PAUL CAMPBELL meets RULA BROWN on SULTRY SUNDAY SLOW JAMZ to talk about his new movie "JAMAICAN MAFIA" on Sunday, July 27, 2014 at 3-7pm ET on www.RulaBrownNetwork.com. The 3 mins trailer of the movie received over 100,000 views & 1,467 shares on the Facebook page, "BringBackOurJamaica"

Award winning actor, Paul Campbell stars in Jamaican Mafia

Since the release of a 53-second teaser in March of this year, many have been waiting with bated breath for the release of the official trailer for the original movie, Jamaican Mafia. Well, the wait is over, and the trailer is now available for viewing viaYouTube.

Unlike the release of the teaser, which was also uploaded to YouTube, organisers decided to debut the trailer via social media and made the announcement on their official Facebook page.

When questioned on this decision, co-producer Orville Matherson said it was a no-brainer.

"Our fans have been loyal to us on Facebook, so it was only natural. Besides, we are in the social-media age, so there's no better way of creating a buzz about the trailer than on social media," he said.

Users were encouraged to log on to the movie's official Facebook page, where they were given a link to view the video on YouTube.

Since its release, the three-minute-long trailer has amassed more than 8,000 views. Mattherson told The Sunday Gleaner that since last Wednesday, he has had positive feedback on the film. Based on these reactions, the co-producer expects the film to do extremely well both locally and internationally.

"I'm confident that this movie will win numerous awards and it will go all the way to the top," he said.

Anxious viewers may not have long to wait before they see the film in its entirety, as the official release date is fast approaching. In the coming months, producers will be turning the wheels on the promotional bus a bit faster, as the highly anticipated movie is set for an August debut.

Additionally, several tour dates have been set as the film is expected to be shown in cities across the United States. The tour kicks off on August 8 and will run until September 2, making stops in New York, Boston, Miami, Washington, and Atlanta.

A local premiere is also in the pipeline.
