Welcome!

On behalf of the team, welcome to the How To Be Promotional Blitz site!

Let us tell you about the site.  Initiated by tMF (the Movie-Fanatic), this promotional site is the work of volunteers who aim to provide a much-needed buzz for filmmakers Oliver Irving and Justin Kelly initial movie offering, How To Be.

With a cast that includes Robert Pattinson, Rebecca Pidgeon, Jeremy Hardy, Johnny White Mike Pearce and Powell Jones, the movie is a comedy about Arthur, a twenty something who moves back in with his parents, hits a quarter-life crisis and enlists the help of a self-help guru.  It's a timely look at the increasingly common phenomena of grown-up children living at home, frustrated creativity and self help.

In the Independent Film world, we know that sometimes these wonderful films don't always get the recognition and distribution they deserve. However, in doing a little research I found that occasionally fans can help remedy this.

How, you ask? It could be as simple as clicking 'send' on an email. Oh! Well look here...a letter, already drafted up and itching to be sent to movie theatres and film distributors... [ read more ]

A review of How To Be's latest screening in Austin.
Written by Laura Owens   
Thursday, 30 October 2008 00:00
We know what a success How To Be has been on the film festival circuit. Austin's Film Festival was no exception. They sold-out the first two screenings, and in its last days added a third. Laura Owens, who was also an audience member for the Saturday screening and one of the lucky ones who got to meet Robert Pattinson, attended this last showing of How To Be at the Austin Film Festival.

A third screening of How to Be was arranged for Monday night at a different theater. The sound was much improved. The dialogue stood out and we caught so many lines that we had missed before. It's hard to give details without spoilers. But you hear Art's social miscues more and you ache for his awkwardness. His family and friends blatant ignoring of his existence and existential plight is so saddening.
The lyrics of the songs are very revealing, so I was glad to hear them all. And my favorite line of the film is still the lyric "The world is a symphony of sarcastic lust." The line "your existence is an oxymoron" became a huge motif in the film as we watched it the second time....

Exclusive Review from Saturday's screening at the Austin Film Festival
Written by Shandra Wilkinson   
Wednesday, 22 October 2008 00:00

The screenings of How To Be at the Austin Film Festival, three of them in total, were a hit! Especially this past Saturday's screening when we all know Robert Pattinson made a guest appearance. Many were dazzled by his presence, and Shandra here was no exception. She has, however, given us a wonderful report from her experience seeing the film and being present for Rob's appearance. Let's see what she has to share with us!

The buzz around the Austin Film Festival was electric on Saturday night! Everyone seemed very excited about the screening for “How To Be” starring Rob Pattinson. We spent over 7 hours in line waiting to get into the theater for the film. My group of friends was first in line for the Film Pass holders and we were pretty excited to have that spot. It was a VERY long day but now that I look back it seemed to pass so quickly....
