Pledge of Support for the Secular Student Alliance

At Least 3,000 Signers are Needed to Help Make Internet and Independent Film History by Supporting the Secular Student Alliance by Watching the Award-Winning Movie - HEART of the BEHOLDER - Online for FREE.

HEART of the BEHOLDER is based on a true story of religious censorship, intolerance, and political corruption.

HEART of the BEHOLDER was written, produced, directed, and funded by Freethinkers around the world.

HEART of the BEHOLDER has won more Best Feature Film awards than any other independent movie - Ever.

Distributors agree that HEART of the BEHOLDER is a very good movie with a riveting and timely story, superb acting, and production values much higher than the actual budget.

But those same distributors complain that the subject is too controversial for them to risk putting up their own money to promote a movie that might piss off the religious right.

However, several distributors love HEART of the BEHOLDER and want to distribute it IF we can create a buzz on the Internet by getting 1 Million people to watch our movie online for FREE.

HEART of the BEHOLDER is the first feature film to be serialized on the Internet into small easy-to-watch episodes in our FREE Web Theater at Metacafe.com

HEART of the BEHOLDER is divided into four sections:

Behind-the-Scenes News and Production Videos
Our Complete Movie
Our Complete Movie with Producers Commentary
Miscellaneous other Production Videos

There are a total of 166 short videos and Metacafe pays us one half penny for every video that is viewed by anyone around the world. (One half penny equals .005 cents or $1 dollar for every 200 views)

As soon as we get at least 3,000 supporters to sign this petition saying that they will do their best to watch our videos and to spread the word about our Web Theater, then we will launch a promotion that could earn the Secular Student Alliance a very large donation.

Here are the details -

We are trying to get the views on all of our videos as high as possible before we launch our Meet the Cast of THE SIMPSONS Free Sweepstakes on January 1, 2008.

If we can get at least 3,000 people to support the Secular Student Alliance and HEART of the BEHOLDER by signing this petition, then we will immediately launch a promotion that would run until midnight on December 31, 2007.

This promotion will earn the SSA a donation of .002 cents for every view of the 166 videos. In simpler terms, the SSA will earn a donation of $1 for every 500 views. Because of the viral video effect, it is possible to generate a large number of views around the world in a very short time.

Recently we tested a video promotion technique given to us by Metacafe that increases the views exponentially. We had members of our Online Fan Club watch this video -

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/768959/hotb_movie_18_marcis_very_dark_secret/

In just a few days the video had gone from a few thousand views to over 250,000 views. As of Oct. 30th, the views are now over 337,000.

If our SSA promotion was in effect for this video, then a donation of $674 would have been generated. (337,000 views multiplied by .002 = $674)

$674 times 166 videos could have earned a donation to SSA of $111,884.

That is the power of the viral video effect and it is all FREE to the viewers.

The Secular Student Alliance and HEART of the BEHOLDER is asking for your support. As soon as we get at least 3,000 people to sign this pledge of support, then we will launch the promotion with a link to a special web page that will explain everything and make it easy to watch the videos in the best order.

All my best,
Darlene Lieblich
Life-Long Freethinker
