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 3 As his auction draws to a close, Zombie Bear thought he’d campaign by visiting an office building in the CBD. He got a little drunk and did some things he’s not proud of [see pics], but he did make some new friends. He’s also started his own group on Facebook [Search for: Zombie Bear Groupies] where he’ll be posting the photos from his various outings throughout the week.. he’s asked a LOT of people for dates to Rec 2. He’s a shameless flirt- hope his new owner is prepared for him. JUDGES COMMENT : Wow this little zombie bear sure got around. A big winning big on trademe plus 5500 views and he hit the radio waves too. Great effort all round.

This is one of our guerilla tactics - posting the link at the New World noticeboard & at cafes around town. We wanted to get the NW security camera footage but they said not possible because of privacy (oh well worth a shot!).  Don’t forget to check out the short and full hi definition extended version which has full zombie action including a TE PAPA MUSEUM CARPARK ATTENDANT IN A BOOTH getting a surprise attack by zombies!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNH-3daSJoc
