Very interesting about the dot net trend. My guess is those sites chose the lesser of evils because somebody wanted too much money for the URL. gijoe (also has dot com, by the way)

Hope you had a great shoot with Lloyd! He's a grandmaster. One of the most profitable filmmakers of all time. :-)

I dont know, they may have, but when we made the choice of .net, it was because it seems many film companies are making the switch to .net now, like -www.fastandfuriousmovie.net,www.grindhousemovie.net,www.ghostridermovie.net,
www.gijoemovie.net,www.sonypictures.net,serenitymovie.net,streetfightermovie.net, etc
I think its becoming the norm now, as .com days are fading.
On a side note, Lloyd Kaufman of Troma Films is making a cameo now in our film :) We shoot his scene on Monday

Great that you're getting support from your wife! Didn't know Raimi used .net Very interesting. My hunch is they lost traffic that way, but maybe I'm wrong. Please do add me to your mailing list when it's up. And if there's anything you want to bounce off me let me know. Happy to help.

I found sewerchewer.com was already in use by a movie review website, and upon investigation found that .net is being more commonly used by film websites than .org or .tv etc, and about $10 a month cheaper than sewerchewermovie.com, so we went with that. All those $5 and $10 extra charges add up when your fitting the bill for your own flick. I figure .net was good enough for Raimi's Drag Me to Hell and Romero's films so why not?
Still learning as we go. Mailing list feature will be added very soon, I'm working my wife to death with the website.

Hey Jack,

Your movie looks likes fun! Do u have a mailing list? I followed you on twitter but a mailing list would be much more powerful for you. And why did you choose to got with ".net" instead of "sewerchewermovie.com" ?

Good title, by the way!

:-)

Yes actually, my 2nd feature, Sewer Chewer. Its been quite the learning experience. We were featured on the local news this week after one of our props was forgotten during break down and someone found it the next day and called the polcie. Ended up getting some really good publicity off it. www.sewerchewer.net , its being reworked right now but keep visiting the site, it should be fully running by the end of the weekend.
