123 is taking care of the French speaking folks for me and Ingrid is taking care of the German speaking folks, but I am in need of Portuguese and Spanish and Italian at this point.
Any language skills in any language would be a blessing. This is a world wide campaign and though they can read the forum through our Babblefish package, some people have trouble writing English and are unable to ask their questions or post and participate. There's very little work to it really. Just a few minutes a day. Please let me know if you or someone you know might be willing to help us there.
Thankyou guys you are such a blessing to this campaign and to my life.
Hugs
Theresa
