Contacting the Filmmaker
After the second attempt to reach filmmaker Debbie Lum she contacted us on Saturday. Basically, the information gathered is that in past screenings of the film the audience was primarily women and Asians. She suggested we focus primarily on grabbing the attention of women for our audience and she thought our idea of reaching out to the speed dating crowd is great. She told us about the film's companion website that has webisodes and such we could market as well. PBS will be advertising for the film on their website too, so she suggested we try and contact them for help in marketing. Last but not least, Debbie sent promo cards to Jennifer at the festival that we can pick up.

Unfortunately, local PBS will likely be worthless. Better to try Daytona or Tampa, but remember, they're screening the film later, so they might not be inclined to help you show the film earlier. Pitch it as a way to expose the film to a limited audience, which they can broaden later. Like a sneak peek screening. Speed dating and singles groups should be key. RG
