PALO ALTO Release!
Happy holidays!
Thanks for following the progress of 'Palo Alto.' Sorry we have been out of touch and our online updates have been limited to non-existent. We have been very busy over the last year planning for the release of the film. Going into this project we thought getting the movie made was going to be the hardest part, but it turns out distribution is an even bigger challenge.
The website will be updated over the next week with all of our plans, but in the meantime we wanted to give you a brief breakdown. 'Palo Alto, CA' (the title was changed for distribution) will be receiving worldwide distribution through Image Entertainment domestically and G-Machine, an international sales agent, for territories outside the U.S. Needless to say, we are very excited to make this announcement.
Through our partnership with Image the 'Palo Alto, CA' DVD will be hitting shelves on February 17, 2009. At first it will be primarily available for rent through Netflix and Blockbuster, but over the proceeding months major retailers will be adding the title to their shelves. For now, it can be pre-ordered on Amazon here. If you are feeling generous this holiday season, we would greatly appreciate it if you pre-ordered the DVD as it will have a meaningful impact on our sales to places like Best Buy.
In addition our home video release we will be screening the film on college campuses. Please send us a message if you would like us to visit your school. We are in talks with several schools around the country. The website will be updated with screening dates so you can attend showing in your area.
As you know this is a small movie so any help you can provide in promotion would mean a lot to us. The possibilities are endless, but a few things that would be particularly helpful would be sending messages about the film to your friends on Facebook (and telling them to join our group), getting friends to attend screenings that are happening near you and helping us to set up showings at your college. Also, saving the film to your Netflix account and giving us positive comments on Netflix, Amazon and IMDB would go a long way.

We've just activated a Facebook Fan page for the film that will be another good resource for updates on the film. Become a fan to make sure you don't miss any information on important events, or screenings of the film in your area.
We are very grateful for your interest in the movie. As young filmmakers, it is absolutely surreal to be announcing we have closed a distribution deal… the film's success moving forward is very much in your hands. We hope you enjoy this labor of love!
Best wishes for the New Year,

I can't remember how I found out about your movie, but it looks like the sort of film I'll enjoy and I've been reading your blog to find out about its progress for a while now.
Great news about the distribution deal - I'm looking forward to checking the movie out when it hits UK shelves!
(BTW, I also prefer the original poster design, but if the other one's more commercial, all the better!)
Hey there,
I have no idea how I found out about your film either - maybe through a netflix recommendation? Anyway, I really enjoyed it, especially since it brought back some memories (I went to Stanford in the '90s). Congrats on a great job!
