Subject: Rate "DriverX"!

Dear Friend,

Thank you so much for attending our "DriverX" screening in Maryland, and for signing up on our mailing list! After working on the film for over three years, it's been a thrill for us to show it to audiences around the country. 

I know it's been awhile since you signed up, but I finally had some time over the holiday to input everyone into our email system. You will start getting regular emails from us as things heat up on the distribution front. If you ever want to unsubscribe, just click the Unsubscribe link at the bottom of our emails.

I just mentioned that things are starting to stir distribution-wise. We're showing the film to several companies and we may be getting close to signing a deal soon, which is huge for a little film like ours. In the midst of this, I wanted to ask for your help. 

One of the most important metrics that distributors look for in an indie film is how strong their social media following is and how well rated they are on IMDB. I'd like to ask you to help us tell these companies how much our audiences like us. Or another way to look at it--you've just taken an Uber or Lyft; now you get a chance to rate your driver!

There are two big ways you can help us impress distributors, and they are EASY:

  1. FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA. You can find us on TwitterInstagram, and Facebook and our handle on all platforms is @DriverXMovie . We're going to be ramping up our social media in the coming months and we'd love to engage with you on these platforms. 
  2. RATE US ON IMDB.  IMDB has become the de facto way people decide to see a movie. They read the description, perhaps watch a trailer, and then look it up on IMDB to see if it has a good rating. A high rating is crucial for a film like ours, and a high number of ratings means that opinion is broad-based. It takes about 2 seconds to rate a film on IMDB. Just click the button below and then click the star that says "Rate This" (to the right of the Title). If you're not logged into IMDB, it will ask you to log in first, and if you don't already have an IMDB account, it will ask you to create one, which takes about 5 seconds and is free. Of course, I want you to be honest with your rating, but if you're going to go to all the trouble to rate the film, please consider rating it highly, (just sayin'...)!


Now, if you really want to help us out, and you miss your college creative writing days, you might want to review the film on IMDB. This takes about 2-5 minutes, depending on how much and how quickly you write. To review the film, log into IMDB, rate it first (let's get as many ratings as we can), then click the button below and give it your best Roger Ebert or Pauline Kael. All of this, trust me, is vitally important for us, and of course, MOST APPRECIATED!


WHERE ARE WE NEXT?

Our next festival stop is Cape Cod for the Woods Hole Film Festival. "DriverX" plays:
