| Dear Phoenix Subscribers,
I'm thrilled to announce that our little film, The House That Jack Built, is finally getting a national release! The film opens in select cities and on VOD on November 6th. 20 years after the death of its screenwriter, the late, great Joe Vasquez, the film will finally be available for a wide audience to experience.
One of the reasons we're getting this great opportunity is because you folks in Phoenix gave the film such a great response at the festival. Our three wins--Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay--certainly helped convince our distributor to take a chance with the film.
And now we need your support again. To insure that the film reaches as wide an audience as possible, we're asking you to help us spread the word. Here's what you can do:
- Rate and Review the film on iTunes. The film comes out on Nov. 6th, but it's available for pre-order on iTunes now. The number of pre-orders we get determines how well the film will be positioned on the platform come Nov. 6th. The more ratings and reviews we get also helps that placement, and helps convince audiences to give the film a chance. Since most of you have seen the film, we don't expect you to pre-order it, but rating and reviewing it only takes a minute, and that will help us immensely! RATE ON ITUNES >
- Watch our new trailer. iTunes just released our new trailer exclusively on their Movie Trailers page. The more views we get, the better our eventual placement on the platform will be! WATCH JACK TRAILER >
- Spread the word about our Phoenix screening. That's right, the film will screen again in Phoenix for one night only at the FilmBar, Nov. 8th at 4:50pm. Please let your friends know about the screening, and hey, it's great the second time around, so why not join them! I've seen it many times and I pick up new things each time I see it.

- Spread the word about our VOD release. Beginning Nov. 6th, the film will be available On Demand on most cable services, including DirectTV, AT&T, Cox, Comcast and many others. Please let your friends know about the film and if you're a social media person, please feel free to post the links of our iTunes page or website. For a little film like ours, with very little marketing budget, this is just how it works. This is how we're going to get people to see the film.
Again, we can't thank you enough, Phoenix. Our film really found a home in Arizona and we hope that with your help, more folks there will be able to enjoy it. It's been a long road and a lot of work, and it's exciting for us to finally have this opportunity to share the fruits of our labor, and the labors of such a great artist as Joe Vasquez, with the world.
Best, Mark Stolaroff Producer, The House That Jack Built
