Dear Citizens,
Remember how we’ve been saying for far too long that we didn’t know when you were going to get to see our movie, because of uninteresting cruft like premiere dates and festival requirements and all that jazz?
We have an answer for you.
April 18-19, 2020.
In partnership with Record Store Day, we will be offering a special, limited-time digital screening of Vinyl Nation on what would have been RSD 2020 weekend, i.e. Saturday April 18 and Sunday April 19th. Independent record stores all over America will be selling digital tickets through our ticketing partner, Brown Paper Tickets. Tickets will be $10 plus sales tax and Brown Paper Tickets processing fee (so roughly $12 all told).
Here’s the catch.
Record stores selling tickets will keep 100% of the proceeds.
That's right.
The entire $10 ticket face value goes to your favorite record store. All of it.
Here’s how it works.
Find your favorite record store on Record Store Day’s master list of stores currently selling tickets.
Contact your favorite participating record store to get their Vinyl Nation ticket link. Most participating stores have posted it to their social media channels like Facebook, so check there first. Many have created Facebook events with the ticket link. If you can’t find their link, email them directly. You can find the store’s email using the Record Store Day master list link to your favorite store.
Your favorite record store might not be on the list. If not, CONTACT THEM and get them to sign up. All they have to is fill out this form and they're in: https://tinyurl.com/VinylNationRSD2020
Rules: Only physical record stores in the U.S. with an address please. No national chains. We will verify each store’s request.
On Friday, April 17th, you’ll receive a URL and password for where you can watch the movie. Vinyl Nation will be available 12 midnight Saturday Morning EDT, April 18 to 11:59 PM Sunday April 19th PDT. And once it’s gone, it’s gone.
We’ll be posting regular updates (including our upcoming trailer and poster which are just about done!) at the Vinyl Nation Facebook page and at our Instagram handle.
Friends, the louder you are about this, the better it is for your favorite record stores in this very difficult time. Let's not let 'em down.
Be with us, ya’ll, in 33 and 45,
Kevin and Chris
