Columbus, Oh., January 20, 2003 - 7M Pictures kicks off the New Year by announcing its first contest, The 7M Bachelor Freak Out. The ongoing contest started on January 20, 2003 when a short film was released on www.7mpictures.com, which explains the contest details.
With the popularity of reality shows like ABC's The Bachelor and FOX's Joe Millionaire, 7M Pictures has decided to make its President John Mader the object of viewers’ affections. “I’m everything a true bachelor is,” says Mader. “I drink alone at home surrounded by a collection of Hustler magazines, watching ESPN in my underwear while living on a diet of beer and junk food.”
7M Pictures is asking people to send in a video explaining why they should be picked as the 7M Pictures “Bachelor’s Mate”. “We just want people to be creative and have fun,” says Mader. “So it doesn’t matter what people look like, what their race is, or even their sex. Males and females alike can enter. We have no restrictions, other than we ask that people keep it legal.”
Winners will be incorporated into the cyberseries The 7M Bachelor Freak Out on www.7mpictures.com. “This is a great way for people to show how creative and funny they are,” says Mader. “Our web site is viewed by hundreds of thousands of people around the world, including many production companies. Our web site is a great place for exposure.”
The submissions should be mailed to:
“The 7M Bachelor Freak Out,”
c/o 7M Pictures
P.O. Box 340481
