Case History:

"Super 8"

Weirton, West Virginia "put on the map" after serving as setting for J.J. Adams' sci-fi film

Who would have thought a dusty, rural West Virginia steel town would garner national limelight in a Hollywood sci-fi movie?                    Certainly, no one in Weirton, West Virginia!              

 

Yet, that's exactly what happened when an advanced "scouting team" spied the unique charm of this "stuck in the 70's" rural town. 

                                                                                                                                      Click on the link ( below  ) to read the heartwarming story of how Weirton, West Virginia ( -population 22,124 ) went from backwoods obscurity to national acclaim after "Super 8's" 2011 release. Could your town become the next "Cinderella" story?

"Cinderella  Story"

There are thousands of small towns across America similar to Weirton, West Virginia. Friendly, welcoming places that are flashbacks to what America "used  to be". Unfortunately, such places are becoming increasingly rare to find. 

 

Maybe that's why such towns are so sought after by film makers. If you feel your town embodies these "God & Country" American values contact me. I may use your town as the setting for my next movie!                               

Parlaying "movie notoriety" into      commerce...

Could your town do the same thing?

"Super 8" film crew sets up a scene in Weirton, W.V.  Over the course of the movie shoot the entire town became involved. 

 

The movie brought town residents together -unifying them and boosting their "Home Town" pride.

While no one can predict the "box-office" appeal of a movie before it's   

release, people definitely  seem to be attracted to "movie locations".

 

In fact, entire books have been written on the subject ( i.e: "On  Location: Cities of the World In Film" by Claudia Hellman & Claudine Weber-Hof, and "Vacation on Location Midwest: Explore the Sites where your Favorite Movies were Filmed" by Joey Green for example ). 

 

Some cities have capitalized upon their "movie notoriety" with city plaques, street designations, parks and guided tours ( -showcasing  their town's film locations ), thereby enhancing their local economies.

 

Having a movie shot in your city can open lots of new doors...

Sponsorships & Ad Placements

Promote Your Business & Town to the World!

Show your support for this LEBANON-BASED production by sponsoring it. Or purchase a "movie placement" within it. Great PR for your company!

THE BIGGEST ADVERTISING

"BANG-FOR-YOUR-BUCK"

 

Promote your business and town to local and national movie audiences for years to come! 

 

Everytime people watch the movie they'll see your Sponsorship in the credits. Everytime they watch the movie they'll see your "Placement" embedded within the movie.

 

Unlike print, radio and TV ads you pay for "over-and-over again"  ( -to renew ), movie Sponsorships and "Placements" are a one-time cost! They live for the "distribution life" ( -think years! ) of the film. That amounts to GREAT advertising "Bang for Your Buck!" 

Smart Advertising starts here...

 

AN EFFECTIVE ADVERTISING STRATEGY?

 

Are "Product Placements" effective?

 

Consider the quote (-on the left ) from a national advertising industry study... 

Making the LOCAL connection...

CONNECT with LOCAL CUSTOMERS like never before! Our movie Spo- nserhips and "Placements" NOT ONLY promote your Business and Town -they let local people know you SUPPORT THEIR COMMUNITY!   

WHY?  Because the majority

( -about 2/3rds ) of your movie Sponsorship and "Placement" dollars are "plowed right back               Connect with "HOME TOWN" folks!

into the community" ( -paying local people to play parts in our movie and paying local merchants for goods and services we need to make our movie ). Keeping it LOCAL is just GOOD PUBLIC RELATIONS! Best of

all, Sponsorships and "Placements" are a ONE-TIME cost  ( -with no

"Ad Renewals" necessary! ). That's SMART ADVERTISING!

Sponsorship vs "Placement"

What's the difference?

Q: WHAT'S A SPONSORSHIP?

 

Helping pay the production costs of a movie in ex-change for having your company's name listed as a film Sponsor in  the opening or ending credits. 

 

 

 

Q: WHAT'S A "PRODUCT-PLACEMENT"?

 

Having your Company's product, service, signage ( or ) logo seen

or mentioned "on-screen" during a movie. The type and amount of

"on-screen" time determine the cost. Our movie "placements" cost

a tiny fraction of what Hollywood charges ( -about the same as what you'd pay for a couple months of local newspaper, radio or TV ads ).

while they last!

"EXCLUSIVE SPONSORSHIP:  Where a SINGLE Company finances the entire production cost of the film. They are the movie's ONLY Sponsor! The movie opens with a sponsorship "tagline" that goes something like:

 

"This movie sponsored by Precision Widgets -the world's Finest Widgets"

 

The company's listed once again during the movie's ending credits.

 

* "EXCLUSIVE SPONSORSHIP" PERKS include: The Sponsoring Company's choice of any THREE single "Placements" ( or ) ONE "Package Placement" from those listed above ( -that combines more than one type of place-ment within a package ) embedded within the movie in addition to  the aforementioned sponsorship credit mentions. The production of a short ( added ) "featurette" on the Company mentioning their involvement in the film ( -included in the DVD's extra features ).

 

The estimated production cost of this movie is $135,000.00 ( -including production company set up, legal, tax and insurance costs, film permits, paying local people to play parts in the movie, paying local merchants for goods and services needed in the movie and paying myself a small    ( $12.00 per hour x 30-hour per week salary. *NOTE: $12.00 an hour is the same as what "extras" will earn -so I won't be getting wealthy! ) til the movie's completed. Obviously, only a profitable, industry-leading company could afford to be an "Exclusive" Sponsor!

 

*-That's why I'm ALSO  offering "Split" Sponsorships ( -see below ):

"SPLIT" SPONSORSHIP:  Where SEVERAL Companies split the cost of the movie's production. Companies contributing more  receive "top-billing" 

( -and first-up  credit-roll placement with larger font titling  ) during the film's opening and closing credits.    

 

This brings the cost of sponsorship down making it easier to afford.

If I can't locate a ( single"Exclusive" Sponsor, I may be able to find  several "Split" Sponsors and "Placement" Advertisers who put me

over the top of this $135,000.00 movie production goal. Once this

budget goal is reached I can begin casting and production!
