Straight, married, white men love the movie!

We had a recent big ah ha. We've been getting interviewed for the Cinequest premiere by a lot of San Francisco and San Jose mainstream press and every one of the reporters have been straight, white, married men. They tell us they "had no idea this was going on" and by their other comments, they clearly get what we are trying to say and do. Some grew up Christian or the like and have since not been affiliated with a church. Their comments were striking to us as it helped us understand our scope of people who can really rally behind these people and these issues in the documentary. We were extatic to have their support, it gave us great hope that they are representative of a truly thinking public that will accept this movie and be moved to make positive change in their world.

So, a little on how the PR process has been working lately..we partner with Cinequest's PR team to come up with ways to pitch our movie to press outlets. They have a bazillion of movies to push, they only have so much bandwidth so it's up to us to kick it into gear and make it happen at a grass roots level. When Cinequest gets a request for interview, they contact us, acting as our PR rep since most of us indy filmmakers can't afford a PR person on retainer.

Lately, we've been contacted by the Metro, San Jose Mercury News, KFJC radio, KUSP radio, the Spartan Daily and several others have put us in their events calendar.

We've grown up in this area so seeing this community give back to us and support the movie means a lot.
