thoughts on marketing

1. as u probably seen there is the invitation item on the benefits list, so if this works as gmail it will allow us to control the users status (keep them students or at least amateurs) and also promote the word-of -mouth promotion.

2. give a number of invitation to top academic tutors of the top film school in uk that will allow whoever is invited to jump directly to a higher user status

3. organize university events that again will give second level status to a certain number of attendants

4.stickers, tshirts, directors blocks and other below the line merchandise for promotion

need revise
