    Web Site Launch

    Dear Open Secret Backers,

    A note to tell you that the Web site for Open Secret is up and running (and evolving). Please go to www.opensecretfilm.com to stay up to date on what is happening with the film. New content and features are being added all the time. There's a mailing list you can sign up for, too. Other ways to stay in touch:

    Facebook: www.facebook.com/opensecretfilm

    Twitter: http://twitter.com/opensecretfilm

    Of course, the number one thing you can do is spread the word about the film. No, it's not quite finished and, no, I don't really have a date for when the world will see it, but I'm learning how important it is to talk about this thing and keep making note to the world of any and all progress.

    We're just a few days away from the final rough cut of the film and in a couple of weeks I'll begin holding private test screenings for feedback about what is and isn't working.

    Please visit the site (or FB and Twitter) and stay tuned!

    Steve

    Thank You!

    Just an official thanks to you--all 111--who believed enough in me and my film to offer some financial support. The more than 8 thousand dollars pledged has allowed me to start editing the film again (starts on Thursday!) and for me to travel to Kansas later this week for one of the last shoots of the film. I wish I could say when the film will be finished and, most importantly, when (and where) all of you can see it, but it's simply impossible to know at this stage. But I am in the process of creating a web site (with the talented Mark Ferdman--my biological father's grandson and my half-nephew!) where I'll post news about the film.

    Again, my deepest thanks in helping tell this story. It means a lot to me.

    Onward!
