I have been promoting our film madly - I've created fliers to post, little 'cards' to hand out to people, and I've sent out batches of emails in groups (I still have lots more to send out!). The only way we are going to win is if we ALL promote like MAD! Below I have copied the email I sent out to the Whaddya group - use it or change it to suit your needs. I've attached the flier and 'cards' - you can change them or use them as is. Please tell EVERYONE YOU KNOW! Make sure they rate it!!! There are many problems with the mac site - the main ones that affect us are 1. You can't search by our movie name - it doesn't work. 2. Using the email to a friend function on our page sends a link that doesn't work (or it didn't last time I checked). 3. The only thing that seems to work is searching by our team name - whaddyagonnadoaboutit Thanks! Whaddya Gonna Do About It? team entered the Insomnia Film Festival Turn 24 hours into a 3-minute masterpiece The list of elements were given out at 9am EST on October 13th, we shot at 3 locations, our visual effects master Andrew Coggeshall was importing and working while we set up for the next shots. I was importing footage into Final Cut by 6pm. By 2am I had picture-lock and I handed off to John Madden for scoring. Dana Jae proved to be the marathan champion by mixing and compressing at the wee hours of the morning to get it uploaded by 9am EST on October 14th. It was a fantastic learning experience - and we ended up with a pretty cool little movie. AND WE NEED YOUR HELP TO WIN!!! There were 3000 entries this year, so competition will be tough. You can help by watching and rating movies - the 25 entries with the highest rating on November 9 at 12:00 a.m. EST will be screened by industry professionals, including Barry Sonnenfeld, James Mangold, and Nora Ephron. The biggest hit with either the public or the pros, each member of the team will receive a MacBook Pro with Final Cut Studio 2, Logic Studio, and Shake! THIS PRIZE WILL HELP US MAKE MORE MOVIES! So... I encourage you to check it out! Please tell all of your friends & family, too! You have to create a Mac ID - if you have ever ordered from Mac or iTunes, you already have one. You will also need Quicktime Player - available for free download at Mac. Whaddya Gonna Do About It?
