****A NOTE FROM THE PRODUCER OF THE UPCOMING FILM The Gospel****

True Story....

" As Filmmakers, we at Rainforest Films believe that there should be a breadth of films aimed at African-American audiences that represent the true diversity reflected in our community. When I first pitched a movie to Hollywood about Black people who are intelligent and articulate Christians - the BIG question from Studio Execs was "Who's the audience for this type of film?!". I was told that Black people only like comedy, cursing, and violence. Just look at the films aimed at this audience that make money! I was told that the church audience is just a SMALL niche within the black community. I was told that a film like this would never be REALLY successful and it certainly didn't make sense to bring it to the big screen. Well...guess what....over a year later and this film IS coming to the BIG SCREEN and with your support it WILL be successful. Congregations and organizations are mobilizing, advance tickets are being sold, theaters are selling out, emails are being sent and the BUZZ is spreading. I want to thank you for being part of a Movement to show Hollywood how wrong they can be about us. "

" I've been awed and humbled by the response to the film. It's been overwhelming. Entire church congregations all around the country are buying blocks of tickets to see it opening weekend. Thank you for sending emails and talking about what an important film this is. Thank you for getting it into your church announcements. Thank you in advance for helping to defy the odds! Many of you have asked how else you can help with our efforts on this film. The answer is simple: 1) Buy ADVANCE tickets - The best way to show that there is interest and awareness for this film and assist with our efforts to add more screens and make it available in more cities is to purchase tickets in advance! 2) Spread the word - Word of mouth is the most powerful weapon we have. The Mega-marketing budgets of the other films opening on October 7th dwarf that of The Gospel. But one thing this film has is a strong collective of people who are talking, forwarding emails and spreading the word about The Gospel. It's that spirit that will make this film a success! "

My Sincerest Thanks,

Will Packer
Producer - "The Gospel"
