Here’s a cool little story that ties in with a competition. I wrote a post ages ago (in blog years AKA … about a month ago) about the great poster for ‘Old Joy’ a small little arthouse flick with Will Oldham and Daniel London in. I love great poster art and the ‘Old Joy’ poster had particularly caught my eye so I wrote about it. Subsequently the guardian film blog did a little piece about good poster art and referenced what I’d written.

So about two weeks ago I got an email from the people at Soda Pictures (the UK distributors) saying two things; 1. would I like some posters and dvds to give away as prizes on the blog.. answer… hell yes; and 2. that because of what I’d written and the post on the guardian blog the poster and several other iterations that were produced by All city media would be on the dvd as an extra feature. Solace influenced a dvd extra. That is cool as hell. fact.

This is open to UK residents only i’m afraid…. sorry international friends

OK so I have 3 Old Joy posters (pictured above, so you can see above roughly how big it is) and 3 dvds to give away together (each winner will receive a poster and a copy of Old Joy on dvd). All you have to do is answer this piss easy question…

- What is Will Oldham’s stage name

send the answer in an email to competition@solaceincinema.com and put ‘old joy’ in the subject line.

The winners names will be chosen at Random on Monday the 23rd of April, the same day that the dvd is released…
