This is a truly independent film. This is where we need you NOW.

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.

ADVOCATE!

  1. GET THE WORD OUT - As first time filmmakers, festival submissions are essentially very expensive lottery tickets. This film needs your voice!

  2. 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!

  3. 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!

  4. 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!

  5. 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!
