And we’re live!
The film has only been online for exactly two weeks now, with a website that doesn’t look like complete garbage. (Sorry web designers out there if it’s an eyesore). On November 20th, we got some early attention from an article by Christina Ng, from ABC news, that spoke about the site, and gave it some great exposure. (http://abcn.ws/UD5y1h)
Two days later, on Thanksgiving, the film was added as a staff pick on Vimeo, and the Vimeo community has been uh-mazing in spreading the word, with almost 100,000 views so far.
That Sunday, Benjaman did an AMA on Reddit (links above in Menu), and I made the Whitehouse.gov petition active. Doing the AMA gave us a volcanic, immediate response, and within 24 hours the petition got 6,000 signatures.
On another interesting note, two people on reddit believed they had encountered Benjaman working at a Waffle House in Georgia prior to the accident. I’m trying desperately to get into further contact with these people, and no developments have gone any further. But I can’t wait to see where that goes.
I’ll keep you posted as to what else happens, be it with the petition, or with any upcoming clues.
Sorry for my poor enfglish, I’m french and I must admit I forget quite a lot how english has to be written properly but nervemind, I hope you’ll understand me anyway.
I just saw your brilliant, moving and wonderful film. I watched it many times, to be sure my emotions wasn’t only due to the braveness of Benjaman or the sadness of his story. I can’t describe how much it touched me and how much I was impressed and sad at the same time. I signed the petition and send it to my amercian friends, I can’t do anything more but wish you luck and braveness for the future.
Sincerely, from France.
