The Official Cherrybomb Campaign has been launched by ICM and The Little Film Company in order to ensure the widest possible cinematic release for Cherrybomb!
In the present financial climate, it is proving difficult to sell
independent movies to distributors; however, if the fans worldwide
express their enthusiasm for Cherrybomb, then the chances of securing a distribution deal will rise dramatically! Here’s how you can get involved.
CHERRYBOMB PETITIONS:
There are six separate
petitions targeting the
U.S., the
U.K.,
Germany,
France,
Italy and
Brazil.
United States Cherrybomb Petition
United Kingdom Cherrybomb Petition
Brazil Cherrybomb Petition
Germany Cherrybomb Petition
Italy Cherrybomb Petition
France Cherrybomb Petition
Warning: If your country is not listed but you are near any
of these locations and can see the film, then sign it! (for example, if you're from Canada, sign the US petition; if you're from Mexico, sign both the US and Brazil petitions) We promise to include other areas
soon.
Note: When you sign the petition,
you can also leave a comment!!! Write
something simple, like: “I am from Los Angeles and would love to see
this movie come to my theater. It looks really interesting, the trailer looks great etc….” Our petition will be viewed by industry professionals, and we need them to take us seriously.
WHAT ELSE YOU CAN DO:
Spread the word about these petitions! Invite your friends and family to sign! Also, if you frequent any of these, post the petition links:
myspace
facebook
live-journal
bebo, twitter and other social networking sites
youtube
message boards on movie sites, celebrity sites, forums
blogs and websites that you’re involved with
fan listings, mailing lists
How To Market Cherrybomb:
Here’s an example of what you can use to post to these communities. Remember to alter it depending on where you post it.
Dear Friends,
I am a fan of Rupert Grint who is
most famous for his role as Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter films. As
you know I have eagerly been waiting for his independent movie
Cherrybomb to be released in theaters!
I have just received word that there is a bit of a struggle,
as distribution companies think that only there aren't enough people interested in Cherrybomb. We would like to prove them wrong,
so we have composed a petition and we need your signature to show that,
if given the opportunity, you would actually go and see this film!
Please follow this link, sign and leave your comment for Cherrybomb!
If you run a Brazilian, German, Italian, French or any other fan-site and have additional questions, ideas, comments please contact us: staff@rupert-grint.us We would love to work with you and make sure the news is properly presented/translated to your readers!
