How to Get a Screening in Your Town

Hello all,

We’ve been getting lots and lots of requests from folks asking us to send Color Me Obsessed to their town for a screening. For those of you who’d like the movie to play locally, here’s how to get it:

We need theatres like the Northwest Film Forum in Seattle. Look it up. See what they book. If it’s a chain like Landmark, it won’t work. If it books movies only for a week at a time. it won’t work. We need a theatre that books INDIE movies for one or two nights, or a weekend. We need someone in the town to pester the hell out of them, and set it up. This is GRASSROOTS…you will need to do the legwork. This is how Vancouver, Chapel Hill & Atlanta happened. And don’t do it on Facebook. Do research, then send me an email: ColorMeObsessed@gmail.com

Thanks!

Spinner names CMO as one of the “best music docs of all time”

That’s right — all time. And they put us in a list that includes the likes of Gimme Shelter, The Last Waltz, The Devil and Daniel Johnston, Anvil! The Story of Anvil, and Dig!. Pretty heady company. Here’s what they said about us:

Making a film about a band while refusing to include any interviews, stock footage, music or images that feature any members of the group might sound like documentary suicide, but for director and Replacements obsessive Gorman Bechard, it was a truly inspired experiment. In choosing to focus on everyone surrounding the Replacements, from fellow musicians and scenesters to critics and fans, and exploring their thoughts and feelings about the band, Bechard hasn’t just made a good film about the rockers, he’s created the ultimate testament to music nerd fandom and just how important the right band can be to the people who love them.
