Any TIFs In Davenport Iowa?

2009-04-14T18:58:00.000-07:00

You guys, this is so cool. We're going to have a commercial this Thursday during Supernatural!!

The test market is Davenport Iowa. We're just going to see how it goes.

Okay, the big question: does anyone know anyone there who'd record a copy for us? Maybe put it on youtube or send it to me to put it on youtube? Pleaaassseee?

2009-02-21T00:27:00.000-08:00

We did it! We opened up a Ten Inch Hero store HERE!

You can pre-order the DVD for April delivery and also purchase a shirt that's identical to those given to the cast and crew during filming.

Also, thanks for the terrific offers to help with the website. We have someone wonderful helping, and we're good. Once again, I'm humbled by our wonderful fans.

Release Info (and Help Needed!!)

2009-02-18T22:26:00.000-08:00

Ten Inch Hero is Released!

Ten Inch Hero has been released for rentals in the U.S. at Blockbusters.

So you want to buy TIH?

We hear you!! We are CLOSE to announcing a deal for purchasing it via Amazon and other places. (That should make our Canadian TIFs happy, yes?). We'll be taking pre-orders soon.

AND, we'll be selling t-shirts then too. Details soon!

Help Wanted!!

We need to make some updates to the website, and frankly, everyone is too busy with the release.

So if you have mad HTML skills, and are willing to do some work for a free t-shirt and DVD of the film, can you shoot me an email? Thanks!!

Ten Inch Hero at Blockbuster on Feb 17!!!!

2009-01-29T15:08:00.000-08:00

Ten Inch Hero will be available to rent at Blockbusters all over the U.S. on Feb 17. The film will also be available on blockbuster.com.

At this time, no word on which stores will be selling copies as well. This depends on availability over the next few weeks. We are confident there will be copies available for purchase by April, but just can't be sure before then.

So please help an indie film out, and spread the word!!

Ten Inch Hero to be Released in February in USA!

2008-12-06T10:28:00.001-08:00

Great news! Ten Inch Hero will be released in the USA this coming February!

Blockbuster is handling the U.S. release, which means you'll be able to see the trailer playing in your local Blockbuster in the next 3-4 weeks. Of course, it will available online as well.

And David and Mark are working hard to include as much bonus material as they can to the DVD. How cool is that?

Without a doubt, we have the best fans in the world. You helped this come true for us, and we're so thankful for your support! Please come through for us one last time, and promote the hell out of this release!!

About the Ten Inch Hero screening in the UK

2008-07-18T18:22:00.000-07:00

The screening will be at the Odeon Cinema in Kingston Upon Thames (about 30 min by train from Waterloo) on Saturday September 6. They are planning two screenings: at noon and at 3 pm. Plan to arrive early, as they cannot delay the start.

Please buy your tickets ASAP, and remember to bring your friends, your dog, your granny (but, ahem, not your six-year-old niece—for mature audiences only!).

To purchase your tickets, go to the LJ community and follow the instructions.

If you have ANY questions, please email Cassie and Company: tihscreening@googlemail.com.

About the London TIH Screening

2008-06-30T17:05:00.000-07:00

We're getting questions about the September 6th screening of TIH in London. Here's the scoop:

Screenings are very difficult to arrange. It seems simple: get a theater, show the film. But whew, it's not like that. So even though we would dearly love to screen all over, it's just not something we can arrange easily from here in LA.

Enter Cassie and her contingent of crazy TIH fans in the UK. They have taken matters into their own hands (there's a Ten Inch joke in there somewhere, but I'll refrain), and are determined to set up a UK screening. They're tracking down a cinema AND arranging projection, and are spreading the word to make sure there are enough people who will attend to make it work.

And just like Shoeless Joe, if they build it, we will come.

The screening is tentatively set for mid-day on Saturday September 6th. If you plan to attend, please email Cassie and let her know how many to expect: tihscreening@googlemail.com.

If enough people reply, we can make it work!

Cannes Update

2008-06-07T16:45:00.000-07:00

David's just been back from Cannes, and we'd like to give our wonderful friends out there an update on where we are with distribution.

As many of you know, distribution is literally a "one country at a time" deal. It often takes indie films 2 to 3 years to get distribution in any particular country.

As of today, Ten Inch Hero will be distributed and shown in the following countries: Germany (Yay for Kimmy and Dagmar), Switzerland, Austria, Portugal, Belgium (waves hi to the twins!), the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Turkey, Denmark, Luxembourg, and Lichtenstein.

When will be movie be available in these countries? We're not sure. But it's happening, so hang in there.

If your country is not on this list, don't worry...we're working on it! Some countries are just harder to sell than others. But we're making it happen--one country at a time!

Plastic!Priestly's Pilgrammage

2008-05-11T09:27:00.000-07:00

You need to see this!

Long time TIF Trillian traveled with Anteka (of PWT fame) down to San Pedro to see if Beach City Grill was still around.

Here is what they found!

Eyecon Thanks and Busy TIFs

2008-04-12T09:42:00.000-07:00

Eyecon was a terrific time! A huge thanks to Kenny and Voni for all their hard work and professionalism.

Here's a shot of long time TIF Jenn, with two of the more shady characters at the con:

The TIFs have been busy again!

Shellz has made a name tag for Asylum, so the TIFs can find each other:

And check out:

* Renee's Priestly Sketch
* Robin's Stamp

Thanks so much to all of you--we have the BEST fans!!

Yo!

2008-03-08T08:20:00.000-08:00

It's been quiet around the old shop lately, and I do apologize. We don't have any news, but we do have some terrific fans. So I'm gonna share some of their offerings.

But first...we adore Dave Lichens, who appears on the TIH soundtrack. (His song "Blue" plays during the scene in the bar when the girls take their road trip.) Dave has a show coming up in LA on March 21, and I'm hearing he will play "Blue" if he knows there are TIH fans in the audience. So head on over for a good show--and let everyone know you love "Blue" AND TIH! For more info, go to Dave's page

Have you checked out TIF Kimmy's puzzle about TIH? She did a terrific job!

And speaking of terrific jobs, check out Briana's Priestly!

We do like fan art here. Here's a fun drawing by Jaimee:

How cool is this? Apparently, TheLadyScribe felt her friend Beow87 needed to put his kilt to good use around campus. Here's the end result:

Beow87 is a patient man, that's for sure!

Finally, we made another appearance on campus recently. This time, TIF Breezy dressed up as Priestly and used the tampon scene as a monologue for drama class! Check her out!

That's all for now! Thanks to our wonderful friends and fans out there!

EyeCon, Gainesville, and the Podcast Link

2008-01-17T22:01:00.000-08:00

Creative TIFs

2007-12-22T15:04:00.000-08:00

There's no question, we have some creative friends out there. Danie just sent me a snow-Priestly (who is apparently now friends with Bowie! Can't wait for that Bowie/Priestly rendition of Under Pressure).

Then, our Oz TIF Jodie weighed in with her own version of that infamous picture:

And just the other day, TIF Kimmy showed us some of her art. Check out her myspace to see!

And Rosebud sent me some wonderful art as well! Hard to pick, but I think this one is my fave!

Plastic!Priestly On the Line

2007-12-10T08:17:00.000-08:00
