[1] The long-awaited release of Sean Blakemore's Big Ain't Bad on DVD is only
four days away. We are pleased to report from Urbanworks Entertainment a final
number in terms of DVD's ordered by stores nationally prior to street date --
44, 868!
[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 our movie to buy the Big Ain't Bad DVD!
