Update #18: Sync or Swim -- more popular than Justin Bieber!
Greeting fabulous backers!
Another great BIG thank you to all of you for making our DVD release possible! We really couldn't have done it without you! Here's hoping you're all enjoying the movie and sporting your caps (please send photos of the latter)!
Some great news from here! Sync or Swim is finally available on iTunes! We had a really great week of iTunes rentals and, as of last night, we were the 48th most popular documentary on iTunes! We even beat out the Justin Bieber movie! Not too shabby for this independent film! If you liked the film, and we hope you did, please help us get even MORE iTunes rentals! Here's the link to send to your friends, post on Facebook, or tweet tweet tweet.

We're still trying to climb our way to the top of the charts! So when your friends ask you about the best way to celebrate National Girls and Women in Sports Day on February 1st, or if they want to know how to psych themselves up for the upcoming Olympic Games, we're pretty sure you'll have a great idea for them...rent Sync or Swim, on iTunes.
Swimmingly,
Cheryl
