Upcoming Film Unites With Kids To Stop Underage Smoking

Spidey Girl, an independent film currently in its pre-production phase has teamed up with its sponsor, DogCat Radio to promote anti-smoking awareness for kids. The effort is being executed via a nation-wide essay contest for ages 11-17, and three chosen winners will receive a small speaking role in the film. The essay prompts its contributers to focus on the ways kids can discourage their friends from smoking, fitting for a film about a 13-year old girl fighting neighborhood crimes of independent and underage cigarette solicitation.

Spokesperson Steve Burdeaux notes, "This movie tackles the issue of kids smoking. Hopefully this film, ins ome way, can help create a generation of non-smokers."
The contest's winners will be awarded a trip to and tour of Hollywood, dinner with the crew, their promised appearance, and complimentary tickets to Sunset Strip's Mann's Chinese Theatre, after their notification on February 29th.

DogCat Radio, the official sponsor, is considered the nation's premier radio station for pet lovers and pets, alike, having received positive recognition from the New York Times and PETA. Their link and further information on their involvement in the campaign can be found at http://www.dogcatradio.com/. The teaser trailer for Spidey Girl, whose projected release date is August 2008, may be found at http://www.dogcatradio.com/spidey.htm.
A short teaser clip of the film is offered:

Ultimately, this partnership campaign appears a practical and optomistic effort on the part of a low-budget production company advocating corporate ethics and a radio station that is built around the humane adoration of animals. In terms of interests in this project, their cross-involvement is unrelated, however, in the long run they are dually invested in progressive and moralistic pursuits, rendering a reasonable partnership. It seems appropriate that the trusted listeners of DogCat Radio may also have an interest in engaging their children in the connected campaign. The essay contest seems a noble and properly interwoven practice and a feasibly stimulating means of gaining the attention of youth in an upcoming film that might otherwise struggle for publicity.
