How the heck do you program trailers for a graphic 'R' rated Christian film? I'm in a small market that does not get many limiteds and I hate to promote what I won't get.

you try to find out from your booker as far ahead what films you may be playing and run the trailers for what you know you will be getting. Saves a lot of hassel in the long run.

It's enclosed with prints of Monster for the expansion on 1/23. A graphic Christian movie trailer for a graphic film about a lesbian serial killer. If we were booked to show the movie, I'd play it on 21 Grams, In America, Girl With A Pearl Earring, and Cooler. It would probably also be appropriate for Calendar Girls, Somethings Gotta Give (aka Jack and Diane), House of Sand and Fog, etc. I saw it on a Calendar Girls print at a UA in the East Bay and it fit in just fine. The trailer isn't graphic at all.
