“We really had a great experience working

with 8 Above on the theatrical release of

Sam Now. They booked the film in all the

major markets we wanted to hit, including

our Oscar qualifying run in New York. They

worked to develop the schedule and

strategy of how to maximize getting people

out to theaters and provided great value for

what we were able to accomplish.”
