"An American Carol" Update

By Eric Odom
#dontgo Movement

I just got off the phone with the PR representative for An American Carol and they are VERY excited about this final two week stretch of marketing for the movie which will open on October 3rd. They see our network as a vital realm for marketing the movie, and they will be getting us some great insider goodies in return for our help.

Those of us who were in Vegas for CLC this past weekend got a chance to meet with the star of the film, Kevin Farley, and I spent a great deal of time with his "handlers" discussing new media strategy and ways they can harness the internet for grassroots and grasstops mobilization. I think they are on the right track, but they're WAYYYYY behind.

It is vital that we help promote this film, because if it does well in
the theaters on opening weekend, I'm told we'll start seeing more conservatives films in the near future. So I'm writing this in an attempt to recruit your help.

The following is a list of ways to help promote the film and be
involved in the online organization.

1) The most obvious... blog about the movie
http://americancarol.com/

2) Join the new Facebook group

3) Join the American Caroler Action Network

I have about 40 or so hats (the same hat that Kevin Farley wears in the movie) and the good folks with the marketing firm are working on getting me some signed movie posters.

We will also be hosting a conference call/live podcast with Kevin
Farley himself on the line to take questions.

Stay tuned for more details...
