My Big Fat Greek Wedding
In early April, 2002, VCI was sent the movie trailer and asked to market this movie to the American mainstream community through the Greek-American audience. Within the next month, VCI and Trinity Family Services staged over fourteen movie premieres in North American cities, and saturated all Greek-American organizations with fliers, poster, and trailers, creating the groundswell that was the basis for the highest grossing independent movie of all-time.
