I work for a company called SnagFilms that allows audiences to watch award-winning documentaries online for free, help support filmmakers and donate to groups that work on issues like implementing solar energy systems in developing countries. We have a film called FIGHTING GOLIATH: TEXAS COAL WARS, a Robert Redford narrated documentary that tells the story of farmers, ranchers and Mayors fighting against the construction of 18 new coal-burning power plants in Texas. I would like to invite you to pick up the SnagFilms widget for this film and share it with your audience by creating a virtual movie theater on your blog.<BR/><BR/>We have scoured the web for sites we think cover with excellence the topics that are also the focus of some of our films. There is a natural fit with your site, so we would like to invite you to open one of the first SnagFilms theaters. These widgets will help you attract and retain users, but they also benefit the community. By showcasing this growing library of inspirational films, you will support an independent filmmaker and vital causes, while also increasing the time spent on your blog by your readers, and adding another reason for new readers to visit. <BR/><BR/>Movies like these have the powerful ability to speak to readers in ways that other types of widgets cannot. Many industry analysts increasingly point to multimedia widgets as a powerful way to engage users. By adding our widget to your site, you can:<BR/>1. Heighten user interaction and time spent on your site<BR/>2. Generate buzz<BR/>3. Reach a larger audience<BR/>4. Promote a unique service to your community.<BR/><BR/>The SnagFilms movie player does not require a desktop download, but instead efficiently streams the films. All expenses, including streaming costs, are covered by SnagFilms and there is no additional load on your servers. You need only provide the pixels and we take care of the rest.<BR/><BR/>We have some pretty audacious goals – we believe we can preserve and strengthen independent filmmaking; we think we can use the democracy of the web to build stronger communities; and we know we can enrich a great number of websites with what is normally the most costly content: professional, compelling films. There are less than 500 theaters in the US that show indie films even occasionally – with your help, we’ll have over 1 million virtual theaters open 24X7. You can lead the way. <BR/><BR/>I hope you’ll consider adding FIGHTING GOLIATH: TEXAS COAL WARS to your site.

Feel free to email me with any questions.<BR/><BR/>Best regards,<BR/>Richard MatsonRichardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17905618061111538984noreply@blogger.com
