this weekend the Boston Comic Con took place and we took a trip downtown with a stack of mini posters and flyers to promote the recently launched site. The weather sucked, but we got rid of a fair amount of stuff. Egan was on his game as he was getting in front of large groups, cornering them so they'd take the flyers because they want him to move/get the fuck out of the way. I was doing the friendly approach mentioning a locally produced action movie, take a look if you're interested. There were plenty snubs headed my way. The worst of these took place when a cool little ten year old walked by with his dad and completely ignored me. Punk.
Tim and Debruyn were getting in on the action too. We all sucked at it. I had a perfect target and Tim jumped in front of me to do a sweet hand off to some people. What an asshole. Overall it was a lot of fun people watching and handing out what we could. Afterwards we headed to Newbury Comics and dumped off some flyers there and hung em up. Then up to Little Stevies to do a little of the same. At this point we stopped for some dogs at Spikes and I took off (important things going down, seeing as I was pumped to go see Fast and Furious!)
Egan met up with Kyle and the others later that night. I wasn't there for the night cap but more flyering took place, and apparently outside of Coolidge Corner they got a good response as there was a midnight screening of the Lost Boys. Not bad for our first weekend of trying to promote. It'll be better when we have the release date for our premiere screening too. Should have info this week,
In the meantime I have been contacting local press, and a ton of festivals around the country. So hopefully things start looking up from here on out.
