"YEAH! HOMIE!"

Dear Friends,

MARK YOUR CALENDARS - SEPTEMBER 5 AND SEPTEMBER 12 FOR THE OPENING OF THE FILM PING PONG PLAYA!

PING PONG PLAYA OPENS TODAY!!!

The new comedy from Oscar winner Jessica Yu - PING PONG PLAYA opens September 5th in SAN FRANCISCO, SAN JOSE, BERKELEY, LOS ANGELES, GLENDALE, ALHAMBRA, IRVINE and NEW YORK.

On September 12, the film opens in SEATTLE and HOUSTON! Please spread the word and send email blasts!

It's an exciting time--but here's where we need you. We'll let the movie speak for itself (if the reactions of people who have seen the movie is any indication, we firmly believe you won't be disappointed), but we need your help to spread the word about the release of the movie.

Independent movies don't have the marketing budget to compete against the mammoth studio movies, but what we do have is intense, strong word-of-mouth (just check out any of a number of our reviews--from outlets large and small, from critics, bloggers, and chat room posters alike).

We are encouraging groups of people to buy out blocks of seats on our first opening weekend in each of these cities. Bring your friends, your family and your neighbors. The film is for all ages.

In San Francisco - on Saturday, September 6 - we have some groups of people buying out seats and in Los Angeles there will be groups coming to the Mann Chinese 6 and Alhambra.

We could use more people buying out seats on all of the other cities and every theater. Our website:www.pingpongplaya.com

And if you know of any friends w/ websites or blogs that want to support the film by putting up our banner ads, please download here:
