Cory McAbee’s ‘Stingray Sam’ Coming to Screens of All Sizes

‘Stingray Sam’ was one of the biggest surprises coming out of CineVegas this year.   You can check out my review, or you can hop a ride to Austin, Texas later this month.   The film, written and directed by Cory McAbee, is going to be playing at this year’s Fantastic Fest.   Fortunately for those of us who can’t make it to Fantastic Fest, the film is coming our way, fairly soon, at that.   Like September 15th soon.   At least, this is what’s been spelled in the email McAbee sent out this afternoon.

But, don’t take my word for it.   Read for yourself:

Dear friends of Stingray Sam,

STINGRAY SAM is coming September 15th to screens of all sizes!

And to celebrate this event, STINGRAY SAM will premiere simultaneously in the theater and online! It’s free for everyone, and we cordially invite you to share in the festivities.

If you can’t join me in Los Angeles on Tuesday, September 15th at the Downtown Independent where I will be hosting the party, then I’ll join YOU in your living room. Here’s how–

When you visit my blog, thesmalleststar.blogspot.com, you will see a billboard announcing the event. At 7P PST on the 15th when the event begins, the billboard will turn into a live broadcast of the premiere from the theater. Following the event, if you have a question you would like to ask, feel free to join the conversation by entering the chat. The video chat option will allow you to be projected onto the theater’s silver screen.

Take me into your home and your friends’ homes too. You can do this by posting the billboard to your Blog or Web Page.

September 15th also marks the date that STINGRAY SAM will be available for purchase exclusively from our website, www.stingraysam.com. We have a lot to offer you. We’ll have iPod compatible digital downloads, DVD’s, STINGRAY SAM T-shirts, and for those of you who enjoy that Billy Nayer Show music that the kids today love so much, the soundtrack. All of this and more, so be sure to visit our store after the party.

So share the billboard, keep sharing the trailer and JOIN US on September 15th!

STINGRAY SAM is coming to you on screens of all sizes!

Your friend,
Cory McAbee
