Our distributor Guerilla Films is pioneering a unique way of releasing the film. Instead of limping out in the cinema, followed by DVD, then TV and then trying to find distributors in each country around the world it will be launched online worldwide on 1^st January at 12.01am making it the very first new work based on a work of Charles Dickens to come out in his bicentenary year.

This will platform on this site, The Dickens Fellowship website and over thirty other sites around the world.

The film will also be the first feature film financed, cast, crewed AND distributed via Facebook. You can visit the A CHRISTMAS CAROL Facebook page from 1^st January 2012 and rent it direct from that page – ground breaking and we Irish are the first !  Éirinn go Brách
