To Save A Life...

Movie Synopsis

Ever since Jake Taylor was a kid, he was the type of guy you couldn't help but like. For Jake, life is good. He has a ton of friends, a basketball scholarship, a hot girlfriend and a really bright future. Not much to get down about, right?

Enter Roger Dawson. He was Jake's childhood best friend before Jake's growing popularity pushed him out. Tired of not fitting in and having a place to belong, Roger walks onto campus and , with a gun in his pocket and pain in his heart, makes a tragic move.

Jake is devastated by what Roger has done, and something in him changes. In seeking answers in his own life, one question plagues him the most: Could I have saved him? He finds himself deeply compelled to reach out to kids on the fringe - kids who aren't viewed as cool enough. But this decision, among other things, threatens Jake's world. He may lose his friends, his scholarship and even his reputation by asking, "What do I want my life to be about?"

 

What People Are Saying About It

One of the many things I love about the movie To Save A Life is how it portrays in a very real [non-cheesy] way the different pressures teenagers face. It opens doors for students to talk with trusted leaders on where they see themselves in the story.”
—Doug Fields, Founder: Simply Youth Ministry & Author: Purpose Driven Youth Ministry

“This generation of teenagers wants to make a difference, but they are bogged down by the most pervasive and life-threatening influences of any previous generation. To Save A Life is a wake-up call for all teenagers to the fact that they are on this earth to give help and hope to their friends.”
—Ron Luce, President of Teen Mania

“An Excellent Film. This film is relevant and thought provoking. It is effective at developing a contrast of ideas with today’s culture.”
—Josh McDowell, Speaker & Author

“To Save A Life portrays timely issues for today’s teens. Youth workers, parents, and teachers should definitely capitalize on this opportunity to take teens to the theater. Riveting conversations will follow.”
—Craig Detweiler, Director Reel Spirituality Institute & Associate Professor Fuller Theological Seminary

“Really one of my favorite movies. That’s probably because it feels like the world I know - the world high schoolers live in. It gives us a voice. I hope every student goes to see it and takes friends with them.”
—Zach Hunter, Teen Author and Speaker

Sponsoring a night of TO SAVE A LIFE

Help us spread the word about this thought provoking film that is relevant for every teenagers life!

We are encouraging youth groups (church, school, social, friends, teams, squads, etc) to help us spread the word about this movie by sponsoring a night of TO SAVE A LIFE.  Here's how it will work!

We are currently working on confirming our opening date for this film.  We anticipate it starting on Friday February 19th or 26th. 

Step 1:  Call Nancy Jo Smith to schedule your movie date.  Your group may choose a Sunday through Thursday to sponsor the film.  We will start taking scheduled sponsorship dates February 5th, 2010.

Step 2:  Spread the word!  Sponsorship is really about you getting the message out that the movie is at Marketplace Cinema, and encouraging your friends, family & peers to see it!  Your group will pass out flyers, use Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, text, call, email, and tell your friends about the movie.  On your sponsorship night they need to mention your group when purchasing a ticket.  For every ticket sold that mentions your group, you will receive 10% of ticket sales!  However, please note that you may not promote the movie on premises.  The purpose of this is for your group to encourage those that would not attend on their own to come and see this movie.  When you spread the word, you just need to make sure they know to mention your group.

Step 3:  To raise a little extra money for your group, we will donate a $15 Movie Gift Card, 4 Movie Passes, and 4 Concession Coupons for Free Concessions for a lobby raffle.  You may sell raffle tickets for 50 cents each in our lobby the day you sponsor the film.  All proceeds will be yours!  Your group needs to provide all the necessary items for coordinating this raffle, with the exception of the prizes we will donate.  You may collect additional raffle items from other sources and raffle those if you wish.

For more information, or to schedule a sponsorship date please call Nancy Jo Smith at 252-438-3892.  There are still some dates available for sponsorship!

Thank you!
