Ground-breaking Pregnancy Movie 40 Weeks Premiers in Philadelphia Neighborhood
New York, NY (PRWEB) January 05, 2015
Premiering in Philadelphia, 40 Weeks, produced by Big Belli LLC, is the first documentary to follow the week-by-week journey of pregnancy, bringing the stories of a diverse group of expecting families to the screen. When Dominique Debroux, co-producer, was pregnant she couldn’t find a film that brought community and information together in an easily accessible, visual format. So director Christopher Henze, her husband, decided to make one and both Big Belli and 40 Weeks came into being.
40 Weeks’ mission is to support women with pregnancy information and virtual community so they can feel confident throughout their pregnancy to have the best possible outcomes for their babies. Dominique and Christopher are building out the bigbelli.com site to continue offering filmed content and community beyond 40 Weeks the movie with the goal to help women know there are many women out there to whom they can connect and know they’re not alone in this amazing journey.
The red carpet premiere will be held in Philadelphia on January 13th at 6pm at the Landmark Ritz East, located at 125 South 2nd Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106.
Newyorkfamily.com praises the intimacy the moms granted the filmmakers. “That, perhaps, is the film’s greatest gift,†they said. "There are many hard, difficult moments...But all of the women approach the incredible changes and challenges they are facing with strength and a sense of humor. In the end, the message is refreshing: no one has a perfect pregnancy.â€
Theatrical distribution of the film equals the ground-breaking concept of 40 Weeks itself.
Gathr.us Theatrical On Demand® is Big Belli’s distribution partner. This new approach allows a film’s audience to bring movies they like to their communities by crowdsourcing audience. It is changing film distribution nationally and bringing more women’s movies to theaters near you.
