Girls Rock Fans,
We are proud and happy and excited to finally announce that our movie is
now available on DVD! As of today, you can buy it in our
new online store on our new website...lots of NEW going on, perhaps in honor of our new president and the new year and all the general newness.
For those of you who've seen the movie already, aside from getting to have your own copy of the movie, you'll get to plunge into a veritable smorgasbord of extras features...we catch up with all the main girls three years later, there're full on-camera interviews with Carrie Brownstein and Beth Ditto, camp skits, history of Riot Grrrl and more!
And for a limited time (until March 1), if you purchase the movie on our website, you will be automatically entered into
a drawing for the last of those "Girls Rock!" customized Fender® Stratocaster guitars! This will be your last chance to get one of these beauties...
Please forward and post this good news wherever and however you can, as the more people who buy the movie directly from our site the closer Shane and Arne get to digging themselves out of debt enough to make another movie!
We especially encourage our fans and friends at
universities and schools to get their libraries and schools to buy a copy, as Girls Rock! has proven to be a great learning tool at a lot of levels. Here's what a professor at Western Kentucky University wrote us, completely unprompted:
"All I can say is "Wow!!" Without question one of the very best documentaries I've seen in 22 years of teaching at the university level. You achieved a very rare blend of humor, pathos, and poignancy. My students and I were enthralled. Having now seen the entire movie (I only watched about 10 minutes of it after it arrived yesterday), it's clear that I'll also need to use it in my sociology of gender and socialization courses."
We've gotten lots of great reviews, which you can
see quotes from on our new site, but it's still these kind of emails that blow us away. So be sure to let us know how you feel...
You can also reserve a rental copy at Netflix, which is very helpful to us even if you're going to buy a copy for yourself. It let's them know how many people are excited about our film so they can feature it more. And be sure to rate it highly and review it there!
Glad to be in touch with you all again,
Arne and Shane
PS. Not only is the DVD release almost here, but the soundtrack is now available! It's a benefit for the camp, with them getting %100 of the proceeds,
so be sure to buy a copy!
