NEW TEASER TRAILER - Los Angeles Premiere THIS THURSDAY! (MUST READ)
almost 8 years ago – Sun, Apr 08, 2018 at 10:56:10 PM

Hey Backers!

Behold, OUR NEW TEASER:

We're coming to Los Angeles this Thursday April 12th, 8PM at the iconic Fox Village Theatre. Get your tickets and come!! Go to EpicMovieTickets.com and pre-buy them for just $12 or $10 with 10 or more. This will be the last time in the foreseeable future we will have most of our cast and crew in attendance. It's also one of the last times we will display Captain Moroni's armor (crafted by the renown FBFX Studio) before it's locked away. 

Since we launched our (by demand) worldwide release of our concept short, Edmonton Canada has become the first location in the world to surpass 150 pre-sold tickets. They are currently at 222 with a premiere date pending for June 11th. Mesa Arizona is in second place with 138 pre-sold tickets. We'll likely be out there as soon as next month. 

Moving forward, I will not always be able to attend premieres and screenings around the world. Our focus will be on what you supported us to do-- to raise the funds for the full feature. The amazing news is, our concept short has in large part already fulfilled its purpose. As I write this, we have pending partnerships in the works with major Hollywood producers and a clear path laid out for making our full epic. We could be in production as soon as this year or beginning of next! All because of this little 14-minute epic you made possible-- and wait till you see the Behind The Scenes (included at all screenings/premieres)!

As always, our gratitude abounds and for those who haven't seen the concept short, DON'T MISS IT this week in Los Angeles. It's an amazing experience and the Fox Village Theatre is an amazing place to see it! We have shown our concept film in 5 sold-out (or nearly sold out) theaters now and each time we do there are several in the theater who have traveled hundreds (sometimes thousands) of miles to be there. Come to Los Angeles next week. It's worth it! Read our 9.4-Star reviews on IMDB or see what people are saying:

 
If you are not in the Los Angeles area but know people who are. Please share this groundbreaking movement and let them be part of it. Forward this email, share on social media, etc. 

Remaining Kickstarter Rewards Delivery: Film Score mp3 will likely come in the next month for those who pledged in a respective reward category. HD Download of the film will be delayed for a few months until our theatrical run is completed, likely after July this year. Streaming Premiere of the film will also take place around the same time the HD Download is available. 

Until very soon,

PS - SEE YOU IN LOS ANGELES!

Defying "Impossible" (MUST READ)
about 8 years ago – Fri, Mar 23, 2018 at 02:54:14 PM

Hi!

Have you ever wanted something more than anything else in the world?

I'm up early this morning. Been praying to know how to expand the reach of this movement so more people experience the power of this amazing story. The Great Captain Moroni and his legendary Title of Liberty. Could there be anything more EPIC? No film in Hollywood (not even Braveheart) has ever told such a mighty story. I'm going to open my heart to you. I received many notes, calls, and texts after our first premiere last week, expressing deep emotional feelings, provoked by the event. If you missed our audience reaction video, please watch it here: 

Now, of course, you can't please everyone, but I sincerely don't know one person who was not deeply moved by our concept film and the miracles captured in our behind the scenes shown at the premieres. It is crystal clear to me, the only reason our little 14-minute epic has not become a worldwide phenomenon is because people don't know about it yet. Studios spend tens of millions marketing their films across the world to make sure people know about them. We just don't have those kinds of funds-- yet. This means Reign of Judges: Title of Liberty is the very essence of a grassroots movement. We've sold nearly 1500 tickets around the world with almost no marketing. Impressive, but still not even a drop in the pan to how far this film will eventually go.

Our producer and dear friend, Leandro "Leo" Marini (who isn't Mormon), was speaking to some prominent Hollywood contacts recently (also not Mormon), and they expressed their instinct that our film (the full feature) would be even bigger than we had imagined. Some of these contacts were instrumental in the creation of the breakout film, 300, which grossed $465M at the box office.

