The Rec2 $5K Buzz Challenge

Indie films wage an ongoing war with major releases for awareness and promotion in a cluttered market space. It’s a war independent films are losing. Some cool films deserve to be seen in cinemas with an audience of fans. Films like REC2, the terrifying sequel to the horror hit REC.

REC2 will be released in a few New Zealand theatres on Black Friday (13 Nov), and I’m helping the distributor – Vendetta Films – to get the word out. The catch? They only have a few thousand to market it.

So I pitched Vendetta to let me give away 75% (Five Thousand Dollars Cash) to any individual(s) who promote (Buzz) the movie REC2 in the boldest and most innovative fashion. They said yes.

To be in to win the $5k all you need to do is use the untapped power of your mind. How’s that for a recession buster? For more information, read here and here.

ZOMBIE BEAR UPDATE 5

We also managed to get a small, but Zombie-riffic post on ZMonline.com!!
They’ve informed us they get over a million page impressions each month. With any luck a good crowd of those visitors will find their way to Rec 2.

The little furry undead bear met his new owner today. Being the generous guy that he is- not only did this fellow adopt a homeless Zombie Bear, but he donated some extra funds for us to pass on to the SPCA. I hope Karma smiles on him for that. We also uploaded a copy of the Zombie Bear radio ad on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2o6G2nYyU8&feature=channel
