Reuters: “Batten down the hatches — the hipsters are coming”

Reuters has posted an article broadly about the indie movie industry including some of the marketing behind 500 Days of Summer.

“This movie [500 Days of Summer] is particularly challenging to put forward in a 30-second spot or even a two-minute trailer,” says Fox Searchlight president Nancy Utley.

The specialty division has thus staged a remarkably prolific screening campaign. Since its Sundance premiere, the movie has traveled to 28 festivals and played 215 word-of-mouth screenings. Searchlight also staged a six-city June 21 giveaway of food and other merchandise at retailers, watching as Twitter and Facebook fueled the events’ popularity.
