If you haven’t heard already the primary venue for our DVD sales is going to be Filmbaby.com. This will include our sales through Amazon.com and other ancillary markets. Basically if you’re not physically buying a copy from a member of the cast or crew of the movie it’s somehow coming through Filmbaby.com (no relation to Filmkid.com, by the way, except of course that they’re pimping our movie for us)
And that’s OK. I want as many of the sales we make to go through Filmbaby as possible. Why? Well to beat Gilbert Gottfried of course.
See, his DVD ‘Dirty Jokes’ is currently the #2 all time best seller on Filmbaby, and I want that #2 spot. The #1 spot is currently held by some documentary on heavy metal fans that I’ve never heard of and don’t much care about, but I’d love to be able to boast beating Gilbert Gottfried in sales on Filmbaby.com. It’s not that I have anything against the guy. Heck, I even like him. He does a mean Jerry Seinfeld impression. But to me it’s just more satisfying to say that I’m beating some B-List celebrity (see, if I didn’t like him I’d have said at best C-list) than to say that the sales are just “doing well”
So please, if you love Filmkid and regardless of how you feel about Gilbert Gottfried, please buy a shitload of copies through Filmbaby.
Everybody wins.
Except Gilbert Gottfried.
