Get Your Name on the Screen! Support Blue Like Jazz!

So we raised 1.3 million to shoot Blue Like Jazz, and another 1.3 million to promote it. The movie is wrapped, edited, and we are making our final changes. It will be at a theater near you on Friday, April 13th. We couldn't be more excited.

That said, the money we raised to promote the movie can't be used to make the movie better. It's a weird legal thing. But we want to make it a little better. We need things like "looping" which means some more background noise recorded in a studio, people sneezing and whatnot. So we are raising a little more dough.

The movie has been screened in front of thousands of people, and we are getting an 85% (very good) or (excellent) return in terms of feedback. That's huge, great news, especially considering we have yet to color correct the movie or edit the sound. Still, we want it to be better.

We have been running an Associate Producer campaign, allowing people so sign on and contribute to the film in exchange for having their names in the credits. Of course, the name in the credits thing is fun, but the real gem is you will have contributed to a film that we are becoming more and more convinced will change the entertainment landscape in America. At least that's what we are hearing. The number one response we get from people who have screened the film is "FINALLY!" I'll let you figure out what that means. Lets just say it's been a long time coming for a movie that deals directly with faith but isn't kinda goofy.

Here's the latest pitch to help out:

Friday, January 20th, is your last chance to become an Associate Producer for Blue Like Jazz!

More than a year ago, 4500 of you donated to save our movie. Since then, there has been such an overwhelming request from others wanting to be involved. 30 days ago, we decided to open up the ability to become an Associate Producer. 30 days for anyone anywhere to become an Associate Producer for Blue Like Jazz, and get their name in the end title crawl of the movie. That opportunity ends Friday at midnight, as we are sending the final cut off to its final phase of post production.
