New location for videos

I'm continuing to expand the number of places on the net where you can watch the Ocean Front videos. The newest one is MetaCafe.

What's cool about MetaCafe is they actually have a program where you can get paid for the number of hits you receive. And from a video poster's standpoint, they have some cool functions that YouTube doesn't offer, like you can pick the frame from the video that will be the thumbnail that people see, as opposed to whatever random moment YouTube picks for you.

So, I'll be posting vids from MetaCafe here from now on. CLICK over and watch a few of the vids, it would really help me out!

New Vid! A scene from Ocean Front Property

Hey everyone,

Here's your newest Ocean Front Property Promo Video for you to enjoy. This is the first of many scenes from the movie that we will be sharing with you.

In this scene, titled "Valerie Has Arrived", Rick's vacation at the beach house is rudely interrupted by Valerie, arriving with Pierre. After an awkward moment between the two, Rick flees to the deck to be alone. But soon after, Jordan has come out to check on her friend.



To all those out there getting an early start on their holidays, I wish you a Merry Christmas/Chanukah/Festivus/Saturnalia. Be safe in your travels and enjoy yourselves.

Official Launch

For all those out there who have gotten word of the launch of the new www.oceanfrontmovie.com, welcome one and all to the new Ocean Front Property Blog.

Subscribe to this blog to receive updates on all the new videos and news from the new website. There will be plenty to talk about on here in the coming weeks and months. The website is a work in progress, so there will be announcements here, as well as letting you know about the newest places online to find Ocean Front Property.

The name of the game here is EXPOSURE! I honestly don't care if you buy a DVD or not, just as long as you tell someone out there about what we're doing. Link to me and I'll link to you. I'm searching for ways to put OFP online to download as cheap as possible. Like I said, I just want you to see it.

Anyway, feel free to snoop around here and DON'T be shy about giving suggestions. I'm up for it. Friend up with us on the Myspace page and explore all the nooks and crannies of the homepage.

Thanks for checking us out. Hope to see you around.

First web promo video!

With the launch of this first promo video:



I'm pretty much kicking off the big launch of the campaign for Ocean Front Property on the web.

I'm excited to be doing this not only because I want to open up Ocean Front to a wider audience, but also because I've been working for several months now on this web launch and it's great to finally see it all come together. There are still a few outlets for finding Ocean Front that are still being worked out, and of course this will be the first place I'll announce it when it happens, but I'm not one for waiting. Obviously. If I was, I'd probably still be waiting to shoot the dang thing.

So, in a sense, the nature of this release is right in keeping with the nature this entire production. :)

On the home page (http://www.oceanfrontmovie.com), there is a listing for Amazon.com, which says "coming soon". The CustomFlix service that appears below it offers sales on Amazon.com, but I've been told it takes up to 2 weeks to get that set up. So, it's a definite thing. Just gotta wait for it to get set up. And there's nothing I can do to speed that up, unfortunately.

Something else I'm doing is working with a couple of online retailers that stream the movie online or offer a "download to own" option where you can download the film and then burn it to a DVD so it'll play like any regular DVD. These services are out there and I'm trying to set it up, and when I do, I'm going to try to get it for as cheap as I possibly can, perhaps to the point where I make nothing at all from the sale, because I think it's only fair if I'm asking someone to buy a movie that they've never heard of, with actors they've never heard of, they should be able to at least see it once for really cheap, instead of being asked to shell out a bunch of money for a DVD.

You might notice I mention that option in the video. That might be a little bit of gun-jumping. But I'll get it out there.

Speaking of DVDs, I am also working on a bigger, full-feature, "deluxe" version with deleted scenes (which even the cast have never seen) outtakes, maybe commentary, etc. I will probably only be able to offer that through PayPal, but we'll see. Again, you'll hear it here first.

Anyway, thanks as always for visiting. Feel free to post comments, questions, "screw yous" below. I'm always open to feedback for this whole experiment of mine.

Peace,

-Joe

Ocean Front Property Full Trailer

Here's the original trailer for the movie. It's a bit long, and probably tells way too much about it, but, hey, I like it.

So now we're up to date.

Peace.

The Ocean Front Property Teaser

Here's the teaser trailer for Ocean Front, the first video to be released. Enjoy!

Blog up and running

This is a strange post to write since I know for a fact that nobody will be reading this anytime soon. But here goes.

First off, why a blog?

Because by God, sometimes you just gotta blog.

Actually, I don't plan on putting a lot of lengthy posts in here. I have other avenues to express my deepest opinions. This is strictly for keeping people up and informed on the newest developments in Ocean Front Property and my adventure in self-distribution.

The big joy of a blog is the ability to subscribe so you can be updated on the spot. So, if you want to be the first to know what new video is out (which should happen once a week), subscribe to this blog and you will be. Like I said, I won't waste your time with a bunch of claptrap. This is all about the movie.

Feel free to give me feedback for the videos here. For more information about the film, go to www.oceanfrontmovie.com. Links to the side for places to find the movie, buy it and watch it.

Thanks for visiting. Come back. Tell friends. Link videos. Wash behind your ears.

Peace,

-Joe
