Momentum is building!
After our wildly successful North American premiere, we've got seven big updates to share with you:
1)
Please watch and share the new video highlights from the North American premiere on Facebook.
Twitter too.
2) We released 100+ pictures also.
Check them out here.
3) Première française!
We are very excited to announce that we'll have our French Premiere at one of the most famous theaters in all of Europe,
Le Grand Rex!
This will be a private event for media and VIPs, but please email

4) African Premiere at Jozi Film Festival!
Two stars in
A Billion Lives, Dr. Delon Human (Former President of the World Medical Association) & Dr. Derek Yach (Former Executive Director at the World Health Organization), grew up in South Africa. We are proud to announce that we'll have our African Premiere in their home country as part of the Jozi Film Festival in Johannesburg.
The press mentions have already begun (please keep showing love to our media friends).
5) Canadian Premiere!
The HotDocs Cinema hosts one of the most important documentary film festivals in the world. It is an honor to announce that we'll have our Canadian premiere there in Toronto on October 21st.
This will also be a private event for media and VIPs, but please email
James@AttentionEra.com if you'd like tickets.
6) Official Selection at the National Harm Reduction Film Festival in San Diego
We are excited to bring Tobacco Harm Reduction to the broader Harm Reduction community. I agree 100% with them that harm reduction means respect, dignity and compassion. For tickets to the festival and conference, please
visit their website.
Wish us luck!
7) Global Theater Launch
Thanks for your patience. We are getting close!
Because of the successful North American Premiere (and your support), we now have a distributor interested in the movie if we can gain more traction with the public and mainstream media.
In order to do that, we still need to secure more sponsored support for our Hollywood Premiere festivities. We need to host a red carpet reception, premiere, and after-party that will bring in the celebrities, media, and publicity.
It's vital to do it properly because our Hollywood Premiere will be the launch of our global theater release (which leads to Netflix and other releases). We need this topic taken seriously.
We're also planning a red carpet screening + panel discussion in New York City for international media.
In the meantime, we still need
people to help organize events in their city and help
get people to sign up. When we get our global launch figured out, things will move quickly. Right now we need to know what cities are interested in the movie.
We need to get organized now.
We're almost there!
