The Family Film: A Christmas Snow Publicity Tour

Posted by Joe Jestus at 12:58 pm

That’s right, we’re putting the “Family” back in Family Film later this month, when Tracy J Trost (Co-writer and Director of A Christmas Snow) and myself (Joe Jestus) will be traveling the country with our families in 2 RVs for the A Christmas Snow publicity tour. The Trost Moving Pictures Family RV Caravan will travel over 7,000 miles when all is said and done and have visited almost 20 states.

We’ll be visiting TV stations, Radio stations, newspapers, and websites with our families as we proudly wear the hat of A Christmas Snow the movie ambassadors and share the heartwarming story of forgiveness and reconciliation that Catherine Mary Stewart, Muse Watson, Anthony Tyler Quinn, Cameron ten Napel, and the rest of the cast brought to life.

We’ve made a page here on the A Christmas Snow site where you can see where we’re tweeting from, look at pictures, and even videos from along the way. Plus, if you’re on facebook you can comment right on the page and tell us what you like (or don’t like), ask questions, or just let us know if we might see you at an upcoming stop.

We would love to hear from you about the heartwarming Christmas film that we are hoping brings countless families back together again this Christmas season. We’ve already begun to hear great stories of how watching A Christmas Snow has affected people. So pipe in on the page as we travel around and be on the lookout as Friday night is movie night and we’ll be stopping in a few places to hold special screenings of the film.

Click here and bookmark the page now and on July 26th get ready for the A Christmas Snow adventure to begin.

ACS Publicity Tour

Remember that you can bring a screening of A Christmas Snow to your church, organization, or ministry. Visit our friends at: www.hearstonepictures.com and bring this years most anticipated Christmas film (the distribution guys make me say that) to your group for a screening, even before it’s available in stores.

Recap of the 2nd Public Screening at ICRS

Catherine Mary Stewart on the Big Screen at ICRS

First off, I want to thank the hundreds of ICRS attendees who came by Tuesday night to see the 2nd Public Screening of A Christmas Snow starring Catherine Mary Stewart, Muse Watson, Cameron ten Napel, and Anthony Tyler Quinn. It was great to see you all there and to watch the film with you.

For Tracy J Trost the director of the film and myself it was an interesting time. We are proud of the work that everyone did in making A Christmas Snow. The cast and crew were incredible and they have worked together to make a wonderful and heartwarming family Christmas film. At the same time, it’s always a bit nerve racking to share it with others. The big difference at ICRS too, was that it was screening for the first time to people who really weren’t connected to us or the project in any way. Our first screening was with the crew, family, friends, and fans of the cast and while it’s always good to get great reviews from those groups you still wonder what a crowd of strangers would say.

With that said, Tracy took the stage, loosened up the crowd a little, gave away a screener copy, and then the lights went down. The movie started and it looked amazing on the big screen, a testament to the thousands of hours of work the crew put into making it. I probably watched the crowd more than the film and as time passed, the laughs started, and to our surprise even more laughs. The audience laughed more than at our first screening, we were relieved.

If you were following us on twitter at: twitter.com/TMPics you would have gotten the update about whether or not I should tell them the tears will start soon. I didn’t tell them… and they started. I watched as person after person began to wipe tears from their eyes as the movie came to a close. It was an incredible feeling and such a wonderful experience. I wish you could have all been there.

For us at Trost Moving Pictures our goal is simple, I’m looking forward to the emails, tweets, posts, and letters from those who have seen A Christmas Snow and were so moved, that this Christmas they contacted their mom, dad, daughter, son, brother, sister, or whoever and made an effort to restore a relationship that was previously lost. It’s not about sales or charts (although those can be nice), for us… for me… my number one goal is a book of stories, of lives changed and families, friends, and relationships restored. I hope you will join with us on this adventure and I thank you for coming with us already so far.

With hope for a Very Merry Christmas,
