Electric Purgatory DVD Release Date

Greetings Family,

I wanted to get everyone caught up on all the activity relating to the film. I want to start by thanking everyone who was emailed about the release of the film. We first started screening Electric Purgatory in March of 2005 and had our last screening in February of 2008. During this time I have been inundated with traditional distribution opportunities. The negotiating process has opened my eyes to what has been lacking in Hollywood, VISION. I felt that I owed the many musicians who donated their time and energy as well as fans of the film to get the best possible situation I could for Electric Purgatory.

I truly feel that I have achieved this by signing on with Cinetic Media. They presented me with an exciting, progressive business model that coincided with my vision for distribution for Electric Purgatory. I delivered all materials for the film to Cinetic back in April and it's been nonstop anticipation ever since. I was told that Electric Purgatory would be ready for release sometime this summer. I must say I felt even more at ease when I found out Matt Dentler of SXSW fame had joined Cinetic Media as head of marketing and programming operations. (Texans always do it better!)

It has been quite an emotional rollercoaster ride for me with Electric Purgatory. We started filming back in September 2002 with principle photography ending around July of 2004. The final edit was completed February of 2008. The dvd contains many exciting tidbits that were held from the Festival run including an exclusive interview with HR of Bad Brains. In the meantime, please feel free to visit us on Myspace, Facebook, and Twitter by following the links below. I'll be giving more updates as we get closer to the release. Thanks again for all your support.

All the best,

Raymond Gayle
