Author Topic: Overture Films - exhibitor relations Reid Helford Film Handler Posts: 16 From: Dayton, Washington, USA Registered: Feb 2008 posted 09-13-2008 10:42 PM                        I have been having a heck of a time getting any response from the Overture Films people for one-sheets or any other promotional material for their films that we have scheduled (The Visitor and Traitor). Faxed, phoned, e-mailed....nothing. Has anyone had any success in getting promotional material from them (can't get it direct from Technicolor)? If so, teach me your secret!

Unfortunately they didn't have the rated one-sheets but offered to send stickers I could add to the unrated sheets.  |  IP: Logged Barry Floyd Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1079 From: Lebanon, Tennessee, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 09-17-2008 09:32 AM                        We're playing both Righteous Kill & Traitor now at the theatre and our one sheet posters just showed up. I didn't order them - they just kinda showed up.  |  IP: Logged Reid Helford Film Handler Posts: 16 From: Dayton, Washington, USA Registered: Feb 2008 posted 09-17-2008 09:30 PM                        LOL Well, I hope ours just shows up. I've had to make my own posters and promo material for Traitor and The Visitor. I couldn't wait any longer. )-:  |  IP: Logged Tyler Potts Expert Film Handler Posts: 159 From: Anderson, SC, USA Registered: Sep 2008 posted 09-29-2008 07:44 PM                       I contacted our district promotions manager about having screening for Righteous Kill for Police, EMT, uniforms, etc. He left emails and voicemails, and heard nothing back. This is after receiving a fax from them about special items like signed posters for special promotions...  |  IP: Logged Reid Helford Film Handler Posts: 16 From: Dayton, Washington, USA Registered: Feb 2008 posted 09-30-2008 02:23 PM                        I did eventually recieve a one-sheet for Traitor and The Visitor on the day they opened. Apparently they wait until you actually book the film (which doesn't occur for us until the Monday before the Friday opening) before sending out posters.  |  IP: Logged Justin Hamaker Film God Posts: 2253 From: Lakeport, CA USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 09-30-2008 04:42 PM                        I had received Traitor one-sheets quite a while ago. I don't remember if I ordered them from Technicolor or if it was an auto-ship. And then I was able to order Righteous Kill directly from Technicolor a week or two before the movie opened. Unfortunately both one-sheets were unrated. I called Zach at Overture and he was supposed to send me ratings stickers I could apply to the one-sheets but I never received them.  |  IP: Logged
