Getting the Word Out

Hello all.
Sorry I haven't been blogging lately. I wrote this really long blog after our screening last month and it got erased right away which annoyed me so I lost my enthusiasm to write after that. But don't worry, I'm back!!! Things have been going well. We've been tweaking away since the screening and now we're really trying to nail down the narration issue. If this can happen in the next 6 weeks or so we are going to try for a Toronto submission... everyone send their good Karma!

Yesterday we sent out our inaugural news letter. We got a ton of response from Witch Hunt fans. We also had a flurry of activity on our website. If you're not on our mailing list please let us know you're out there and we'll send you up to date information on the film and how you can take part of our grassroots effort to tell this important story! Here's our first newsletter for those of you who didn't get it!

Hello Friends.

This is the inaugural monthly "news letter" for our film An American Witch Hunt. Many of you have been following the progress of this movie for the last two years and now we are finally proud to report that we have a feature length cut of the documentary. Thanks to those of you in Northern California who came to the first screening of the film. The feedback was very positive and, more importantly, very useful. When you see the next cut of the film you will probably notice some of your ideas reflected in the changes we made. Since that screening we have been meeting with post production houses coast to coast trying to figure out the best way to put the final touches on both the audio and visuals of the film. Most of our efforts right now are going into finding the perfect narrator for the project. We hope to have an announcement on this soon. Also, we will be starting our fundraising drive any day now... so stay tuned for that.

We are trying to spread the word about this important documentary. If you want to be a part of our grassroots effort we'd love to have you. Please check out our website and write to us to let us know what you think. Let us know your ideas about how to get the word out. We want An American Witch Hunt to have buzz before anyone in the film world even knows much about it. Tell your friends and tell us about your friends so we can add them to our network which is 200 people strong, and growing! The injustice that happened to the wrongly accused in this film and their families needs to come to light. Please be a part of our team to make this happen.

See you soon in the theatres.

Thanks for your support!

Dana Nachman and Don Hardy

Here's my blogging tip - one which I can't seem to follow, but sounds so damn good, I'm passing it on - post at mininum once a week, like Wednesday - thinking Witch Hunt Wednesday. Even if it's trivial, not much to report kinda post, that's OK. Be consistent. Build your AAWH commmunity. Oh, and give us an RSS feed so we can subscribe to The Lucky Exit Blog - then when our RSS reader (I use MyYahoo) gets the new post, I'll come visit and read. And comment. And give tons of $$$.

I am working on the RSS feed. My web skills are rudimentary, so it may take a little bit to figure it out, but I am reading up, and it'll happen.
