2019: An Eventful Year for SKIN DEEP….
• 2019 saw the completion of editing, color correction, sound design & sound mixing of SKIN DEEP thanks in no small part to hundreds of tax-deductible donations and a successful Kickstarter campaign
• A standing ovation and an extremely engaged pair of Q&A sessions at our World Premiere in Los Angeles at the Awareness Film Festival.
• SKIN DEEP won the Innovation Award at the Awareness Festival.
• Educational distribution of SKIN DEEP through The Video Project started in 2019, and continues to benefit communities through sales to hospitals, universities, libraries and concerned citizens who are hosting screenings for friends, families, co-workers and community members.
• Authors and physicians heaped praise on the film. Like this: "A superb documentary exploring the skin-crawling disease of Morgellons and the plight of its sufferers. A reminder that physicians need to be open-minded about emerging new diseases." - Kris Newby, Author of Bitten
LOOKING FORWARD
2020 will be an even bigger year for SKIN DEEP:
• Educational & community distribution continues through The Video Project
• SKIN DEEP will play a world-renowned film festival! (to be announced in February 2020)
• But perhaps the biggest news of 2020 will be...
SKIN DEEP is launching on iTunes, Amazon and Google on March 31, 2020 through our retail distributor Gravitas Ventures.
RATING / REVIEWS
If you’ve seen SKIN DEEP and find it an important step forward in the public's education on Morgellons disease, please rate the film & post a 1-4 sentence review on our facebook page and imdb page. The ratings make a difference when TV channels and streaming services look at SKIN DEEP for their audiences.
NETFLIX?
The question I get asked all the time is… When will SKIN DEEP be on Netflix?
The truth is Netflix doesn’t buy documentaries like it used to--they're very choosy and have new criteria that films must adhere to before the streaming giant will consider licensing a documentary. So the question becomes how do we get SKIN DEEP on there? The answer: pre-orders.
In February (Morgellons Awareness month) we’ll launch a campaign to get over 300 pre-orders on iTunes. If that happens then we'll stand a good chance of premiering on Netflix, and a Netflix premiere would mean our message of compassionate care and scientific research will be distributed worldwide in the strongest way possible.
SKIN DEEP NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT
Although the Awareness film festival was a fantastic world premiere, SKIN DEEP received zero press at the event. Not a single reporter, blogger or influencer wrote a story about the documentary or Morgellons disease awareness. I’d like that to change. In the months leading up to our March 31st launch I’d like to hire a PR firm to ensure that the press is given every opportunity to cover our iTunes/Amazon/Google release. Because the more press we get, the further our message will travel. Please give a tax-deductible donation now and help launch SKIN DEEP into the public consciousness through online articles, newspapers and magazines.
