Host a cinematic tea party with a “Tea Time Sneak Peak”

TEA PARTY: The Documentary Film releases direct to DVD this Thanksgiving Day at www.TeaPartyMovie.com. The film follows the struggles of five grassroots individuals and their transformation from home town rally-goers and rally organizers to national activists in the 912 March on Washington. In the process, they reveal what is at the heart of this nationwide surge of civic engagement: a call for a return to Constitutionally limited government, personal responsibility and fiscal restraint at the Federal level.

Host a “sneak peak” of the rough cut of the movie between Nov 2nd and Nov 26th at a house party, church, school, club or other venue. For more details on hosting a cinematic tea party, call Joel Aaron Foster at (678) 910-3101 or info@teapartymovie.com.
