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.

red nose day

i always loved red nose days, esp. the comedy red nose charities days frm the UK. well, when i look at the REC red dot i thought ‘hmmm. i can see THAT as a red nose day thing but with a horror slant’.

THE PITCH: do stand up comedy at yr local ‘amatuer night’ comedy club wearing a red ‘REC2’ nose.(or just busk it if u live outside main centres)

EXAMPLE: Comedian zombie wearing ‘red nose’- “knock knock?’

Audience- whose there?”

Comeidan zombie-‘REC’

Audience- ‘REC who?’

Comedian zombie- ‘REC2!!” (then u throw out red noses with the opening dated on them to the crowd!

RESULT?  pople will spread the word at parties/ the pub etc  (‘hey, wanna hear a joke? a REAL SCARY JOKE?…” and  retell it and it will be viral. Mebbee even the pro comedians’ll start doing it!i am hyped for rec2 !!!

Judges Comment : You sir are a fucking moron. This is the worst idea on earth. And even better than just being a shit idea, you have delivered a big fat zero. It’s just an idea. We’re after an executed idea. Jesus H Christ is everyone in NZ a fucking lobo patient? Please don’t give up your day job mate… I’m sure ‘Useless Prick’ pays very well
