Sean McCarthy, one of the three voices of RadioIrish.com — America’s only Irish station — has again stepped up as a loyal friend of Red Roses and Petrol. As he did last year for the theatrical release of the film, McCarthy has created informative promotional spots for the DVD release both at http://www.irishvox.com/radioirish.html and on YouTube http://www.irishvox.com/radioirish.html. Log on to view them for yourself and catch the excitement and momentum for the upcoming DVD and soundtrack release, October 13th.
World Wide Motion Pictures Corporation’s Marketing & Distribution Executives have arranged for Red Roses and Petrol to be offered by Netflix. It’s already being advertised as “coming soon” on the www.netflix.com website and will become available for rental prior to year’s end. If you’ve seen Red Roses and Petrol and have a Netflix account, please log on to help boost its profile with a positive review and rating. We appreciate your help.
Great news! Thanks to an ancillary distribution deal constructed by World Wide Motion Pictures Corporation, beginning on Tuesday, October 13, the Red Roses and Petrol DVD will be available for sale online from Barnes and Noble, Borders, Best Buy, TransworldEntertainment.com, and Amazon. In addition to selling the DVD and soundtrack on its own website http://www.warriorrecords.com/redrosesandpetrol, Warrior Records (as reported before) will also be making them both available through iTunes, and the soundtrack alone through Rhapsody. As previously announced, they are both still available through pre-orders directly from World Wide Motion Pictures Corporation via http://www.wwmpc.com as well. We thank everyone for showing their support for this great film by purchasing copies of the DVD and soundtrack. They make great holiday presents!
Don’t miss the October 1 issue of The Irish Herald, the oldest Irish newspaper on the West Coast. In it, the story behind turning Irish playwright Joseph O’Connor’s critically acclaimed play, Red Roses and Petrol, into a movie is related. Additionally, former Miss Ireland Olivia Tracey, who plays the matriarch of the grieving Doyle family in the story, speaks out about her experience making the film and working with her onscreen spouse, Malcolm McDowell. The article, which was written by World Wide Motion Pictures Corporation’s Kelli M. Larson, will be passed along to other papers in the American Irish Media Group for publication consideration.
