SHADOWCATCHER ENTERTAINMENT SWEEPSTAKES:
WIN A TRIP FOR TWO TO GOA, INDIA Purchasers of Outsourced DVD automatically entered to win ShadowCatcher Entertainment, the Seattle-based company that produced and is currently distributing its critically acclaimed feature film, Outsourced, is giving away a trip for two to the famous beach resort town of Goa, India. As part of its online promotion for the film, ShadowCatcher is running the contest from the website, www.outsourcedthemovie.com. By simply purchasing the Outsourced DVD online, contestants are automatically entered to win the trip valued at over $5,000, which includes airfare and four nights a luxury hotel for two. The trip is sponsored by the Seattle travel company, Justfares.com. Goa is located on the west coast of India and enjoys a worldwide reputation for its lush environs and tropical beaches. The location also relates to the Outsourced story, in which the lead characters discuss a "holiday in Goa." ShadowCatcher Entertainment has also partnered with singing telegram service, Taj Tunes, by offering visitors to the Outsourced website a chance to invite their friends on a trip to Goa. "By giving away a trip to India, we are promoting Outsourced by encouraging our audience to visit a beautiful place in an extraordinary country," said Executive Producer, David Skinner. With the heart of a true independent film and the look of a big-budget Hollywood production, Outsourced is the story of Todd Anderson (Josh Hamilton), a call center manager for a Seattle novelty company, which has suddenly outsourced his entire department to India. To keep his job, Todd is sent halfway around the world to train his replacement and turn a partially constructed "fulfillment center," filled with enthusiastic young Indians, into a model of corporate efficiency. What Todd least expects is that the seemingly inept workers, including the charming Asha (Ayesha Dharker), will not only introduce him to the mysteries of the Indian culture, but also teach him even more about his own country and ultimately himself. Conceived by director, John Jeffcoat, and co-written by Executive Producer, George Wing, Outsourced is inspired by Jeffcoat's own experiences traveling in Nepal and India. Said Jeffcoat, "I think the story resonates with people because it showcases the humor that comes with a clash of cultures, while showing how transformative an experience that can be." Outsourced has won numerous audience awards including the John Schlesinger Award for Outstanding First Feature at the 2007 Palm Springs International Film Festival and the Audience Award for Best Picture at the Seattle International Film Festival.
