88 Thanks! Since our premier in July 2012 we secured a distribution deal with First Run Features. Based in New York, they are one of the nation’s preeminent distributors of independent and documentary films, so we landed in good hands. They chose to release the film in May of this year to coincide with the run up to this year’s Oklahoma D-Day game in June, as well as the anniversary of D-Day, June 6th. Since the release we have gotten nothing but positive reviews, which feels great! We put a lot of hard work over six years to make this film happen and it is nice to not only hear of people watching it, but also really enjoying it, too. Has the film gotten any reviews? If so, from who/where? Yes! We have gotten reviews from all kinds of places—many blogs, DVD review sites, and from paintball industry insiders. All of them have given the film a thumbs up. The response from casual movie-watchers has also been outstanding—the average score on Amazon is 4.5 stars out of 5 and on iTunes it is 5 stars out of 5. Is the film available on Netflix or any other similar network? First Run Features recently completed a deal with Netflix and it will be available on there some time in the next few months. While we are excited to see the film on Netflix, it doesn’t help us much for recouping the costs for making the film. Viewers can support us best buy purchasing a DVD, renting, or downloading. What’s next for you and the film? As we have learned throughout the making of this film, filmmaking is multi-step process. The final step of which is marketing and promotion, which is what we are heavily engaged with right now. We made a movie and movies are meant to be seen and we are busy making as many people aware of it as we can. How can players get a copy of the film on DVD? Easy.