From the beginning, our movement has defied the "impossible". It has not been easy, but with determination toward a higher cause, we've overcome the naysayers again and again. And what is that higher cause? 

That which we live and die for-- the universal and eternal Spirit of FREEDOM! 

Our story is worth it. The mighty Book of Mormon is worth it.

But, there is yet another "impossible" facing us now.

We have a BIG premiere in Los Angeles California on April 12th with over 1300 seats. Our Kickstarter had 1,601 total backers, to give perspective on the challenge of selling that many tickets. It is absolutely NOT a question of our film being worth it or people being interested in attending. Not in the slightest. This is a question of marketing and not having $50,000-$100,000 to drop on billboards and social media. People described our Utah Premieres as "unforgettable". Our Los Angeles Premiere will be even more unforgettable. It will take place at the iconic Fox Village Theater. This venue is costing us more than any other (by far) and we have to pay for it before the seats are filled. It's a Herculean leap of faith. But it's worth it. Like having FBFX make Moroni's Armor. Some things are just worth it.

If we had hundreds of thousands of dolors it would be easy to reach the world. But, has anything truly worth it ever been easy?? I'm convinced, Divine Providence has placed us just where we are so we must rely on each other to accomplish this monumental endeavor.

If we work together, 1300 seats will be filled faster than we could imagine, perhaps even forcing a second showing. Think of anyone you know in the Los Angeles area. Mine your networks, your churches, your clubs. Forward this email and tell them about this inspiring film. Tell them how exciting this Los Angeles premiere will be and how this film is already selling in 5 countries and 23 U.S. States. Share our audience reaction video. Grab tickets at EpicMovieTickets.com ($12 each or 10 for 10).

I know we will, together, defy the "impossible" again. And we'll be the better for it.

God bless you and yours in your efforts as part of this rising power. The first Book of Mormon war epic.

Sincerely,
Darin Southam

IMPORTANT INFO about Reign of Judges Premiere! First Showing Sold Out, Second Showing Filling Up!
about 8 years ago – Mon, Mar 12, 2018 at 12:22:56 AM

Hey All,

I wanted to reach out personally and thank you for backing Reign of Judges: Title of Liberty. This week, we finished mastering the film in one of the best sound studios in Hollywood. The visual effects are tremendous and our music score is something quite magical. I have to tell you, from the bottom of my heart and as sincerely as I am able to convey, this film is truly something special. One of our producers (who has worked on over 250 Hollywood films) has expressed over and over to me during this process that he cannot believe the final product we have put together. He has never seen, in several decades of filmmaking, a project come together like this one has.

From the beginning, the odds were against us, but I'm thrilled to say, you're going to love this movie! I'm SO excited to show it to you on the silver screen with Dolby 5.1 sound-- I can hardly wait.

If you missed our 4-minute launch video please have a look-- VERY exciting details on a first ever worldwide theatrical release of a concept short film-- Reign of Judges: Title of Liberty!

Our first two premieres are this week, March 15th in Lehi UT. We have two showings, one at 7PM, which is sold out (500 seat theater), and one at 9PM which still has about 300 of 500 seats left. We'll be doing a marketing blast this week to sell out our second showing and I wanted to get this to you so you could buy up tickets before that happens or tell your friends so they can.

Please go to http://epicmovietickets.com and reserve as many seats as you would like. If you've already purchased tickets and would like to buy more, it's usually easiest to just sign up again to purchase more tickets, rather than trying to change your existing order.

We can't wait to meet you on Thursday!

Sincerely,
Darin Southam

PS- everyone who has seen the movie wants to watch it again and again and again. We think this is a good sign :). We hope you will encourage friends and loved ones to purchase tickets for a premiere in their area so we can continue our worldwide release of this film.

PS - If you missed it, WE RELEASED OUR NEW POSTER and it is EPIC. Check out the response so far and add a comment if you're feeling inspired. We will have posters available at the premieres and believe us, you'll want one!
