Netflix subscribers! Support my peeps!


I just want to do my part to support one of my best friends from way back. Martin Kelley has really been working to make his film making dream come true... and now that he's available on NexFlix, you can give him a little hand. I won't cost you much to make a big impact for him. Just 1 of your monthly rental slots... and like he says, turn it around and drop it back in your mail box the next day. All we need is numbers baby! Thanks for all the help!


here's Martin's message:

Atlanta Filmmakers Film 'Behind the Nine' will be available at NETFLIX on November 1st

http://www.netflix.com/MovieDisplay?trkid=73&movieid=70039662

I want to ask that anyone with Netflix please put this in your cue and rent it. Even if you turn it around in 1 day to get another film quickly, the numbers would be greatly appreciated by us. We hope the response helps our distributor leverage to a national distribution deal with outlets such as Blockbuster and Hollywood Video which would be a wider release.

This film was made with virtually zero budget but with a lot of help from the underground Atlanta Filmmaking community.

Please pass this message along to your friends who also have netflix and ask that they put it in their cue as well. Grassroots campaigns for indie films only work when the word is spread. I will be sending this information to everyone I know with email. Please do the same. If we show we can move rentals and sales for this film then other indie filmmakers will get a chance down the road. The beauty of Netflix is that it only costs you time (perhaps missing one rental in your month) since it is a subscription service but the fact that 'Behind the Nine' comes along with your copy of 'Batman Begins' sends a message to the retailers that you want to see independent films.

Thanks for your time in reading this email and please put 'Behind the Nine' in your Netflix Cue today!

Sincerely,

Martin Kelley

Director, 'Behind the Nine'

P.S. It must be noted that this film is UNRATED and does contain Adult language as well as Adult content. It does not contain nudity.
