Since we completed THE JUJU GUM CONSPIRACY we've been slowly collecting contact information for people in the film industry. We have lists of film distributers, sales agents, media etc. and the original plan was to send them all a screener and a nice e-mail, and wait to see if anyone bit. Let's face it, in the industry we are little fish and without some great representation or well known actors it can be really hard to get interest. When we joined Steemit we quickly began to see the power of independent distribution. We put all the the lists aside and began brewing other plans.
We didn't make this film in a traditional way and it seemed silly to try to go the traditional route for distribution. We are releasing the film here on Steemit on Monday January 8th (if you haven't heard us screaming this from the rooftops for the last few weeks) and realized with this EXCLUSIVE RELEASE perhaps we could kill two birds with one stone. Instead of going begging we could release it here on our own terms and also try to get some industry people curious.
This week we sent out a mass email with our trailer and an invitation to come and watch what could potentially be the future of the film industry! And we threw in a little Steemit explanation for those who most likely know nothing about crypto.

We made an attempt to describe Steemit in a simple way.... not easy, and connect it to content creation:
VIP INVITATION to the decentralized FILM PREMIERE of THE JUJU GUM CONSPIRACY
With the emerging interest in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, independent film makers José and Julia are forging a new path for film releases. Peer to peer distribution is a new way for content creators to present their work while retaining full ownership. Creators then have the opportunity to be compensated based on appreciation in a digital gift economy.
Starting January 8th 2018 THE JUJU GUM CONSPIRACY will be released as a 14 episode series and launched on the platform Steemit.com
One episode will be posted per day (8PM EST) at this address: https://steemit.com/@vachemorte
Exactly one month after the release, on February 8th, the links will be set to private so anyone is able to view the film for free during this 30 day period.
You are cordially invited to join us in viewing the film and partaking in this innovative, first of it's kind WORLD PREMIERE!
Inquiries about THE JUJU GUM CONSPIRACY can be sent as a reply to this email.
Welcome to the future,
VacheMorte Productions Team
We of course included a trailer/press kit and details of the film but this is the gist of it. I feel like a lot of people are still ignoring the crypto world even with Bitcoin skyrocketing, but what if some of them are interested? We also sent the press release to film and culture media agencies, so we may even get some press out of it!
Making this imperfect little monster was such a great experience but it was a ton of work. Can you see how tired I am in the image above, my arms could barely hold the rig anymore and 
It was composed of a million little ideas, words, images, sounds and a billion little pieces of our soul and we hope you will join us on
Each small block you see here is composed of hundreds of even smaller blocks, what a puzzle this was!
