Want to help spread the word about Paranormal?

Cross Shadow Productions — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 20:55:00 GMT

First off, congratulations to Raleigh, NC! -- Raleigh is the first city that has enough people DEMANDING Paranormal to get the movie shown in March, 2010 at the Galaxy theater in Cary! (More details will follow.) If you have not already done so, please go DEMAND that Paranormal be shown in your city too!

With Paranormal only being one week away from hitting store shelves, we have had many people ask us, “What can I do to help get the word out about Paranormal?”. We appreciate everyone asking that question! We have just created a page on Paranormal’s website that will answer that question:

http://www.paranormalthemovie.com/spreadtheword/

We figured as if that excitement isn't enough, we want to add to it! There is something even bigger brewing now... We have an opportunity to get into theaters nationwide! But we need your help! Below you will find a link to our DEMAND IT campaign... if we can get 50 people in any metro area, that area will be put on the priority list to get a theater booked to show Paranormal!

So how can you help?

Demand it for yourself in your area!
Notify everyone you know to help demand it! Doesn't matter where they are!
Go to your Church, talk to anyone that can use this tool to reach people to let the TRUTH expose the darkness!

Summer update!

Cross Shadow Productions — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 18:29:00 GMT

Hey all you CSP fans!

Wanted to give a quick update on a couple of cool things going on in CSP Town:

We added fan pages for the movies and the company on Facebook - if you are on there, please join those and spread the word!
We are going to be releasing a couple of cool things from Pray 2.5 over the next couple of weeks, as Halloween approaches. Cross Shadow Productions was started with a mission of giving Christians tools to be able to host a youth / young adult night or weekend at their local Church that can provide a wholesome alternative to Halloween without sacrificing all the thrills and chills So in that spirit, we will release over the next couple of weeks:
- A TV interview with Dr. Matt Mitchell & Dillon Burroughs recorded at FamilyNET last year on what we are doing
- A TV interview with Dr. Matt Mitchell & Tiaan Kruger recorded at WATC in Atlanta, GA
- A sneak peak at the sneak peak of Pray 3 that is included on the Pray 2.5 disk !
- And maybe just maybe another cool little sneak peek of what is to come with Paranormal, the latest thriller from CSP Studios!

On a sidenote - please also pray for our director, Dr. Matt Mitchell and his wife Amy as they are due to have their second baby this upcoming week! CSP is truly growing in all directions! GOD IS GOOD! ALL THE TIME!

Have a blessed week everyone!
~The CSP Team
