We still have some seats left that we can give out to those who would like to attend the premiere. The movie will also be available on Amazon nation wide starting Friday, so those who are not in New York or LA can also watch it. With these indie movies, the opening weekend makes a huge difference in its success or failure, so we are praying for a good turn out this upcoming weekend.” Click the image to the right for more information.
