I think certain screenings will sell out, depending on the city/market. I tried to order 10 tickets at the Philly screening just to test out how many I could buy at once. It let me, so there are at least 10 seats available at that screening, as of 3/19.

Is anyone seeing any local, i.e., non-Ledge, promotion for any of these IYD screenings? I haven't seen a single mention or reference to it anywhere in the local NY media. In fact, I have only heard Howard Stern make a brief reference to the documentary on his radio show. Apparently he received a DVD screener! Anyway, he said that it was really good, but didn't know if Stevie's new album had come out yet. . He said that she sounded great and in particular he liked a song called "I'm the One." He tried to play the song, but couldn't find it in the Sirius system.

Given the complete lack of direct promotion, I suspect Dave/Stevie/Reprise's assumption was that the screenings will be promoted via word-of-mouth. Or via online communities like this. As such, don't you think they could have had someone in their organizations reach out to us on the Ledge the way Ken Caillait reached out when he was writing his book? It's like, why are we doing the heavy lifting for them when they refuse to acknowledge our existence (and it's not a well kept secret that their "people" really do read the Ledge. Hi Karen ).

I haven't seen anything yet here in San Diego, but I anticipate maybe seeing an ad in next thursdays paper in the entertainment section, placed by Landmark Cinema. You never know though, knowing how Stevie's marketing is run.

Good to know Howard mentioned and liked it though.

Wow, that would be great if one showed up on Ebay. They aren't supposed to sell them, but people do.

Indie house movies don't really get a lot of press. People who see these types of movies will usually seek out the information themselves through the theater web sites or cafe flyers. In Your Dreams is a very niche-y documentary, like most art films, that really only appeals to a small audience; in this case, Stevie's hardcore fans. Of course, there have been examples of independent films generating buzz and crossing over into the mainstream, but In Your Dreams is not going to be that film, given the mixed reviews it has received. Given how poorly In Your Dreams has sold, we're lucky to be getting a documentary at all!

As for reaching out to fans, Stevie's immediate team has always been a very insular and protective group, so they are not going to reach out to us directly - ever. The only people who will be reaching out to fans are PR people that they contract with to promote new releases. For example, for the Rumours reissue, their PR guy contacted me, Peter (Nickslive), and a few other fans with sites to hold giveaway contests. Or in the case of me posting pictures of Stevie's house on my web site, they will have a liaison like John Kinney to ask me to remove them. That's as close as it's going to get.

I never thought Ken Caillat was that close to Stevie.

Anyone going to the EPIC premiere screening with Q&A this Easter Sunday evening in LA? I will be there with my girlfriend Kim, who also loves Stevie. We bought tickets to the 7 and 730 showings so we can attend both Q&A's. Would love to meet some Ledgies I haven't met yet.

Oh, I totally get that this is a low-budget, limited release situation. However, it costs them (i.e., Dave's people, Stevie's people, etc.) ZERO to reach out to fans via the Ledge or your site. Again, the decidedly hasty assumption on their part is that fan sites and communities will be responsible for spreading the word so that they don't have to do the heavy lifting themselves. There isn't even a thanks or any token of appreciation for sites like yours (e.g., free tickets?) that promote the movie (that I am aware of). As the old saying goes, if a tree falls in the forest...

Sure, a nod of approval is always nice. I guess it's how you look at it. I'm actually approached for the contest giveaways, including the free theater tickets. I don't see that as being taken advantage of, but their acknowledgment that I am a link to fans. To me, that's a compliment. Plus, they issue free copies of releases in exchange, so they do reciprocate. I think most fans who run longtime fansites do it for the love of the artist and his/her music, so they're happy to promote them without expectation of credit, at least I am.

As for the promotion of the IYD doc, I'm not sure if they've relied on fans to spread the word. They built a good film site, attended the film fest circuit, pitched theaters, and used Sound City as a cross-promotional vehicle. People who like Stevie Nicks and indie flicks will find the information through these outlets. Yes, the fans made it viral, but that's how social media campaigns gain traction today.
