I am a luddite and probably am out of my mind most of the time (thank god), and I want to get this into Mr. Shadyac's hands…  I have a great story that I just posted on my profile, so no need to rehash a lot of that.  The highlights are this, I am a 58 year old woman in Hospice and with a need to pass out copies of your DVD to many people in my life.  Would it be possible for you to donate unlimited copies or permission to copy to various charities around.  I would like Hospice to be one of them, then let me know that they have them.  The information is pertinant, please help those that don't have access, to see it. 

Again, thank you for putting my scattered thoughts into a well organized and beautifully presented way.

Lydia obviously has never made a movie and so doesn't know that it costs money to do so.

Bravo to Tom Shadyac for making this film!  Some of us are grownups and understand that you'd like to recoup some of the money that went into making it…..so you can plow it into other projects, like the fantastic "Happy"  (which I just saw)

Hi Friends,

Our director, Tom Shadyac has choosen movie theaters as the means to distribution this film (initially). He believes in the power of seeing a film in a big movie theater with strangers and friends alike… experiecing the images and sound as you only can in a movie theater setting- this was the intention behind the theater experience. It is currently available online if you live in the US/Canada and we are working on International. 

 

Thanks! 
peace, THE I AM TEAM!

I couldn't agree more.  As tragic as it would be for an antiquated distribution strategy to subvert and suppress the potential impact of this film, that seems to be the current trajectory.

By the time conventional (i.e. revenue-maximizing) distribution ends, the essential means to change our society will likely have become well and truly locked down by the authorities (witness the looming ACTA legislation, increasingly totalitarian control of media and internet, etc.). 

Moreover, the great majority of people globally who lack the financial means to gain admittance to a screening or to buy/rent a copy of the movie will never be inspired to action by the film, rendering the whole exercise remarkably futile.

If you push yourself a bit and release the film online for free, you'll reap the greater reward of seeing the claimed intent of this film being realized much more swiftly, dramatically, and effectively.

Good luck in any event, and all the best to you.

Hey Mr. Big Hollywood director! If you're trying to spread a message to change the world, why aren't you giving it away for free? Just wondering….
