Updates - Good News All Around
Hope this finds everyone well. Wanted to let everyone know what we have been up to lately. The editing is going great, we just got footage in the mail from FIFA. We have 15 minutes of highlights of Jay during the World Cup and Confederations Cup to choose from and pick the best stuff. We are working hard and getting very close to having a final product. We also received 1000 movie posters today (weighing 240 pounds) at my office. This past weekend we had Jay sign over 60 jerseys and 40 pairs of cleats. Everything is going better than we could have expected.
Also please have a look at our website which has been updated - jaydemeritstory.com
We will have all the latest news there. We should have an announcement soon on which theaters we will be in beginning in early November. We found out over the weekend that ArcLight Cinemas picked up the film for all of it's Los Angeles theaters. We also just got covered in Variety and on IndieWire. We are going to be in as many places as possible and are doing everything we can to get to more! If you want the film to be played in your city or town please contact theaters directly. We are encouraging people to request the film be played at their local theater. The theater can visit our website for info on the film, media articles, a trailer, and information about the kickstarter campaign. They (or you) can contact us directly at screenings@jaydemeritstory.com or contact@jaydemeritstory.com. We want this film to reach as many people as possible.
We will also be in the business section of the NY Post this Sunday so have a look if you can. Thanks as always, we can't wait to get everyone their rewards and to have the film finally released. RISE & SHINE!
