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.

SUBMISSIONS
Hi Everyone,
thanks for your patience.
It’s going to take us a little longer to judge all the entries of the competition.
People are still creating and submitting at the last minute and we really want to see if those entries catch fire. Ultimately they all help the release of the film which is what this is all about. So please don’t panic, we want to make sure that the final decisions are based on all relevant information.
Package up everything you have done for the [REC]2 BUZZ contest and send it in an email to me at [ant@woosh.co.nz]
Well done to all who participated. You have all supported the release of a cool film that might not have made it to the bigscreen without your innovative ideas.
