“To Save a Life” was distributed theatrically by Samuel Goldwyn in January 2010.  The film opened on 450 screens nationwide and shocked industry insiders by ranking fifth in per screen average just behind several large studio films including “Avatar”, “Legion”, and “Book of Eli”.   The movie tripled its modest production budget opening weekend.  Film critic Gary Goldstein of the LA Times wrote, “The teen drama ‘To Save a Life’, nicely directed by Brian Baugh…manages to be appealing, poignant and inspiring in ways that are gentle and quite real.”

During those first few weeks the film was ranked #1 in the Fandango fan rating section, earned an ‘A’ rating on Yahoo movies, and added thousands of Facebook fans.  The DVD was released in August of 2010 by Sony and has strong user reviews of 4.5 out of 5 on Amazon, 4.1 of 5 on Netflix, and 4.9 of 5 at Walmart.  The movie also did well internationally in Brazil, South Africa and parts of Asia.

Perhaps the most rewarding aspect of the movie has been the touching response from thousands of people who have posted on the website of how the film has impacted their lives.  These stories can be read at:  www.tosavealifemovie.com/stories
