18/07/06 Mercury’s, Loose Change 2 doc is set to explode
the official narrative of 9/11 world on the fifth anniversary
The controversial film, which Italian daily ‘Corriere Della
Sera’ described as ‘bigger than Fahrenheit 9/11’,
alleges that the US government has lied about the events of 9/11
as a pretext for starting ‘The War On Terror’.
MercuryMedia today announced that following a four-page article
in the August edition of Vanity Fair magazine, the film has
secured a number of programme licences, garnered movie studio
interest and has been offered professional grassroots marketing
expertise.
Loose Change 2, was made by film-makers Dylan Avery and Korey
Rowe of Louder Than Words LLC.
Said Nancy Jo Sales of Vanity Fair ‘the 80 minute film might
be the first internet blockbuster… with at least 10 million
downloads… It is safe to say that, if it were a theatrical
release, Loose Change would be one of the most popular – and
incendiary- movies in the country right now’.
Since the article’s publication, four movie studios have
contacted Louder Than Words about co-producing the theatrical
cut, Loose Change Final Edition, which is in production now.
Mercury will distribute the property outside the U.S. It is set
to debut at next years Sundance Festival. The producers had this
to say: “It is our goal to reach as many people as possible,
it is our belief that releasing Loose Change Final Cut at
Sundance will be a step in that direction.”
The film which formed a presentation on ‘reverse
distribution’ at Discovery Campus at the weekend has also
won the support of ‘What the Bleep’ grassroots
marketeer Pavel Mikoloski who said ‘I will do what I can to
get the word out about Loose Change’
International Broadcasters Planete France, Canal+ Poland, VRT
Belgium, Vara Holland, Noga Israel, MBC Middle East, Noga Israel,
Globosat Brazil and Rai Italy are all licencing the film or parts
of the film for 9/11 anniversary shows. In addition VOD and DVD
rights in a number of territories have been snapped up.
12/06/06 Mercury Picks Up New 9/11 Doc for Distribution
UK based distributor, MercuryMedia is continuing its acquisitions
drive with a new addition to its slate of documentaries.
“9/11: Press For Truth,” (48 minutes) by New York based
company DTT Documentaries, is the story of four 9/11 widows known
as “The Jersey Girls”. Together they battled the White
House for over a year and forced the official investigation - The
9/11 Commission. However, they soon discovered the commission to
be hopelessly compromised, with 70% of their questions remaining
unanswered. Charged with emotion and new revelations, this
documentary dramatically retraces “The Jersey
Girls’” quest for truth and the disturbing answers they
uncover through their independent research.
Jason McGeown, Marketing and Acquisitions Manager at Mercury
said: “This is a great 9/11 documentary. There are lots of
questions to be answered by the American government and this film
raises them in a responsible and level-headed manner. Not only is
this a valuable addition to the catalogue, it also increases the
9/11 programming that we can offer broadcasters. With Loose
Change 2 now the most downloaded film in history, accumulating
6million on-line views and CTVC’s, Victim 0001, which
focuses on Father Mychal Judge, the NY Fire Department Chaplain,
who died in the attacks, we can give the networks some real
choice for the 5th anniversary of the 2001 tragedy.
