| | Hey DriverXers,
I wanted to let you know that the film Henry and I made right before DriverX, The House That Jack Built, is opening in select cities and on Cable VOD and digital platforms this Friday, November 6th. 20 years after the death of its screenwriter, the late, great Joe Vasquez (Hangin' With The Homeboys), the film will finally be available for a wide audience to experience.
If you're curious to know what DriverX might be like, check out The House That Jack Built. Henry won 3 Best Director awards for this film (out of 8 awards total), and I'm incredibly proud of his work.
And you can help us too. The more successful Jack is, the better for DriverX. 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:
- Pre-Order, 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. 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 screenings. The film will screen in these cities in the following weeks: Minneapolis, The Bronx, Phoenix, Cleveland, Atlanta, Orlando, Seattle, and Daytona Beach. Please let your friends know about these screenings. For more information about where and when the film will be playing, please visit our website: JACK SCREENING INFO >
- Spread the word about our VOD release. Beginning Nov. 6th, the film will be available On Demand via the following cable providers: Armstrong, Atlantic, AT&T, Bend Broadband, Brighthouse, Cablevision, Comcast, Cox, Dish Network, DirectTV, Mediacom, Optimim, Suddenlink, and Time Warner. That covers most of the country. 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 an indie 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.

| | Jack features a terrific cast, and two of those actors are in DriverX--Desmin Borges (from You're The Worst, who plays Leonard's rider friend Tom in DriverX) and Melissa Fumero (from Brooklyn Nine Nine, who plays Leonard's first rider, the ill-tempered Jennifer). Both are amazing in DriverX and in The House That Jack Built.
And here's what critics have said:
"Simply brilliant...not to be missed. Full of great moments and performances. 'The House that Jack Built' is a clear indication that Barrial doesn't simply have a knack for humanizing complicated stories, but for telling them beautifully." - Quiet Earth
"Takes us on a majestic journey of crime, family drama, and redemption. Not since ‘Real Women Have Curves’ has there been such a thorough investigation into the complexities of Hispanic-American culture." - Awards Circuit
"Bring(s) to mind the great classic movie about family, The ‘Godfather.’ Barrial’s direction effectively captures both the tender moments, and the scenes of explosive violence." - We Are Movie Geeks
"Using Bronx locations and a strong cast of Caribbean-Latino actors, director Henry Barrial constructs a convincing portrait of a neighborhood and its Nuyorican culture, staying true to the scale and sensibility that filmmaker Joseph B. Vasquez envisioned for the movie." - The Hollywood Reporter |

Thank you in advance for supporting our last film. Can't wait to share with you our latest film!
Best, Mark Stolaroff Producer, The House That Jack Built, DriverX |
