THANK YOU ALL!!! ***info on entries***

The team cannot even begin to explain how exciting this is. You guys have #youdontknowbeliebersthemovie trending world wide for 8 hours, and at number one for almost 4 hours! THANK YOU ALL!! Also, Fredo tweeted the movie! You should all be so proud. We couldn't have done it without you.

With that said, this project has grown HUGE in the last 24 hours. You guys are filling our inbox faster than we can read/file away entries. If you are getting an error message stating that the mailbox is full, please email your entires to the following: youdontknowbeliebersthemovie@gmail.com.

Also, NO ONE IS BEING CUT OUT! These are rumors. If you do not hear it from the team, it is not true. So pleas read the FAQs page. All the info you need is on there.

The deadline for the first task has been reached but there will be more very soon. So please just be patient while we catch up with everything. We will be back on track by the end of the weekend.

Again, thank you all so much. We love you all : )

What is this movie?

So we decided to try and get a trend today, and getting Number 1 is something we NEVER expected. We want to thank all of you for your amazing words, and spreading the trend around, because without you guys, this wouldn't be possible. We just want to make a quick post, giving a general overview of the movie, and answering some questions.

Yes, this movie is legit. We have been making this since November 2012, and the plan has been with the creator - Shaniqua - since 2010. However, this isn't a huge blockbuster movie that will be featured in all theaters. This movie is something we've created just to give everyone an idea of Beliebers in real life. We've been hated so much, we get trolls making up things, even the press, and most of it is just a minority letting us down. Now we want to put the story straight, and this is how we'll do it.

No, we're not all 9 year olds talking about how amazing Jerry is. The teams ages range from 14-23. Anyone can take part. We're going to highlight a huge range of things. This is like how Justin has saved our lives, his music, watching his YouTube videos, friends we've made ect. 

Again, anyone can take part. Age, race, height, gender, nationality and anything else doesn't matter. As long as you're a Belieber, you can join in.

We want this to be the best fun for everyone. We don't want people to hate us for this, and we don't want you to be embarrassed. But, please, trust us because we're trying our best to make this movie the most legit, nicest, funniest, amazingest (not a word but oh well) thing in the World. 

All the proceeds will be going towards curing ATRT - which is what Avalanna battled with before we unfortunately lost her. This isn't for our benefit, we're doing this to help others, and what better way than to put our point across whilst doing so? 

We hope you can join, and we want you to know that this is legit. Thank you. We love you.

- The YDKB Team.

The weekend is coming!

I just checked my phone and there are currently 100 unread messages in the movie inbox. Again, I work full-time, other girls are in school, other girls are sleeping because it's 2AM where they are. Everyone will be answered by tomorrow afternoon, if not by the end of today. We understand that it's annoying waiting for a response, but as we've stated many times before no one is being cut out! Your entry simply gives us your basic info, a way to get in contact with you, and a geographic idea of how many people are in each region. Just because you haven't received an email doesn't mean we do not want you. Just means we haven't reviewed it yet. Also for the people that applied on the blog please also email us if you have not.

APRIL 11TH!!! For any of you that aren't part of our FB event, on April 11th we are going to try our best to trend #CONTACTyoudontknowbeliebers . I'll post the details on here when the time gets closer. Getting this to trend is a HUGE step in the right direction and we want to make it happen.

If you haven't checked out the Believe Ticket Project on Twitter, please do. One of our team members, Ines, helps out with this. It's an awesome project that gives away Believe tickets to deserving fans. I actually just went on Twitter and saw she's helping out another project promote. This girl is great and wants to help everyone - go follow her on Twitter @WawBeliebers.

I am running a half marathon in June. I am trying to raise as much money as possible for AT/RT (for Avalanna) so if you would like to donate or help me promote this please send an email to info@youdontknowbeliebersthemovie.com subject "1/2 Marathon".

A few people have reached out to us about volunteer work they are doing. We will work on updating the website to help them promote their causes. If you have an idea for a fundraiser or charity work, leave a comment below. We would love to help.

A new way to go about this.

We will blog to the best of our ability to give you updates. First, we need to discuss something real quick.

So, you all have a lot of questions. WE UNDERSTAND! But please, please, please do not get annoyed with us. There are only 11 of us and we are scattered across the world. Just so you guys get an idea of the work load that the 11 of us are trying to handle right now...
· We have hundreds (if not a thousand) entry forms to sort through - currently 75 unread entry forms have come over in the last 3 hours
· We can't communicate that easily - we are in different time zones so for us all to discuss something is not as easy as you may think so sometimes we may need to wait a few hours until we hear from one another.
· We are promoting nonstop meaning that Twitter, emails, social networking are taking up a large portion of our time right now. There can’t be a movie if no one knows about it right?!? PROMOTE PROMOTE PROMOTE (yes you reading this, go on Twitter right now and tweet J )
· We have to file, edit, organize pics, videos, meet ups, any and everything you can imagine to ensure everything stays on track to be completed on time.
· We are trying to live our daily lives on top of this project. Some of us have school, work full-time, have prior engagements (CHECK OUT SHANNON’S YOUTUBE CHANNEL!!!
Those are just some of the things we are working on this week, and we are just getting started. The amount this project has grown is incredible and we are beyond excited to have so many people being a part of this wonderful experience. #BELIEBERFAMILY

While the website does have newsletters and event information, we will try our best to give you a daily update. BEFORE SPAMMING US, PLEASE READ TO MAKE SURE YOUR QUESTION IS NOT ALREADY ANSWERED! I cannot stress enough how difficult it is to manage hundreds of emails, documents, and entries on top of answering all of your questions. Most of the questions we are receiving right now have been already answered on the website. Honestly, we are already receiving hate for not being able to answer emails in the time you want. We are trying our best, I promise you that. We want this to move along just as quickly as you do. With that said I'd like to address a few common questions:
1.      NO ONE IS BEING CUT OUT - This is addressed on the website but I would like to address it again since it is constantly being asked. We are going to incorporate every person who enters in some way.
2.      If you do not receive an answer to your email in 2 days, email us again. Please do not SPAM us on Twitter or with DMs. We are not intentionally ignoring anyone, we might have just overlooked your email by accident.
3.      To get involved, fill out the answers to the questions and email them to us. "Entry Form" at the type of this blog.
4.      We are not looking for new team members but that does not mean we do not want your help. Off the top of my head I know there are people who have entered from India, Portugal, and Canada. None of our team members are located there. We would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have you been a representative for your area. If you are interested please email info@youdontknowbeliebersthemovie.com with the subject "Team Representative"
5.      Before asking "What do I have to do?" PLEASE read the website. The current task is listed there.
With that all being said, let's discuss the status of the movie. Right now all we are asking from you is to do the following: send us any concert footage or pics - anything you have that might be useful for the movie. We will keep this stuff on file. The "Current Task" is to film yourself and your reaction to Justin's first YouTube video as if it was the first time you were watching it. The deadline for this is April 12th. Please note that you do not need to do every task - you may participant in as many or as few as you would like. The length of this video does not matter. We will be editing everything on our own. Tonight, all the 70+ entries we have received in the last few hours will be responded to. For now, just sit tight and PROMOTE PROMOTE PROMOTE. Follow us all on twitter. Think we can get #youdontknowbeliebersthemovie trending? I think we should give it a try tomorrow. Tweet all day. RT everyone. Let's get Justin's team to notice what we are doing here.

Love ya all!
