A Lesson in Easy Promotion
I have a friend who is an aspiring actor. While he can hardly be described as modest or shy about his minor accomplishments, his bank account is another story. Last month, we went to this movie premiere (he was an extra) and my friend became instantly inspired by these Eclipse movie t-shirts as a way to promote his work and possibly get the attention of more casting directors.
I asked him if he was going to use a print shop and he looked at me like I had a horn growing out of my head. He said that if it weren't for the web, he probably wouldn't be able to score the bit parts he's gotten over the past couple of years. Between his website, IMDB page and various social networks, the web has allowed him to make many virtual contacts.
He finished by emphasizing that he needed to up his game with a custom tee shirt that is sure to get attention of many in the town of Hollyweird. Then I realized that t-shirts have a long shelf life as long as they are kept clean and readable. They are also sort of passive as opposed to my friend passing out flyers to strangers or expensive glossies that may go into a slush pile.
