On September 9th, not only will The Nocturnal Third be screening publicly for the first time EVER at the slickest theater in Huntsville, Alabama, but the movie will also be available on the main page of our website, http://www.thenocturnalthird.com, to watch in HD for absolutely free.
The stream will be left up for three days after the premiere, for anyone to enjoy at their computer, and possibly even on their mobile device. In addition, the film will be available to purchase on DVD for $10.00, thanks to Amazon.com's CreateSpace on-demand publishing service.
The DVD will be loaded with extra features, including filmmaker commentary, a cryptic Stafford Stoneworks "safety video", and a 30-minute "making-of" documentary: Do What You Can With What You Have: Making The Nocturnal Third.
This scheme, in fact, is why the film has been sitting on my hard drive, perfectly complete, for about two months now. We wanted to make sure the film was as openly available as possible before we released one frame.
Now, the motivation behind this plan is selfish for numerous reasons. Clearly, we're hoping this will buy us a measure of publicity that we can leverage as the film continues to be available on DVD and gets screened at venues and film festivals throughout the fall, winter, and spring.
I will be honest, however. My personal reason for making the film so widely available is to give my extended family a chance to check out our new film. Most of my family actually lives in Germany, which is where my parents immigrated from when I was three. Hopefully some of my awesome cousins, uncles, aunts, and grandparents will be able to grab a laptop or giant-screened PC to enjoy an evening at der virtuellen Kino.
Alright, guys. Thanks so much for reading, and please comment here, on Facebook, on Twitter, or e-mail us at wondermillfilms@yahoo.com if you have any questions whatsoever!
See you on the 9th!
