We need to build an audience
GOAL: FILM FESTIVALS
Film festivals are critical in bringing this film to a screen near you. Fact is, it may be the ONLY way anyone ever gets to see it. Distribution plans are a long way off for now. FACT: this project can die at any given moment.
ADVOCATE!
GET THE WORD OUT - As first time filmmakers, festival submissions are essentially very expensive lottery tickets. This film needs your voice!
CONTACT LOCAL FILM SOCIETIES - Tell them this Jason Molina documentary exists. Someone there is bound to be a Jason Molina fan, right? Filmmakers and cinephiles simply need to know this film exists!
USE YOUR NETWORK - Don’t stop talking about how excited you are to see this film. Every advocate for You Fuckers Figure It Out: A Jason Molina Story is SUPER important!
KEEP MAKING FESTIVAL SUGGESTIONS - There are 1000s of them. Each has a unique personality. If “You Fuckers Figure It Out” is not a match, there is no sense in submitting to them. YOU know your local film festival way better than we do. Help find a HOME!
ARE YOU CONNECTED TO A COLLEGE? - Suggest it to a professor, library, or organization.
GOAL: MEDIA COVERAGE
Media coverage has been really really good. We are so grateful! Coverage = VISIBILITY to fans, festivals, & distributors. The only answer is more, More, MORE!

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT DONATED!
The BIG fundraiser is going to take a while to get under way. And the target will be enormous if major funding does not come in to play.
For now, the focus is on getting to film festivals where the film gets officially selected. As of July 17th, those cities are:
ATLANTA, GEORGIA on August 8th -
PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND on August ? -
BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA on August ? -
T-Shirts, stickers, and the like will come. We HOPE. Funds are tighter every single day. Donating directly helps us avoid fees from fundraising platforms and it is a GAURANTEE that every penny goes toward all of the costs we are still paying down and many more to come.
YOUR GENEROSITY AT ANY LEVEL IS A HUGE HELP!
MORE ONLINE EVENTS ARE IN THE WORKS, TOO.
