Generation Why @ Pop Culture Fair in Edmonton on October 18

Hey everyone,
If you're going to be in Edmonton on Sunday October 18th be sure to stop by the Pop Culture Fair to pay a visit to John, Mike, and Cody at their artist's table while they promote Generation Why.

They'll be playing clips from the film, handing out business cards, getting email addresses, talking to people about the film, trying to get the word out, and I'm sure they would welcome a familiar face at some point during the day.

Or if you have friends who are going to be in Edmonton, give them a shout and tell them to stop by. Or if you know people who were already going, make sure they stop by our table.

The event's website is: http://www.popculturefair.com


p.s. A huge thank you to Marie-Claire O'Donoghue for donating to the Generation Why Post-Production and Distribution fund! MC is a true patron of the arts and will be receiving a free DVD as soon as they are available.

Generation WHY Contributed to OpenIndie

The producers of Generation Why are very excited to contribute to Arin Crumley and Kieran Masterson’s hugely innovative filmmaker distribution project called OpenIndie. This Kickstarter campaign they’ve started is an effort to raise enough funds to start a website that will attempt to bring filmmakers, and the audiences they have built for themselves, together to form a collaborative network of cinemaphiles to share in movies that are not going to be exhibited in a traditional fashion.

Basically the site would create an opportunity for members of the online community to host screenings of any film on the server that they are excited about, invite others in the online community to come share it with them, and collect donations at the screening to give to the filmmakers.

This is a perfect model for Generation Why, as a large part of our struggle has been enabling audiences to see the film, and connecting to new potential fans.

Come join the revolution by contributing to OpenIndie.
