Are filmmakers supposed to claim the OpenIndie user account (the 3rd link) separately from the filmmaker signup?

Posted project update #7It's time to say thank you!
Post CommentHello everyone,
My wife, Katie, has just sent out a number of mass emails to all of you who donated to OpenIndie phase one. She has kindly offered to help Arin and I fulfill the rewards for phase one as we are both incredibly busy getting the site ready for launch on March 1st.If you think you should have received an email today and you didn't, it may be that your email address slipped through the net or bounced for some unforeseen reason. If that's the case we're really sorry, please email: katie AT openindie DOT com with your name and the reward you claimed. She will then endeavour to put things right.
Thank you once again for your donations and support. Development is going extremely well and we're super excited about the designs that are in the works.

OPEN INDIE BETA SITE
Great Stuff, Kieran. Looking forward to the finished site. Just a quick question. In setting up a screening the site then emails all those who have requested to attend with an email. My experience is that even with motivated viewers they need to be reminded a few times. For example, say I set up a screening a month away and an email goes out today. Will that be the only email they get? Is it possible for the filmmaker to send additional emails to those who have requested the screening with say additional details. Maybe one of the cast will attend. Maybe there will be doorprizes. Maybe we'll give out free popcorn to those who also bring two guests. In other words - some rudimentary marketing where the filmmaker can add some comments to maybe one email a week to all who have requested the screening as it gets closer gets closer?
Also is it possible to let others who live in the target area know about the screening who may not have requested it. As the site gets larger, it seems that a viewer may have checked out one out of maybe a few hundred films and it caught his attention, but if he knew that a similar film was screening in his area this week, he might be interested in knowing about the screening too. That way we as filmmakers are also helping other filmmakers on the site as well find their audience as well. Sort of like what it says on Amazon "People who bought the book you just bought also bought this book (list)"
Maybe that's for Openindie 2.0 - but just throwing it out as an idea.
