Ok, that was a cool story. Can someone give me the link for the trailer web site for Witch Hunt--I must have missed this info somewhere along the way. I'd love to see it.

why did you choose not to use the mansfield live version?

It's the version that first drew you to using the song?

Cool story! So did Eddie in turn get Sean Penn involved? That's crazy that it's your first movie and you guys are struggling, and next thing you know Sean is producing and narrating it.:cool:

wow - that's terrifying

sorry I missed it at the TIFF

You can add Australia to that list. Any chance of the film coming to the land of Oz

That's awesome! Congratulations.

Now all you need is for Brad Klausen, Ames Bros., or Jeff to do your movie poster (or tickets).

Cool story! Another proof that the band have their hearts in the right place!
Just watched the trailer and even that little clip made a great impact on me. It sounds like it's a story that needs to be told! It would be great if you could bring the film over to Europe!

Thanks everybody for the great posts. I'll be sure to keep updating the board with new information about the film whenever possible.

It's interesting, a few people have asked if Eddie helped us contact Sean Penn and the answer is no. We approached Sean separately before we even knew about Into the Wild. Then, as we were waiting to hear back from Sean, I started to read about the friendship these two men had. I figured they knew each other from the Dead Man Walking days...heck these guys know just about everybody...but to read about them collaborating on a project at the same time as we were working with them was totally bizarre. Personally, I think Into the Wild should have been recognized as the best picture of last year.

As I mentioned a few pages back. We're going to screen the film at the Denver Film Festival on November 20th and 21st. Come check it out if you're in the area. Then, we're planning a huge northern California premiere for the end of February. That one may even be a benefit for the Innocence Project as well. I can't say much more about it yet, but I'll keep you posted.

Good question. I would have loved to use that version, but the clapping and WooHoo'ing at the beginning of the song we're impossible to edit out and wildly inappropriate to leave in.

Does anyone know of a live version of Long Road without any crowd noise? The only one I can think of comes from the America Tribute to Heroes Concert.

Thanks,
Don

Don - thanks for sharing your experience here. I wish you the best of luck with the film. It looks very compelling. So nice to hear that both Eddie and Sean saw the value in the story you were telling and became a part of it. Congratulations.

Ok

This sounds like a very interesting project - thanks for sharing the awesome Ed story...I'll definately need to check this out....would be great if you would update the thread when its on MSNBC in '09...

Powerful trailer! Intense subject. This takes courage to take this on.

What an awesome story with Ed & Sean! Another reminder to us all to continue to take leaps of faith in life. Good stuff happens all the time.

Congrats! Much continued success with many more films to follow.
