Greater Philadelphia Filmmakers, established in 2001, is a natural extension of work that the Film Office has fostered for years. In addition to attracting production to the region for the purpose of economic development, the Film Office is committed to nurturing the local industry in every way possible.

Well, not to worry, below are three ways you can check out the film that everyone is talking about.  Some that offer cheaper prices and others that offer more convenience.

1. Buy the DVD directly from Eventide Productions – This is our preferred method, of course.  $10.00 and it goes right into the pockets of us filmmakers. 

2. Download or Stream it from Caachi - That’s right!  You can now stream or download the film from Caachi.com.  Next best thing  – $4.50 and 75% goes into the filmmaker’s pockets. You can also add a nifty little Vidget to put on your Facebook or MySpace page. 

3. Buy the DVD from Amazon.com – We know most folks prefer to order things from Amazon.com these days, and now “Of Darkness” is available for purchase, so next time your buying something, throw it into your shopping cart and you probably won’t even have to pay shipping.  This option costs $12.99 – Honestly, we may only see half of this cash, but if it means more people get to see it, then it’s still a solid option.  

In addition to these options, we have a few more distribution options cooking…in the upcoming weeks, the film will be available to rent through Amazon’s Video OnDemand and we’re also working on making the film available to download directly through iTunes.

Of Course, If you’ve already seen the film, you can always pick up a T-Shirt or Poster.
