Never Stop Chasing
A storm-chasing documentary opening across 110 theaters in 30 states — a wide footprint for a narrow audience. The campaign was built around the theaters rather than the markets, with streaming TV and online video running full screen and non-skippable, and one creator, whose audience already followed storm chasing rather than film in general, carrying the New York premiere.
When the film held over in four cities, the buy was rebuilt rather than left to finish as booked and re-pointed at the theaters still playing. The creator delivered eight placements against four contracted.

Max Velocity (@MaxVelocityWX) is a meteorologist, not a film reviewer — his audience already followed storm chasing. SMG sourced and contracted him, and brought him to the New York premiere. He posted across X and Facebook on premiere night and again on opening day, and Reed Timmer amplified him on his own channels. Eight placements ran against four contracted, returning 968,000 views.
Paid posts on X, and earned coverage from the film’s subject on his own channel.
