Of course. I am coordinating the screening in Raleigh, NC. I used to be a newspaper editor, and I've done some freelance PR and PR for non-profit groups. I've also coordinated large-ish events before. I used my list of media contacts - which include all area newspapers (daily and weekly), college papers, radio stations, TV stations, magazines, and some special interest groups.

To be honest, as far as I know, it hasn't generated much response or free publicity. But we've still managed to sell more than 60% of our tickets, already. I think it's due to word of mouth in the Browncoat community, and maybe the fliers we've passed out EVERYWHERE (restaurants, book stores, comic shops, colleges, events, etc.).
