Sean Blakemore Friends & Family:
[1] The long-anticipated release of the Big Ain't Bad DVD, Sean Blakemore's
leading man debut, is only three days away. Per distributor Urbanworks
Entertainment (DVD distributor of Dave Chappelle, Fat Albert, Mo'Nique, and Bill
Bellamy -- and on a hot roll since picking up the DVD rights to The Cosby Show
and A Different World earlier this spring, see: www.urbanworksent.com), we are
pleased to report a final number in terms of DVD's ordered by stores nationally
prior to street date -- 44, 868! Key Urbanworks accounts Wal-Mart, Blockbuster,
and Hollywood Video lead the way!
[2] We hope that you have enjoyed screenings of Big Ain't Bad on the Starz!
Channel (Starz! In Black) this month. The release of the high quality Big Ain't
Bad DVD rolls out on May 24, 2005, in stores everywhere! The DVD shows the film
in its most colorful and crisp form (35mm, full frame), and Urbanworks
Entertainment has expanded the size of the standard DVD, in order to accommodate
for the addition of outtakes, deleted scenes, trailer, and audio commentary.
Please direct those interested in seeing Big Ain't Bad to buy the BAB DVD,
distributed by Urbanworks Entertainment!
