Want The Gits Movie in Your Town! It's now or never!
Body: We’re planning event nights in several cities including NYC, St. Louis, and Austin. The Drafthouse wants to add The Gits to their Music Monday screenings in July. We're working on Starz theater in Denver and weekly bookings in SF, Seattle, Louisville, and Portland, with extended possibilities in Olympia. Los Angeles may be event only, at Hollywood Forever, Arclight and/or the New Beverly.
Do you want The Gits Movie in your town? Can you help us set something up? Can you help us promote the screening in your city? Venues outside the United States, please get in touch now!
Do you have a website? Are you a writer for a blog or newspaper or zine or mag? Do you DJ on a station or podcast? Please spread the word that The Gits Movie will be out this summer.
Remember this is not a *Hollywood* release. This is a work of love by passionate first timers Kerri O'Kane and Jessica Bender. Kathleen Hanna and Joan Jett are in it for Mia.
The Gits Movie will screen this summer. If all goes as planned you'll be able to buy the DVD in July, at the theater and online.
If you can help please contact Jessica:

Well, I've learned something. When you start talking about a movie people immediately think $HOLLYWOOD$
So I thought I would let you know that The Gits Movie is a six year labor of love by the producer Jessica Bender and the director Kerri O'Kane. When I say producer do you picture JB chomping a cigar behind a big desk?
Well it ain't like that. Jessica and Kerri are first timers. They did this movie while holding down regular jobs. They spent their own money. They worked their asses off because they wanted to do justice to Mia and The Gits, to be sure they would be remembered. They won't make money from it either, fifty percent goes to the surviving Gits.
I'm on board as an associate producer now. I won't make a penny, I don't have any percentage. The idea is to help The Gits.
Well we need your help. We need your help to promote the film. To get a good website going. We need your ideas and when the film is in your area later this year we need your fliers and we need you to tell your friends.
This is not only a chance to turn the world onto Mia Zapata and The Gits, but to make everyone feel the true cost of violence against women in a world where 1/3 women are raped.
