    WE DID IT! THANKS TO YOU!

    Thank YOU all SOOOO MUCH! We made our goal with days to spare! Thanks to you we will be able to complete our feature cut and have a little extra to make the film that much better! We know this film is important to share and we are so grateful to have the opportunity to make the best film we can. Here is a little silly video we made to share our joy! Please continue to share the campaign over the next three days! We will send another update after Friday, so stay tuned! 

    Thanks, 

    Tessa and the Out of the Silence Team!

    Giving Thanks! Let's keep it going.....

    Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who has donated so far. We are about halfway there which is awesome! We have about two more weeks to go! What a blessing and adventure this campaign has been. There is so much to be grateful for. We really feel that the film has an important voice at this time and you all have shown that with your support. We can change our reality through sound and vibration not only for personal transformation but on environmental and global scale as well. It is so great to be in the middle of this campaign during Thanksgiving because it really is an example of the spirit of Kickstarter. You give to creative projects that you believe in like our film, the film project gives amazing gifts to you and then the film can come to completion to give more to more people!

    Here is a little update video to share with you some of the collaboration and artistic vision that has gone into the film and is coming to fruition with this campaign. 

    We know we can meet our goal. Please continue to share the campaign and video with others over the next two weeks. Also if you are in the Bay area we are having two events on December 2nd and 3rd with some amazing sound healers featured in the film. Please check out the links below if you are around or know of people in the Bay area:

    Dec 2, 2011 - Santa Cruz, CA:

    https://www.facebook.com/events/263579387023489/

    Dec 3, 2011 - SanFrancisco, CA 

    https://www.facebook.com/events/240401196023370/ 

    Also the first three people who donate $500 get a 2'x2' canvas prints of their own voice in water. Check out www.cymascope.com for examples. We are almost there, but we still need your help to spread the word. 

    Have a Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy the video!
