Example!

Contestant social media presence continues!until release of movie, carrying out movie story line!

After the death of his legendary father, Casey Lindeweiler is attempting to keep his family radio !station, WTYT960, afloat by pulling out one of the oldest tricks in radio, the wacky contest. Casey!announces the “Great WTYT960 Billboard Sitting Contest,” where four lucky people will live on a !billboard until only one person remains, to win “nine sixty thousand” dollars and a mobile home.

!At first the laughing stock of the community, Caseyʼs hair-brained scheme to drum up !listeners garners national attention, attracting potential contestants from across the country. Completely unprepared for the limelight, Casey quickly learns that popularity doesnʼt pay the bills, a lesson his father never learned.

!As the four contestants ascend ladders to their new homes, there are already complications. Casey neglected to file the appropriate zoning applications, leaving the contestants to fend for themselves and at the mercy of the publicʼs generosity.

!The station and Caseyʼs fate are dependent upon the success of the contest and hope that it will last long enough to pay the bills and be popular enough to drive up ratings. But the four contestants got themselves into something that they hadnʼt bargained for: crazed fans, endless media attention, and something far, far worse…a competing radio station, routing for the failure of the only independent radio station left in town, WTYT960.

!With his back against the wall, and failure all but certain; Casey needs to dig deep within himself to figure out a way to right the sinking ship and restore the reputation of the call letters of the past. Tune in to WTYT960 to find out how he does it!!

MOVIE!helping others & fighting to stay independent  

Billboard an Uncommon Contest for Common People! is an underdog story, rooted in the fight to keep a business afloat while trying to help others along the way. Itʼs both a social commentary on the publicʼs obsession with perceived reality versus true reality and and the juxtaposition of the harried pace of “here and now” technology and time quietly passing by while being the center of attention.!
