I wholeheartedly agree with what you have said. We have done nothing with traditional press for YELLOWBRICKROAD, playing Slamdance this year (and the premiere is sold out by the way!). We have a horror/thriller, that is our audience and we have gotten overwhelming response from the horror blogs and pubs. They have been priceless for us. The film was shot in New Hampshire, pubs in NH covered us. Two of our actors and some crew are from Atlanta, Atlanta Film Fest interviewed them for their well read blog. Forget Variety and THR, find your audience outlets and get them to speak about you. Forget the posters and postcards. Find your peeps online and let them talk for you. Now, it is too late to start this for Sun/Slamdance. But get on it for SxSW if you're in. Great post Chris and Chris. I wholeheartedly agree with what you have said.
