This came across my screen sent in by a friend who knows I like to

champion true artistic ingenuity.  I have not seen the movie, but the

idea... great marketing.  I will keep my eye on them and see if I can

get a copy of the film for review...

Green Eyed Monster and $10,000 Prize Lure

Horror Movie Fans During Young Filmmakers'

Cross-Country Trek

LOS ANGELES, March 14, 2008 -- Filmmakers Gabriel Barboza
and Jose Sauceda have begun their cross-country treck in an
unprecedented grassroots effort to spread the word about the
new movie Green Eyed Monster and the $10,000 contest built
into it. The pair financed the tour by auctioning off ad
space on a large mobile billboard truck that will be driven
from New York to Los Angeles.

The filmmakers completed a regional round through Texas -
with a presence at Texas Frightmare Weekend, Texas Fearfest,
and the Austin, TX debut of the movie at the Dobie Theater -
and are headed eastward into New Jersey for the Monster
Mania convention. The film will also screen in Queens, NY at
the Hell Gate Social Club before they head westward toward
California. The journey will culminate in Los Angeles for
Fangoria's Weekend of Horrors at the Los Angeles convention
center, and a screening of the film.

The film is a supernatural thriller based on Hispanic
folklore. A group of young friends are drawn to an abandoned
ranch by rumors of hidden money. Their hunger for the money
grows as the grisly history of the land threatens to consume
them all.

The official website, http://www.greeneyedmonstermovie.com,
follows the pair through video-logs and blogs about their
journey. The tour schedule and locations can be found on the
site as well.

Tour screenings include Queens, Atlanta, Tucson, and Los
Angeles. To personalize the experience they have extended an
offer to the general public for anyone who hosts a Watching
Party by saying that they will make the parties official
stops along the tour. The filmmakers will also hit colleges,
horror conventions, and film festivals along the way.

"We want to tell the world about Green Eyed Monster," says
Barboza, the director of the film.

Green Eyed Monster features a highly unique aspect. The film
contains a number of clues throughout it that actually lead
to real cash! Clues leading to prizes totaling more than
$10,000 can be found throughout the film. "We wanted to
create an exciting experience for the people who support
Green Eyed Monster," Barboza explains. By engaging in the
treasure hunt, people can reap great benefits from the film
long after watching.

The film was shot on a modest budget with Barboza serving as
Writer, Director, Producer, and Editor. The movie itself was
written around a simple premise: If an audience is watching
a movie about people digging for money why not let them dig
for their own?
