With everyone's permission (Especially Anthony's), I would run a competition.
Some of you may have seen my (poorly organised) website below to get a list of fans to get the film well recieved in Australia (The list can be shown to cinemas and such...it is possible for it to be a factor in whether it is released in a certain local cinema). For me to gather as many fans as I can, I feel I need to advertise both sites offline. I think that advertising the site in Australia will make sure it gets good ratings here and is recieved well when it gets here. I think it should be recieved well because I am 100% sure this will be well made for werewolf fans, and will be recieved by non werewolf fans as well. But since it isn't a hollywood blockbuster, and is more independently made, it needs exposure (like a good band with talent which isnt well known else where), ie this Pack site obviously and the internet. You all know the story.
My idea is to print of A4 posters linking to this website, Anthony's Freeborn trailer site with the info and stuff, and linking to my site so I can get people's names on the list. Hopefully the posters alone could get it some exposure here. I was thinking if everybody in Australia on this site printed some off and posted them up in local cinemas, video stores, even music stores and various other shops, it would raise the chances just that little bit

So perhaps if this is a good idea, we could run a poster competition. It could be done in other countries too. Whoever wants to distribute the posters will have to print it out themselves of course, the only downside, but Im sure we can get at least a few done.
The poster would have to include:
- Attractive graphics, with Anthony's permission (NO copyrighted images without permission!)
- Links to these sites and petition sites like mine (Depending what country the poster is in, for Australia mine would be linked I guess)
- A teaser sentence. Perhaps look at other movie posters for layout ideas and such.
- Of course the movies name

Anyway there are FAR more advanced graphics designers on this board than me, they don't have to be overly professional, the simpler they are the better, simple is more elegant than clutter.
If this goes ahead, I suggest some more experienced eyes judge this competition rather than me.

Thanks for reading. It may be a long shot, but it may aid the film when it does get released in Australia. Let me know what you think.
Please give me modifications to the competition and ideas if this goes ahead!! All entries would be linked on this thread rather than being sent to an email, and people wanting to print them can save them to their computer.
