Hi all,
I feel like I am beating a dead horse here but I have been getting direct e-mails from Under Our Skin Producers and am doing my best to help.

The turnouts for Boston, Newburyport & the Cape have been low to the point that they are worried here is the note:
Ann -


We just got feedback that hardly ANYONE came to see UNDER OUR SKIN last night in CAPE COD. Would you mind sending an email out to everyone on your list about our one week run in North Falmouth, MA on Cape Cod?


IT'S CRUCIAL WE GET MORE PEOPLE THERE!!!


Here is the info:


UNDER OUR SKIN in Cape Cod at the REGAL CINEMAS NICKELODEON 5 in North Falmouth, MA. It will be there for a week from 8/7 - 8/13.

THANKS!!!


San Diego a place where you don't even see ticks has had the highest turnout thus far. The reason they did was one woman went around to stores, coffee shops, doctor offices and everywhere she could think of passing out flyers, ect.

I did this yesterday in Newburyport, MA, I realize we are sick...I am sick too I had to drag myself out of bed to go yesterday. That is why we have to do it...because we are sick and for those too sick to even get out of bed.

We need people that aren't sick and don't have Lyme Disease to see the film like in San Diego but if they don't know about it they wont go.

Do any of you have an e-mail list or contact information for the support groups in MA? I am in NH so I dont have that information.

Also, do any of you know if Dr. D in his Cape office has anything posted about the movie and dates? I will call the Falmouth office but now they are closed.

Any advice or help anyone can offer is greatly appreciated by myself and the Under our Skin producers. They made the film for us now we need to help get it shown. They did their part now lets do ours!

Thanks,
Ann

As you know, "Under Our Skin" was put out on DVD prior to the local theatrical releases of the movie.

People had already bought the dvd and the film was shown in many libraries -- for free -- across the Cape this year.

So -- yes, it has amounted to begging people who have already seen the movie to show up.

It was sorta executed backwards -- and this is the result. What a shame.

Edit: I just heard through the grapevine that Andy Abrahams Wilson is happy with the #s that have shown up in Boston at the MFA.

I'm not sure of the # in the the theatre on Sunday, but it was probably at 1/2 capacity-- around 150 ppl.

If it would come here, I would go, even though I've seen it already. Anything to show a turn out. It's such a good movie, why don't people go see it? I guess until I got Lyme, I wouldn't have even understood that it could happen to me or even understood what Lyme REALLY is, or what it can turn into. A LIFE STEALER.
