The two announced screenings of How To Be in Jakarta, Indonesia at Kinokuniya Books are now completely full. Due to high demand and a very long waiting list, they have added an additional ten seats at each screening as well as a third screening date.

The third screening date is yet to be determined. Due to the number of people on the waiting lists, however, this showing and the additional seats are already full.

It is exciting to see such a demand to see the film. Enjoy the screenings!

The How To Be filmmakers sent out an update today to their mailing list, with exciting news about distribution and an upcoming festival appearance:

It has been an amazing year for How To Be. But first, let’s start with some announcements for 2009!

Well, How To Be has wrapped up a busy year of film festivals and premieres, but the director and producer of the movie are still hard at work. This update from producer Justin Kelly was posted at the Support How To Be Facebook page:

Thank you very much for your support for this film! We are working on securing distribution partners around the world. Further news will be released asap via the news letter at www.howtobemovie.com. Thanks Justin (Producer)

Hi guys, sorry we haven't posted for a while. As you can imagine, the Twilight release has made us very busy! Hope you all enjoyed their movie! We humbly submit that ours has fewer action sequences but a better soundtrack : )

How To Be will certainly be available both to download and buy on DVD. We're still figuring out the details, but we hope to make an announcement soon.

We also have some festival screenings to announce and we'll post back here when we have locations and dates.

So sorry we have nothing concrete to report, but we do read your posts and are very grateful for all your support and enthusiasm!
