"The Union" - Film Project

Thomas Laughlin

Get "The Union" on DVD today for Christmas!

The deadline I can have DVD copies made, for sale for friends and relatives, if you want to buy copies for them for Christmas, is the 22nd of December, so I can get them made and shipped to you, or shipped to your family member or friend.


For my myspace fans!! They are only $8.00 bucks (if you email me the discount code word "myspace" to tomyboy342000@yahoo), plus $1.50 to ship.


Please let me know in advance of how many DVDs you want. The more you buy the cheaper the duplicator will go. If you order 5 copies = $40, instead of $45, as an example.


Anyways, hope everyone has a great holiday season and I look forward to possibly seeing everyone again, if we get a premiere party slated for the spring (wink wink Brandee...)

Don't forget to stop by the myspace and say hi!! http://www. myspace. com/theunionfilmproject

Anyhow, take care!!

The decision that will affect the course of her family history, her future, and her destiny.

Just another little announcement, I am also looking for anyone interesting in investing in the feature film version of this short film "The Union", as it has a ton of potential.

As we gear up for the fall and Halloween, I just wanted to invite you to the premiere of my vampire suspense thriller: "The Union".

We are meeting at Founder's Park in Centerville, Utah and please invite any and everyone. Here is the poster to print out and email them to everyone you know. This is for potential development for a feature film that we build awareness and get everyone there. Hope you see you there.

Again, this event is for everyone, potentially provide networking for nation-wide filmmakers, producers, and industry people - to gather and talk about their projects, meet talent, producers, and if anything, meet the cast and crew, and everyone can visit, chill, and have a good time.

Please come and invite the family and all your friends, and again, please email and get the word out and have all your friends do the same. This well-made, Hollywood quality short film is a unique vampire suspense drama/thriller no one will want to miss!!

Thanks,

Tom Laughlin
