Yeah, he's quite right. Honestly, I'm not so sure I really understand how to get vapers' attention anymore! This is the one to rally around, of that there's no doubt in my mind.
We have to just keep doing what we can, try anything we can think of.

I know we aren't the target market for this film, but we are the ones that can do some heavy promoting.

My shirts arrived in the mail today. Plan on wearing one to the beach this weekend. Hoping to get a lot of questions!

I shared. Took a bit to get it on my other social media, but got it done. My first computer was an Apple II, but I still am not good with it all. Anyway, hope helps.
Thanks for reminding me to go on YT and like the video. Subscribe, like and share.

I'm looking forward to when the whole world gets to see this movie ... how about you, Mr. Zeller? ... bet you can't wait to see this movie :smokie:
I agree! It is about SO MUCH MORE than vaping! It exposes the corruption and back room, "good ol' boy" activity that is actually running this world, now. vaping and the DD are just the "vehicle" they chose to expose it, at least for now. More to come but a different subject. Let's stay on point and get THIS film the exposure it deserves. ;)

The rumored teary reaction from some of our own congressmen & legislatures who viewed it at the D.C. screening is a pretty good indication that it IS going to wake A LOT of people up. (And scare a bunch more!)

Regardless of your political feelings, I really do think this needs to be brought to the attention of "the scariest man in America", Donald Trump. ;)

Hi all,

I spoke with Aaron Biebert yesterday and asked him if he'd shoot a little video about A Billion Lives, explaining a few things that have come up on ECF and elsewhere... and, being the gent he is, he obliged with this:



Please sign up for Billion Lives updates here: www.abillionlives.com

(((((((((Oliver)))))))))) :wub: This is wonderful!!! Thanks hun!!! I was going to ask if I could put a link here the thread I started hoping it would get more folks to visit it, but I see Von already put the link up (Von :wub: ) I was away for a day, just got home. Will check out the other thread next, but I really hope many from this one visited the other thread. The first post is long, but has a lot of suggestions for what we as vapers can do to help promote this film!!! Hope we'll all pitch in! I'm still waiting on a template from Aaron, that he was going to have his team make, but I figured it would take a lil time for that.

One outcome, for example, is where we see more users of nicotine than we have currently, but far less death and disease, because nicotine is being used via much safer delivery mechanism (i.e. NOT smoking, which is the killer).
Excellently put!

I think that will happen in the near future. Lots of actors now vaping.
I hope so, but with the deeming, I don't think so. When vaping seemed kewl, all of em vaped quite publicly, now they don't that I know of. With the bad press and now deeming, I think vaping has become taboo with most of them

Awesome. I want to add to encourage YT reviewers to promote it to the help thread that Von linked to if you don't mind, it's a great idea. I think Phil Busardo has, dunno bout others.

I truly believe this movie could tip the scales ... yo, Mitch Zeller, you think you're getting some flak now? ... wait until this movie goes Viral :cool:
Jup!!! But we as vapers need to do all we can to help promote it. Or like Aaron said..... it won't have any affect unless tons of folks see it!!

I'm not the originator of the idea and I think it may have been suggested in the other abillionlives thread, but I agree it's a great idea. Commenting (tastefully, not to detract from the reviewers video) in the YT thread may be a good idea too.

If every vaper would call their local theatre and ask for the manager, and then ask THAT person "When are you going to be showing A Billion Lives?" (not if, when) it would do much more imho, than sharing this on facebook. They don't know there is demand, if a bunch of people just want to see it and they don't know that.

@LouisLeBeau - check out the edit to my OP :)
Don't know how all this works......I know it's finished, but can movie theaters just contact him and ask for a copy? Does he currently have it done in a way that he can provide it to theaters or is that what he needs help with?

Deba..... I think it is more of an "awareness" tactic (geeze I hate using that term) Chances are NO U.S. theatre has even heard of this film and if enough people call in and ask about it, the hope is that they will in turn start inquiring themselves, creating even more "buzz" in the very place the "buzz" needs to be, the motion picture distributors. (Brilliany idea BTW!!! That's what I'm talkin' about when I say ALL of us are smarter than any ONE of us. Similar to what lessifer said, ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING "WE" (all of us) CAN THINK OF!. Sorry about the soap box! VAPERS UNITE!!!

:cool: Von Vape :cool:
