AttributeError When Retrieving Object in Django

For every movie download on my webapp, I want to inform the uploader through mail that his movie have been downloaded. I wrote the below code, it seems I'm finding it hard to get the query right.

  AttributeError at /download/

 'unicode' object has no attribute 'email'

Models:

class Emovie(models.Model):
    User=models.ForeignKey(User)
    movie_file=models.FileField(upload_to='miiv')
    movie_name=models.CharField(max_length=50)
    email=models.EmailField()   #email of the uploader
    #other fields follows

Views.py

@login_required
def document_view(request, emovie_id, urlhash):
    document=Emovie.objects.get(id=emovie_id, urlhash=urlhash)
    downstats=Emovie.objects.filter(id=emovie_id, urlhash=urlhash).update(download_count=F('download_count')+1)
    #where email notification starts
    notify=Emovie.objects.filter(id=emovie_id.email)
    send_mail('Your file has just been downloaded','this works','[email protected]',[notify])
    response = HttpResponse()
    response["Content-Disposition"]= "attachment; filename={0}".format(document.pretty_name)
    response['X-Accel-Redirect'] = "/protected_files/{0}".format(document.up_stuff)
    return response

How can I go about this?

replace 

notify=Emovie.objects.get(id=emovie_id).email

with 

notify=Emovie.objects.filter(id=emovie_id.email)

It will work fine...

The error happens here: Emovie.objects.filter(id=emovie_id.email).

emovie_id is a unicode (string) object which means you can't do .email on it. Given that you want to filter on id= I think you meant to write: Emovie.objects.get(id=int(emovie_id)).
