Gabriel
I just received this email from my good friend Sean so I'm doing my bit to promote his upcoming film Gabriel which is in cinemas this week. Do your bit by letting your friends, family or even strangers (you never know who might enjoy it or be interested) know about it and go see it!
Hello all,
Most of you know of my involvement in the exciting new Australian Feature Film 'Gabriel'.
Even if you don't know me or this film you have this email because you are in my address book one way or another.
This is a fully independent film financed by the private sector - no government bodies etc.
Sony were so impressed by this film that they bought the rights to it when it wasn't even complete.
However, the ball has largely been left in our court to get the word out there for this film. Sony has done 'some' advertising but nowhere near enough to make this film the success that it should be.
We need to pull out all stops to try and get the number 1 spot in the box office on our opening weekend.
Well that opening weekend starts this week on Thursday 15th November and will be monitored constantly by SONY from there on until the film is pulled off the cinema screens.
Thurs/Fri/Sat/Sun we need the number 1 spot.
Considering the ‘not so large’ scale of advertising campaign that Sony have allocated, we will need to pray that Chinese Whispers and the underground swell are big enough to push us over the line.
Everyone associated with this film is very proud of it and believe that people will enjoy what has been achieved, the impossible film made possible by a bunch of crazy humans going to extraordinary lengths.
But that doesn’t change the fact that the big machine judges success by ‘Bums on Seats’ and that’s where this email comes into effect.
It’s like a pyramid scheme, I tell you and you tell more etc, and try pass it on to as many people as you can.
We have already made Australian Cinema history with this film so far so lets take it all the way and change the way people accross the world perceive Australian Films - no more boring dramas set in the outback please.... You can be part of this change.
The opportunities for theatrical release around the world depend upon our success here in Australia and to SONY that really means number 1 in the box office.
Let’s just give this little battler, that just so happens to be better than most of the rehashed garbage that comes out of HOLLYWOOD, a fair crack at the world audience it deserves.
With humble thanks and regards
