Please help bring Return to Zero to theaters!

Dear Friends & Family, 

As you may already know, I have volunteered to be a "local leader" to promote the new film, Return to Zero. This film, starring Minnie Driver, is the first ever created with stillbirth as its central theme. The writers/producers have created a beautiful and touching film that will change how people view stillbirth and the effect it has on parents, relationships, families, and communities. The story is very similar to ours. A happy couple loses their child right before he's supposed to be born and they must overcome their grief to save their relationship and build a family together.

As a local leader, I am spreading the word to help bring this film to theaters. While the film will be shown at many popular film festivals, the writers/producers have to "prove" that there is an audience large enough to justify bringing it to theaters. This is where YOU can help! Below is a link to make a "pledge" to see this film when it is released. You are not being asked to pledge money, just to pledge to see the film opening weekend (which has yet to be determined). The goal is to have 150,000 signatures by June 20th. Your signature will help bring the film to theaters and provide an avenue of healing for many.

Here are some thoughts from the writer/producer's wife:

"I think this film is turning out to be an opportunity for healing. I never connected with any support groups after losing our son, but now I am seeing the similarities in experiences with others who have lost babies, and I don't feel so alone. I am now committed to bringing awareness and education to the community so that change can happen. I hope you too will find connection with others that will help you heal."

*Please list me, Emily Werner, as your local leader (even if you don't live near me, it helps RTZ track how you heard about the film!)

By pledging to see Return to Zero in theaters on opening weekend when it shows in your community, you will prove to Hollywood that that there is an audience for a film about this difficult, but important, subject matter.

In their memory!
