    Battle for Britain
    Posted project update #2

    13 days to go...

    Dear Friends, Fans and all around Amazing People,

    We've got two exciting numbers to share with you.

    First we'd like to thank you all for taking us this far:

    $4,722 PLEDGED OF $7,500 GOAL

    (Yes, four thousand seven hundred and twenty two dollars.) 

    That really is an incredible achievement. We're very touched that people give such generous support for independent cinema, and for a short film no less!

    But here comes the scary part:

    13 DAYS TO GO

    That leaves us less than two weeks to raise another...

    $2,778 LEFT TO RAISE

    But we can, no, we WILL make it. Especially if you can do one more thing for us and spread the word.

    Please share this link with people: http://kck.st/kqDlrV

    And keep your fingers crossed.

    Thanks for all your time and support. We can't wait to see you at one of the coming screenings. New York City International Film Festival in August is next, by the way!

    Posted project update #1

    NEWS: Battle for Britain in Krakow, Palm Springs and beyond


    First off, we want to extend a massive Thank You to all our generous backers so far! We've been overwhelmed by your generosity and have hope that this dream will become a reality.

    We have so far reached nearly 50% of our goal, and while we're approaching the deadline very quickly (only 41 Days left to go...), we hope that a few generous angels will help us out in the final hour.

    We had an amazing time at the 51st Krakow Film Festival and were incredibly chuffed to see that our film's star, Julian Glover, had been printed on gorgeous 12-foot banners on Krakow's epic market square. 

    We've posted a video below for you all to see.

    In other great news, Battle for Britain has been selected for this year's Palm Springs International ShortsFest.

    Sadly, given our current situation, we won't be able to attend the festival in person but, should this Kickstarter campaign work out, we do hope to be able to see you in person at wonderful festivals in other beautiful corners of the world.

    Many thanks to you all for your continued support and thank you for spreading the word.

    Best,

    The Producers
