Another great premiere!


We want to thank everyone who attended and helped out with our Irish premiere last week. Thanks for coming along and sticking around to chat about the film afterwards!

We had lots of great press coverage throughout the week including several radio interviews on Q102, Drive 105 and the  BBC arts show, presented by one of Derrys 'Undertones' Mickey Bradley. If you didn't catch any of them last week you can listen to the BBC show on iplayer here. Our interview starts at 20 mins 30 secs into the program.

So what now? Distribution


As you may have gathered if you follow our news, the film is.. finished! Yes!! Ehm... now what?

Well, we are currently working on distribution options. Now, if you don't know how film distribution works -and no reason why you'd want to- you may be surprised to learn it is incredibly difficult to get a film out there for people to see.

This is why being realistic -and regardless of what happens later on-, the plan is to start releasing it ourselves, starting with an online streaming platform. That online streaming platform is Distrify. You can find the player either up here on our new shiny Website BrothersDayFilm.com or in our old Facebook page . You'll be able to see the film right there when it's available, after we give it a proper premiere (read on..). And by the way you can't see the film yet but you can re-watch the trailer in preparation, now updated to better match the look of the final film!

Yes, there may be a DVD to follow too, depends, we really want to do it, but there are always costs involved, so it depends, at this stage.

In regards to screening it, so far we've only held private screenings for youth workers. The social component of the film is something we are very proud of, and it's exciting to see organisations such as The Factory Youth Zone or Fathers Against Violence backing us up and agreeing they can use the film as a tool in their daily work.

BUT we'll be finally organising a local premiere early next year. If you are around Manchester then, it'd be great to see you there. Dates to come, as we are looking at options at the moment.

More to follow. In the mean time, the best way of stay in the loop and not miss updates in the ever-changing Facebook feed is to subscribe via the Distrify player ("Coming soon" arrow). Here's the link again.

Private youth workers screening


We held a great private screening yesterday attended by youth workers. It's great to have some interest from the organisations who work with the reality of some of the issues that are the backdrop of Brothers' day. Thanks very much to everyone who came along, we are very pleased with the positive response and feedback. Thanks to Andy Low and SSR too, for hosting the evening.

More detailed information on what's happening with the film coming up very soon. Watch this space, Facebook or Twitter!
