Hello friends!!!


I NEED YOU!!!

Please. please please....wether you have CF or not...


The wheels have started turning. This film is on it's way!

Here is how you can help....

We need to show Hot Docs Film Festival just how HUGE the support for this film is.
We need it to sell out so that they add another screening.
We need to have it be the #1 viewed film on the HotDoc Youtube channel.
We need to have the most people possible join the facebook group. People from all over the world.
Why?

Because then the international distributers who attend the festival will want to see it.
If it has the most views....if the show sells out....if the facebook group is huge...
Then the distributers will know they have an audience in other continents and countries.
Then they will take it and distribute it around the world so that you can see it!
So that the world will see it....and understand Cysitc Fibrosis. And support Organ Donation.

And THAT is what matters. Truly matters.

So please....please join my ONLINE STREET TEAM!!!

All you have to do is post the link to the HotDoc Youtube preview. Or even better is to embed it into your page.

Then give the link to the facebook group.
Ask everyone you know to join.
Add the link to your Facebook, Blogspot, Livejournal, Twitter, Myspace, e-mail list. However you reach people...

Ask friends to do the same. Be a part of something HUGE! Bring this film to your hometown!

To make it even easier....here's something to use if you so wish...


Hello Friends!

and by viewing the trailer.....



You're help can bring the film to your hometown.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!



Or if you have room for a bit longer explanation...especially if you are posting to people who don't know anything about the film yet... You can copy and Paste this version of the explanation...



Spread the word and raise awareness - a true tribute to the power of film and the internet!

Redefining the traditional scope of documentary film in an electronic age, 65_RedRoses leaves viewers with a new appreciation of life and the digital world. This personal and touching journey takes an unflinching look into the lives of Eva Markvoort and her two online friends who are all battling Cystic Fibrosis (CF) - a fatal genetic disease affecting the lungs and digestive system.

Unable to meet in person because of the spread of infections and super bugs, the girls have become each other's lifelines through the Internet, providing unconditional love, support and understanding long after visiting hours are over. Now at a critical turning point in their lives, the film travels the distance the friends cannot go themselves, capturing the compelling and often heartbreaking realities they face, just trying to take each breath.

Get involved by joining the facebook group at

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=60310687919


and by viewing the trailer.....




Your support will help bring this film to a theatre near you!





You guys are the best!! Please encourage friends and friends of friends to do the same!

Also if you are part of any communities online....CF communities, transplant communities....or even anything that you think might be interested in this. Please pass on this post! I'm not a part of any other CF online chat rooms or anything...but I know you guys are super connected! Use your super powers!

I love you all! I could never have made it through all this without you. And without all the warriors who came before and fought their best.

Much love always and forever...

Eva

If you add more tags to the video on YouTube (e.g. cystic fibrosis, lung transplant, documentary, genetics, internet etc) it'll come up on more searches and should get more viewers.

Can I add tags if the clip isn't on my own Youtube channel? The hits have to go to the HotDoc channel for them to count.

Any tips?

Done. And I have good-hearted friends that'll keep things going, I hope.

Have you tried contacting youtube to see if they'll put it on their front page for the day? I know it may seem like a silly idea, but if it goes through, millions of people use youtube daily :)

And consider it done, already starting to post messages :)

So excited for this!!!!!
Done and done. I posted both on my Facebook page and emailed a bunch of folks, but I've consistently gotten the same reply:
Everyone is wondering what and WHY Meg is smoking.
It's been a tough one and I'll be interested in seeing more of her story, but for now I've been telling them that everyone has their own reasons for living and ways of coping, and CF is not an easy disease to live with. I myself wouldn't smoke anything now post tx and definitely couldn't have before without my brain exploding out the back of my skull, but I'm open to other people's lifestyles, whatever that entails. Hell, I was addicted to Oxycodone for 6 months and then Dilauded for 8 and am only now coming off.
We do what we can for our pain, whether physical or mental. It's all we CAN do.

Love you SOOOO much!
Chris

Re: So excited for this!!!!!
exactly. it's so confusing, this disease. it is something that i have only begun to understand. you'll see the film and understand meg's point of view a lot better.
and chris? it doesn't count as addicted if you genuinely needed it. that's something i fought with a lot too.
and it took me a whole year to not really need it or wish i had it.
but when you are BETTER...really and truly better? you won't even think of it. you won't want it at all.

oh darlin! it's sooooo good to see you writing back again! and thanks for the facebook stuff. it all helps!
