New "STAND UP" Testimonials and Video

Last winter we test screened Stand Up to multiple audiences across multiple formats. Most of those audiences were wrestlers...

Overall it was an awesome experience. We got to engage with our audience and see all the genuine laughs, tears, and determination they walked out of the rooms with. This is why we make movies in the first place at Reel Nation Media- to inspire these emotions.

Below is a list on some reactions from the screenings. Most participants remained to stay anonymous.

• "This film has built up inspiration inside of me. I will push myself to be the best I can be and give 110% like Cevon said” -Unknown

• "Captures the ups and downs of a wrestling season, but most importantly shows the character development of student athletes" -Jason Woodall

• "This film not only captured the essence of the sport of wrestling, but it also showed the struggles of an athlete and all things required of a wrestler as well. It had ups and downs captured perfectly!" -Mahlon Chase

• "Very Immersive. I felt like I was sitting mat-side" -Anthony Mancuso

• "This documentary shows that hard work does pay off, and your real friends will push you to become better. The grind doesn’t stop even when the season is over. It taught me playing in a team sport is like having a huge family.” -"Awais Sultan"

• "It was emotional and kept me on the edge" -Unknown

• "It showed me that courage can take your far. If you keep pushing yourself then there is no limit." -Unknown

• "Hard work has a value for all of life, bot just “winning”!"-Unknown

• "I forgot I was watching a movie. It kept me on the edge of my seat." -Unknown

Along with these testimonies, we are releasing a new trailer which features some of the written testimonies above. At the end of our trailer, NOVEMBER 2016 blasts as the release date. More information on that coming soon.

Until next time.. Keep it Reel!

PRE-ORDER "STAND UP"

---

Two high school seniors have one last shot to rise to the expectations of their team by wrestling to the PIAA State Tournament.

Stand Up, the feature documentary film on escaping from bottom, is now taking names for pre-orders! If you haven't done it already, head over to reelnationmedia.com/standup to sign up. And if you have already so, make sure to read on to see what you will be getting in return! But some of you may be asking...

Why are we asking for your names and information when we are not yet able to actually take payment?

First off, Stand Up is still in the distribution stage, where we are trying to figure out the best ways to have our film reach you, our audience! Having your information will help us determine if a theater screening, DVD, or online download/rental would be best for you.

Secondly, Reel Nation Media is still in the process of acquiring commercial rights to the materials used in the film. It would simply be unlawful to make any sales at this point.

Finally, Reel Nation Media and Stand Up's filmmakers want to take this opportunity to get to openly interact and know you before any business gets in the way of that. To thank you for taking interest in Stand Up, we want to share with you the following before anyone else:

• 1st notice of any purchaseable and pre-purchaseable options

• News concerning film festivals

• News concerning test screening lotteries

• First look at teasers and trailers

• First look at movie extras

• First look at a new music video on the film

• Access to a future "pre-pre-order" discount

And the greatest thing we think we can offer:

• VIP Status when contacting Reel Nation Media

For us this is huge because we really value what you have to say, and we will truly take it to heart. The reason why we make films in the first place is to have it projected to you, and to hopefully illuminate a part of your life. So we want to get to know you, talk to you, and ultimately serve you.

We can't wait to share theses things with you. Please feel free to share this email, Stand Up, or our website, so that we may get this message to everyone who needs it: "Stand Up!"

That's all for this update. We will send another as soon as a new development or extra listed above arises. Keep it Reel.
