Every August the LDS Booksellers Association holds a convention in Utah so that LDS bookstores from all over the world can come and see what new products are available.  This year the convention was held at the South Towne Expo in Sandy, Utah and Mark Arnett was ready for them.  “I decided that the best thing I could do was to rent a banquette room at the convention and show my film,” Mark recounts.  

Mark’s gamble paid off.  Sounds Of Zion™ loved Baby Boomerang, quickly agreed to distribute the film, and began taking orders for shipment in September or October (the release date is still being discussed).  Mark was delighted to join up with the distributor of such classic LDS films as The SIngles Ward, Sons Of Provo, and The Best Two Years.

Also among those who attended the private screening of Baby Boomerang was Deseret News reporter, Carma Wadley.  Carma was so impressed by Baby Boomerang that she came back the following day with a photographer and interviewed Mark for about a half hour.  She plans to run a piece on the film in conjunction with the bookstore release.  “I couldn’t ask for a better reception from the LDS market,” Mark states gratefully and with a sense of relief.

Baby Boomerang should start shipping to bookstores shortly and will retail at a new price of only $14.98.  Mark is now selling online at $14.98 as well.

NEXT:  Mark heads off to Europe next week for the International Christian Film Festival in Barry, South Wales where Baby Boomerang has been nominated for “Best Documentary USA.”
