B4MD: Hear It, See It, Host It, Own It
Hello all —
Steve from Bside here again… we’re on the cusp of a huge week for Before the Music Dies… with thousands of people preparing to attend grassroots B4MD screenings across the US and Canada, and XM Radio poised to air the audio version of B4MD as the first-ever radio broadcast premiere of a full length film. And now… we’re announcing the first opportunity to own B4MD on DVD, for a limited time only. As we move forward together and spread the message of B4MD… I wanted to give you a quick rundown of the different ways we’re allowing you to experience this fantastic film… Hear it… See it… Host it… and now, Own it.
Hear It
On Sunday night November 12, the audio version of B4MD will premiere in its entirety - followed by an exclusive half-hour interview hosted by XM’s Bob Edwards with the B4MD filmmakers, Andrew Shapter and Joel Rasmussen. The premiere and interview special will air at 9 p.m. ET on XM Public Radio (XM 133).
At the conclusion of the weeklong grassroots screenings event, XM will provide a 24-hour loop of the B4MD audio broadcast and Bob Edwards interview on the XM LIVE channel (XM 200) beginning at 8 a.m. ET on November 19. Please go to http://www.beforethemusicdies.com/blog/upcoming-screenings.
See It
Music lovers across the US and Canada will have the opportunity to see B4MD at grassroots screenings hosted by a network of screening partners. Whether it’s 25 people in a private home, 250 people in a cool music venue, or 2500 in a historic university chapel…people will be joining together to see a great film and celebrate the importance of music in their lives. To find more details about upcoming screenings near you, please go to http://www.beforethemusicdies.com/blog/upcoming-screenings. Join the party.
Host It
One of the great things about music is its capacity to bring people together in a meaningful way. We’ve made new friends all over North America through our Host a Screening program…where any music lover can host a killer screening event. The demand has been incredible, and we are thrilled to announce that we will be extending the program through the end of 2006. This is your chance to take your participation in the B4MD movement to the next level…by bringing the film to your area.
