The entire thing played out via auction on twitter, with Kevin moderating each bid as it arrived, encouraging other major film sites to check in with their counter-offers. It was not only great fun to watch, but encouraged awareness for the charity, got fans involved, and even helped generate more buzz for “Red State” in the press. Genius? We sure think so. We’re hoping to see the trend continue, bringing further scoopage to the fans by helping charities — One tweeter suggested that perhaps the one-sheet be printed, signed and auctioned off once more, this time with the original going to the highest charitable bidder.

Out of respect for the winner, we’re encouraging you to head on over to “Giant Fire Breathing Robot” to see the one sheet and read the winner’s own comments instead of posting it up here, for now. You can see how it all played out on Twitter, though here’s a few of the key posts:

To raise some loot for www.havefaithhaiti.org I offer the 1st in the new series of RedState posters, featuring Michael Parks as AbinCooper. Movie web site that offers the most, gets the pic exclusively, and I will match their bid. All monies go directly to www.havefaithhaiti.org

And the gate slams shut, with the mechanized might of @GFBRobot winning the rights to host the new RED STATE poster! Well played, all!

And, as promised, I’ll be matching with my own $2k. And all that money goes directly to the @MitchAlbom charity www.havefaithhaiti.org

Giant fucking RedState scoop at Giant Fire Breathing Robot! See a brand new poster featuring MichaelParks as Abin Cooper: http://gfbrobot.com

Similar plans have been suggested for acquiring distribution rights to the film at Sundance, where Kevin may actually get bidders in a room following the screening and allow distribs to bid in the open once they’ve watched the film.

We’ll be archving the poster here locally in a day or two, but for now, support GFBR, and visit the SModcast site for another look and info on how you can help save lives by supporting www.havefaithhaiti.org.
