Write to the Oprah and tell them about Saardu. If Oprah mentions this in her magazine, recommends it to her book club, or interviews the author on her show, it will get things moving very quickly!
Watch the YouTube video and rate it and post a comment.
Write to movie studios that have produced your favorite CGI films and tell them about Saardu. You can find the production companies by searching for movie titles in the Internet Movie Database (IMDb.com) and they usually include producers' websites in the contact info.
