    There's a new independent hip-hop documentary that just came out called Down Here NTZ-601. The documentary is based around a town called Natchez, Mississippi and portrays their story as well as what they're doing to overcome their obstacles.

    The project was produced independently, and the DVD comes with a Compilation album featuring music from the local artists.

    Check it out at http://www.DownHereDVD.com

    Thanks for checking it out, and I'm glad you liked the trailer!

    I helped with the production of the film as well as the marketing and design for the website and dvd packaging.

    That's cool. So how are you planning on marketing it and getting it out?

    I've worked on 4 indie films.

    We've done a lot of word-of-mouth promotion, flyer handouts, and get a lot of type-in traffic to the website. We've also done some video promotion, social network marketing, and plan on printing ads in hip hop magazines in the future. We might even enter it into some film festivals later on.
