It's almost hard to believe that Behind The Mask was released 6 years ago. Since then, director/writer Scott Glosserman has been working on getting Before The Mask off the ground. They've had a number of ways fans could support funding efforts in the past, but but now we have news on two interesting items for those that love the first film and want to see a new movie made.
The big news item is that Behind The Mask will be making a limited theatrical return. The catch is that enough people need to request it in your area with a new Theatrical on Demand service:
From Scott Glosserman: "I was so bummed out about our theatrical run, 6 years ago, because I knew there were people who wanted to see the movie, but it wasn't playing anywhere near them. For B4TM I created a distribution mechanism that changes all that. I call it TOD — Theatrical On Demand. The company is called Gathr...
What Gathr will allow you to do is to 'pull' a movie to a local theatre near you…but, only if we can get enough people to commit to going in time, by pre-authorizing their credit cards for a ticket. If not enough people commit, no harm no foul, the screening doesn't happen and no one gets charged. This model, if it works, will give movies like B4TM a chance to be seen in theaters."
The details: "...you can request a screening to bring BEHIND THE MASK to a theatre near you, for one night only, on WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 11th. For the equipped theatres, the screening will be followed by a live panel discussion of the movie and a Q&A with myself and cast members, that will be Skyped in.
So, we'll be able to take your questions from as far as Augusta, Maine to Anchorage, Alaska."

To go along with the theater release, a brand new limited edition poster for Behind The Mask has been released:
"So now you know why we had Justin Osbourn create a brand new theatrical poster for Behind The Mask, for one night only (April 11th) you can see it in a theater near you! Read the previous post for information on that! We've sold a ton of these beautiful posters, and only about 200 remain. Once they're gone they're gone for good so grab one while you can!"
