Our first (and ultra low budget feature) Gettin' Grown will be in stores like Target, Wal-Mart and Blockbusters on Tuesday April 22,2008! It can also be bought online at some 15 sites, including Amazon.com and bn.com (Barnes and Noble). It is being released by Warner Bros. Home Video.
Check it out! If we can do this with $10,000 and sweat equity, think what we will produce with more money and professional crew and actors. www.gettingrown.com
Just goes to show you that with perserverance, a wonderful creative team, and some luck, your great indie movie can get some fine distribution. Keep on shootin' but have a business maven on your team. Best of luck to all you out there making great indies!
From the Team of Gettin' Grown: Aaron, Fran & Tony |

| On 11/29/07 we held a "by-invitation-only" professionally staged reading of Fruit of the Tree. The audience of 150 invitees gave the actors a long standing ovation. During talkback they told the producers how moved they were. People are still emailing me their thoughts and feelings about the event. In the near future we will post video footage of the reading here. |
