DOCUMENTARY: Varsity Punks Summer Tour
In search of an innovative way to market our indie film, Varsity Punks, we put on a guerrilla–style theatrical release. 2 dude, 30 days on the road, we visited 14 states, relying on grassroots marketing to fill independent theaters across the country. We documented everything, including our daily social media stories, to engage our audience. This documentary is a glimpse into that experience!
