Contacting Celebrities per Reddit (long, but important!) r/Sense8 Contacting Influencers and Celebrities, Phase II u/newthrooawayyy Dear Senates, Thank you so much for the overwhelming response to Phase I and to /u/kanda_92, /u/StariNight69, /u/CaptainGreezy, /u/mjaybe, /u/Kaffeebohnson, /u/simkaspruce, /u/rangerpax, and /u/cameron_quickdraw for adding to the list and for their contributions to organization. Thank you to /u/nosebleed22, /u/PopeJP22, /u/jesstheblessedmess, /u/MissUrchin, /u/NynaAndromeda, /u/kacypup, /u/MjSpyt777, /u/lydiasmartin, /u/kronch, /u/edwintou, /u/Mataxor, /u/404GravitasNotFound, /u/rangerpax, /u/WildRaphy, /u/jayyyemmm, /u/smpower8, /u/vajochamp, /u/mpc9, and /u/klutzkoala for contributing to the list and expressing support. If I accidentally missed anybody, know that you are also appreciated! The task at hand right now is how to organize our Twitter outreach to influencers. As a starting point, we may: Decide on a day to start the Tweet campaign.Increase our numbers by recruiting on other social media platforms dedicated to Sense8.Coordinate days to tweet at specific celebrities. We should make those who have connections to the Wachowskis and/or have already tweeted support for Sense8 in the past our biggest priority, but please post your own suggestions as well and let the Cluster decide. The list is reprinted below, and as the evening and next day goes on, I will be adding dates next to the names. Edit 1: Sensates, I am setting the tentative start date for 6/8. Each day will have one person from the Wachowski/JMS list and one person from the LGBT-friendly list from Phase I. This is to express our wish that any show revival be directed by the original creators only in order to preserve its original social and artistic vision. Please feel free to comment! From /u/StariNight69's suggestion, please repost this thread and the one before it throughout the interwebs to increase our numbers. Again, thank you so very much for all the interest! Feel free to suggest more names as well, although since we have a long list already, these will be added into the schedule for the following thirty days. ------------------------------------------------Note: Those who don't have an official page on Twitter (does not tweet) may have Twitter fanpages or other social media. Feel free to add those in as well.

If this works, this could be a big pain in the butt for Netflix, and, it'll work in true Sense8 style--by leveraging social connections! 10 newthrooawayyy • 9h Thanks! :) 2 LordAnubis10 • 8h Gotta exploit us virts! 2 AnnaAvery • 10h I think adding more LGBT friendly Youtubers would be great, they are communicating with the target audience of the show. I first watched this show because the diversity and cultural aspects seemed amazing, but stayed for the awesome sensates and plot! Here's some good Youtubers that may be good to reach out to: Bria and Chrissy: @BriaAndChrissy Gay Women Channel: @GayWomenChannel , @AgeDilonardo , @Srotella Stephanie Frosch: @ElloSteph Hart Beat: @iHartBeat @IISuperwomanII Hope this helps! 6 newthrooawayyy • 9h It definitely does! Thanks! 2 rangerpax • 9h This article compares Sense8 with Star Trek in terms of diversity and breaking down barriers (it was the first white/black kiss on television iirc). This could help with tweets to George Takei @GeorgeTakei (and could open up other Star Trek avenues as well!) 5 newthrooawayyy • 9h I'll save this post for when we tweet at him and I'll mention it in the OP later. Thank you! 3 kanda_92 • 12h Nice schedule, P.S. I noticed a lot of people are already tweeting Ellen & Gaga. 5 newthrooawayyy • 11h Great stuff! Hopefully if they retweet, it will encourage their own influencer friends to retweet in kind! 1 jayellteee • 10h Might I suggest adding Anthony Rapp (@albinokid) to the list? He's an openly gay Broadway actor (known best for the original cast and film adaptation of RENT) and will be playing a gay scientist in the new Star Trek series on CBS! I've already tweeted him about Sense8 and he said he hasn't seen the show but applauds its diversity. Hopefully he could retweet some stuff. 3 newthrooawayyy • 9h Great suggestion! Let's add him in! 1 Dlexx • 10h You should add Linda Perry@RealLindaPerry to that list. With her song playing such an important role in the series. Maybe add her wife Sara Gilbert @THEsaragilbert, too. 2 newthrooawayyy • 9h Yes, let's do that! 1 rangerpax • 9h Another thought: do check the time of day they tend to post/retweet. Tweeting during those times may yield better results... 2 newthrooawayyy • 9h Very valuable suggestion! 1 cm880 • 9h Hi guys! This sounds fantastic and thanks so much for compiling. I'll share this with our Twitter crew. Is there a specific hashtag we want to include when we Tweet them? 1 newthrooawayyy • 9h BringBackSense8 1 cm880 • 9h Got it. I'll pass along! 1 PiezStivi • 5h https://twitter.com/sense8/status/865582690786983939 looks that actors are really enjoining Sense8, they will probably help. 1
