Our National Outreach Campaign has begun, and we have hired a marketing firm that specializes in this type of campaign for advocacy documentaries. Here is a brief explanation from our brochure:
We’d like for you to join us on the front line as we introduce the nation to Community First, A Home for the Homeless through our National Outreach Campaign. The first step to achieving our goal is to reach the activists, policymakers, foundations, and companies that are actively involved in battling our homelessness crisis. We believe our story and message can inspire and educate leaders that are in a position to help people find the housing, dignity, and community we all deserve. We will accomplish this by:
‣ Red carpet film festival screenings to build awareness
‣ Partnerships with influencers in the areas of academia, faith, and media
‣ Screenings & discussions at top universities and libraries
‣ Grassroots faith outreach to churches, mosques, and community centers
‣ National television broadcast on PBS or CNN
‣ Digital release on iTunes, Amazon, and Netflix
On October 29, I will be presenting the film at the Texas Nonprofit Summit. I’m super excited about this, and we’re hoping this is the first of many more conferences where we can introduce the Community First! Village model. The conference will be held at the beautiful Tobin Center for the Performing Arts in San Antonio, and the film will screen at 3:15. Please contact me if you know of any conferences or organizations who may be interested in learning about this innovative approach to ending homelessness.
