graffiti dvd finally in the uk, by qualityoflife on Jan 8, 2008 1:40:47 GMT 1, hey all,

Our graffiti film QUALITY OF LIFE is finally available in the UK.

If you haven't seen the film yet, here's the trailer:

www.qualityoflife-themovie.com/

This is a fictional film but co-written and co-starring a retired graffiti writer. Vapors Magazine, Zephyr (NYC Legend), Duncan Cumming and many others have praised the film's authenticity.

The bad news is that because most stores are bloated with excess xmas stock, they have not ordered a ton. We need to get the word out to graffiti writers and people who are into the subculture that we need their support.

If we can do a strong first week, then they will re-order and put it out there wider.

Can you do a shout-out about this and let people know. It's like opening weekend for a film -- we have to blow it up or we'll die with a whimper.

These are the stores/sites that have bought some:

HMV
Entertainment UK
Play.com
Lovefilm
Amazon UK

People should definitely buy a copy (or three!) from the store of their choice -- if the local shop doesn't have it, please make a written suggestion to the management.

And if people do like the movie, they should post a review on Amazon UK. Right now, they have a bunch of old farts who have written reviews. Basically Amazon has a cadre of reviewers who get advance copies of all the DVDs -- and these people will watch anything and have no graffiti background (and some are plain anti-graffiti and anti-youth).

So here's what we're hoping people do:

1) Buy a DVD at the local shop (listed above) or online.
2) If the DVD is not available there, ask for it by name (in a written comment).
3) Go to Amazon UK and write a kickass review (if they like the movie)

Here's the link on Amazon:

Any suggestions on how we can spread the word -- we really need the word of mouth support.

peace,
Brant (Producer)
