48 Hours in Purgatory

July is nearly over which means we're closing in on Toronto Screamfest, the very first time footage from the actual film will be seen on the big screen! In honour of this exciting event we're launching a contest for both attendees of Screamfest and internet wizards alike.

The idea is to continue to create awareness about the film through the magic of the internets, beginning with the impossibly popular social networking site, Facebook. The goal is to grow the Facebook Group for 48 Hours in Purgatory larger than the official Toronto Screamfest Group before Monday, August 3. You can participate by spreading the word about the film, the official site and most importantly, the FB Group.

If we succeed, four winners will be chosen at random from the group and sent a special prize pack. In addition, four other winners will be selected from the “attending” list at the Screamfest Event Page for free tickets, a prize pack and a private dinner party to be held the night of the event. Confirmed Dinner Party guests include 48HiP actors Emily Alatalo (Ronnie), Jenna Jade Rain (Claire), Sean Szutka (Mark) and Writer/Director Jason Armstrong.

All Prize Packs will include posters, a signed DVD of Stripped! (featuring Emily Alatalo), and a collection stills (photographed by Jeremy Ransom) with notes from the cast and crew printed on the back. One Screamfest attendee will also receive a 24”x36” print of the first theatrical 48 HiP poster. You can increase your chances of winning by having referred members mention you by name in a wall post.

So fire up your twitters, facebook and myspace accounts and help us get the word out!
