Viral Marketing

Hi friends,
It's been so long since I've written (Peter wrote that last one.) We're happy to be back, I think we weathered that last storm with that out of the blue media coverage. Gosh, who knew that a film that's not even done yet, that really no one knows much about would be news. Strange. Anyway, things are going along quite well. We've got about 40 minutes or so edited pretty well and about another 40 roughly edited. We're happy with our progress. People who have gotten a sneak peak say they wanted more and were bummed when the DVD went to black. We take that as a good sign. This weekend we're taking a little break because of the "Bridge School Benefit" which might as well be a national holiday for Don. He's quite the Neil Young fan (I would say freak but he might get mad.) We're all meeting tomorrow, Don may come up and slum for a while on the lawn with my family. He's so high brow. Anyway, about the subject at hand... do any of you know anything about Viral Marketing? We are interested in the little we know about this concept and want to learn more. We have plans to blog everywhere, get some of our stuff out on You Tube and do what ever it is you do on MySpace. If you all have other good ideas please share... either comment here or send us an email.

Other than that, we have established an LLC for the film. We feel pretty good about that. Now, we're doing things like setting up bank accounts, filing with the state and keeping books. This would all be really complicated if we actually had some business transactions, but since we're not making any money and we're not really spending any money right now, it's not the complicated. We did go out to lunch to see if our new Business Card worked, we spent $23.23. It worked.

Glad you all are coming back. Some of you were very diligent, checking the site even when we went dark. Thanks for caring, and don't worry, one of these days we're going to show you a heck of a movie!

Peace Out!

We're back.

We had to go stealth for a few months, but we're back. Not that we don't like attention, but we got a little too much earlier in the summer at a time when we needed to focus on the grunt work of making a movie.

In short, a TV station aired a news story about the documentary (without contacting us) and the story was subsequently picked up by the AP wire and reported on in five California papers. Some key details were misrepresented, and rather than have incorrect info in the public eye, we decided to shut down the site for a few months.
