Dear Fellow Lacrosse Community Member,
 
America's first mainstream lacrosse movie is finally here!  
 
CROOKED ARROWS is opening in select cities on May 18th and nationwide on June 1st!  
 
CROOKED ARROWS is a family-friendly PG movie with thrilling lacrosse action and a positive message.  I'm proud to see the sport we love portrayed in such a fun, exciting, and respectful way on the big screen.  I support this movie.  And I'm asking you to please support it, too. 
 
Together, let's make sure that our lacrosse community rallies enthusiastically behind what's poised to become a landmark event in the growth of lacrosse!  
 
Here's what you can do to help:
 
(1)   Plan a Group or Team "Event" for Opening Weekend, May 18th!
 
May is a competitive month for movies (it's when major studios release their summer blockbusters with $100 million marketing budgets).  However, the filmmakers feel it's important to release CROOKED ARROWS during lacrosse season, so that whole teams can share the positive experience together as an "event."  Let's send a message to theater owners that this lacrosse movie has a loyal & passionate fan base who wants to see it!   
 
(2)   Please Send This Message to Everyone in Your Network!
 
Believe it or not, many people in the lacrosse community still haven't even heard of CROOKED ARROWS.  We must make sure that everyone knows about this movie: coaches, teams, players (past & present), families, LaxMoms & LaxDads, and even lacrosse-friendly businesses.
 
Lacrosse has always been more than a great sport.  It's a meaningful way for communities, families, and friends to come together.  In keeping with that positive spirit, let's make CROOKED ARROWS a fun team-building experience, potential fundraising opportunity, and community-wide "event."
 
Please join me in supporting America's first lacrosse movie on opening weekend May 18th with your team, family, friends and peers.   Reserve your Group and Team tickets now.
 
I'll see you at the movies!
 
 
Thanks,
 
Aaron
Associate Producer
