The film follows real-life criminal Curtis Snow as he robs drug dealers and attempts to provide for his child. The most controversial element of our film is that some of the footage is real while other scenes are staged. After our films are in the can, we as filmmakers are met with the daunting task of marketing our work. Our eyes are met with a towering cascade of media everyday, and, for any filmmaker, the job of rising above this onslaught requires you to market your project with strategic deployment.
Finding your niche and projecting your story to its fullest potential requires a fresh approach to guerrilla marketing. You must exhibit a strong capacity for creative resourcefulness. No explanation was given. It was raw — a small segment of the film that followed Curtis as he ambushed rivals and, at the end, took a bullet. Most people who watched this sliver of the film thought it was a hood snuff tape. After dropping the DVDs off at a flea market in Atlanta, we let it simmer and marinate.
Copies of the DVD were created, multiplied, sold as bootlegs and after a few months, we started hearing urban legends surrounding the footage. This was the start of our guerrilla marketing campaign. Spreading our message, it was a war in the form of guerrilla communication as we infiltrated deep within rival hoods.
While our name bubbled locally, we began the film festival circuit. With each event, we made a concerted effort to promote the film through the local populace by pitching to radio stations, local news and other tastemakers in their respective areas. Each write-up, every review, every person made aware of the film was viewed as a mini-success. A few distributors took notice and began to initiate conversation. Investigating a string of home invasions, they were attempting to link them to our video footage.
Carefully zooming in on a frame of the movie, they enhanced an image of a license plate which was then traced back to my director. He was questioned about the film. Who is our audience? This is a question that I analyzed carefully, and in doing so, marketed the film accordingly.
Our goal was to hit the independent film scene, the people who know and love arthouse pictures. Rappers often paint a glamorous view of drug-dealing and violence; our film peels back that facade to reveal the true reality.
I wanted to hit the music industry — more specifically, the hip-hop audience. Keeping our message authentic, I felt that it was important to project from the perspective of those entrenched in this neglected community. This is their story and we must keep it hood at all costs. This is what the news should sound like. The biggest stories of our time, told by the best journalists in the world.
