Getting the Word Out

Often people asked me, "How can I help 'Epic Heroes'?" Of course, the first thing I say is: Please pledge! Pledges and sponsors keep our show going, after all. But what if someone has already pledged and pledged often?

This was the case with uber-fan Rebecca Fitzgerald. So when she asked what more she could do, I suggested that she contact every single newspaper in Washington State with news about the show and our amazing October 16 premiere. And guess what? She said yes!

Armed with the press release that I wrote (because, remember, that's basically my day job -- writing marketing copy), Rebecca has already contact every single Kitsap paper and she's diving into the rest of Washington tomorrow!

Rebecca's pledging over and over again has shown her dedication to the show, but now she's in the trenches with us, trying so hard to spread the word to everyone and anyone who will listen.

Because after all... what we're doing here is epic ;)

Oct 16 Premiere UPGRADE!

Did you think the big screen premiere of the second half of Season 1 would be just another three-hour movie event? No way! We're pulling out all the stops for our amazing cast and crew! What exactly do I mean? Let's make a list ;) (You all know how I love lists!)

1. A red carpet! That's right. Walk the red carpet and have your photo taken in front of the official poster. Better be prepared for anything on the carpet though... there will be live mini interviews that will be included in the Season 1 bonus DVD.

2. Ladies and gentlemen of the press have been invited to attend! With more lead time than the first premiere, this time our friends at the media outlets around Washington have been contacted and invited to watch with us... and bring their camera-touting friends ;)

3. An autograph table with photos of the cast will be available for the cast to sign and for fans to purchase to support the show -- Fun!

4. All attendees will have the choice of being filmed for a special segment in the music video trailer for Season 2 -- the same night as the premiere!

So... what are you waiting for, friends?! Get your ticket today :)

Get My Ticket!

P.S. Please remember, actors and crew, if you used your complimentary ticket to attend the first premiere, you will need to purchase your ticket for the October 16 event!

Season 1: Episodes 7 through 12 Reminder

We've had a few requests lately so I figured I better remind everyone of the current schedule:

Season 1, Episodes 7 through 12 will start posting in September. All episodes will post in September, actually, a few days apart.

Season 2 episodes, on the other hand, will post as they are shot. There will not be a delay because episodes will be paid for BEFORE they are shot.

The music video will shoot September 30 and post within five days of the shoot.

The glossy reward photos for the KickStarter pledgers will shoot on September 30, as well, and be sent out the very next day.

Whew! Busy, busy, busy!
