“The Goal” is released on DVD
Denver independent film is released
nationally on DVD
For Immediate Release October 19, 2006
Contact: Nicole Allen, PR Director (720) 435-5138
Denver—Local filmmaker, Darla Rae’s feature film which she
wrote, directed, and produced, “The Goal,” was released
nationally on DVD on October 10, 2006 by Maverick Entertainment.
Maverick officially purchased the distribution rights to the
film for United States and international DVD and television on
May 31, 2006.
“The Goal,” which can be rented at “Blockbuster”, and purchased
online at Blockbuster, Barnes and Noble, Circuit City, and Best
Buy, started out twelve years ago as a way to tell the story of
how a friend became a quadriplegic and how he overcame adversity
through wheelchair rugby and has become an inspiring story for
many. It also has the potential to raise awareness about
quadriplegics as well as a fundraiser for them. Some of the
profits from “The Goal” will be put into a fund to build a
facility in the Colorado region for all wheelchair athletes.
“I couldn’t believe what I saw when I walked into Blockbuster
the other day to rent a movie, and right there on the shelf were
two spaces for my film and one of the spaces was empty. I think
it is so cool to think that maybe even as I am saying this, that
someone is at home watching the film that I made. My dream
really has come true.” said Rae.
Rae is still in awe over the big things that have happened to
her movie. The film has won three awards, been bought for
television and DVD distribution, released on DVD, and played
limited release screenings in Denver and Houston. Future
theatrical releases include Michigan Rae said,” I always knew
that this would be a good film, but I never realized how big it
could truly be. I feel very blessed.”
Although “The Goal” was released nationally on DVD, copies of
the film can be purchased on the “The Goal” website at
www.thegoal-film.com. More information about wheelchair rugby
can be found on the website as well.
