Hi, it’s Thiago from FOX Searchlight. Following is the Art work from the movie and also the link for the website of the movie, where you can find the trailer and a synopsis. So, we had in mind to have the poets write a poem about summer, or anything that has to do with the movie, which is a romantic-comedy. During the meeting you could choose the best poem and the writer will win VIP Seating at the screening (July 9 at Regal Waterford Lakes), a prize pack, and he/she may also read the poem before the screening starts.

All I need is for you to include me in the e-mail you send out about the poetry night, the link for the website where you will put the art work and the announcement, and also the number of people attending the poetry night, but I’m not sure I will be able to send you the exact number of tickets.

I also need to ask you to PLEASE send me a few pictures of the poetry night, people receiving the tickets, posters hung on the wall, the best poem receiving the prize pack, etc. Anything you can take pictures of is appreciated.

Thank you very much,
