Various press releases were submitted about the film and/or subsequent discussions with the filmmaker. These usually pertained to a festival screening. On August 28, 2008, there was a special press release by the Woodstock Film Festival. It announced a sneak preview benefit screening of the film at the Jacob Burns Film Center in Pleasantville, NY, followed by a Q&A session with Townshend. This was unique because it marked “the first collaboration between the two film organizations.” The founder of the Burns Center, Stephen Hays, assisted the theatrical release of the film by “funding the prints and advertising campaign of Battle in Seattle” in the New York and metropolitan area.
