What a great response to the trailer! I've noticed that on YouTube it's climbing the "Top Favourites" ranking fast. So the favour I'd like to ask - but no pressure, mind you, if it's not your thing - is that as many of you as possible go onto YouTube and add the trailer to your "favourites" (you have to register for this but it's easy and doesn't cost a penny). The higher we go up the rankings, the more people will see the trailer, the more will come to watch the movie in cinemas the world over and the happier we all will be, right?? Straightheads is a low-budget British movie which is coming into the world kicking and screaming as hard as it can, but without anything like the colossal marketing budget of a studio PR machine, so every little push from you, my friends, will help tremendously...
Will do!!! This is a great idea!

That's the least we can do :-) also, if you have more than one account on youtube, use all of them. And if you only have one, register for some more. *devil smile* I have innocent thoughts like that ;-p

Done!!!! I would be more than happy to help Straightheads! This is absolutely brilliant!

Man i wish you could edit on this thing.........i meant "Wants".......not "whats" in the above!! lol
Posted by: toni | 02/06/2007 at 11:06 PM
Done and done, Dan! I mean that. As soon as the trailer appeared at YouTube I immediately gave it the highest rating possible there (which is a 5 for those of you not in the know) and added it to my "Favourites" as well. In my listings its got the No. 1 Spot!
Straightheads deserves all the recognition it can get and if I can help to do that then it's an absolute pleasure to do so. :-)

Toni brought up the fact that I should post the URL here since I mentioned the forum. anewspace.20.forumer.com This is an X-files and GA, DD forum.

Hi Dan,
well help more cinemas have the movie, okay, I will save it in my favourites and send an e-mail to friends do it too! :)
Thanks to share to us your idea.
Posted by: Raquel Danason | 02/07/2007 at 12:38 AM
i think you should keep it up for more than 1 weeks.
And will it be seen in the previous at the theaters here in the US???????
That would be a good thing too.

boy do I know how that is, you've got my support.

Hi Dan, I favourited the movie on Youtube for ya. :D Your film looks great but disturbing - lots of blood and so sad. Terrific to see Gillian starring in a film.
Also Dan, or anyone else reading this, if u would to see Gillian in the long awaited X-Files 2 movie please check out Create the Future http://community.livejournal.com/createthefuture/ We can put a Straightblog link on our new multi-lingual site which will be ready late February ;)
Posted by: Talie | 02/07/2007 at 04:33 AM
Done Dan!!!!
hope it 'll help spread the word about the movie..
if i can add just that the best way for us to help you promote the movie before it's release is to talk about it to everybody we know!!!! That's what i did, and many people now are waiting here in France for a release! And they're not at all Gillian fans as i am!
So if i can make a call today , it would be : Spread the world people!! Show the trailer, and make this awesome movie work!!!!!!
*****good luck Dan and the crew********

done...
plus, telling the people on the german "x-files-mania" fanpage about it, and they all are pretty excited. i haven't read a single negative response anymwhere. :)
Posted by: Michael | 02/07/2007 at 11:02 AM
Dan,
i just had an idea ...have you posted the trailer on dailymotion ... after youtube , it's one of the most visited website with videos available and many haghlights ..that could be nice to have there too ;
Posted by: asma ^^ | 02/07/2007 at 11:11 AM
No problem Dan :)
We did it and we're so pleased to help you and the movie.
Take care
