    Dear contributors, Just to address this, and apologies for not doing so earlier - the DVDs and rest of the packages are on their way. The DVDs have been the biggest hold up - they were ready for shipment in June, and unfortunately I had to leave for a job in Los Angeles for four months. I left the packages with Sacred Bones to ship, and they were swamped during my absence. We're all doing the work of 10 people, and all are severely under staffed, over worked, and all have a constant gun to our heads with very intensive deadlines. Please understand that we are trying our hardest to get the last of the packages out ASAP, and now that I am back in NYC, this is my first priority. I also want to take a moment to give more info on the DVDs themselves. We could have just thrown in a cheap, unlabeled DVD in the mix - that would have been much easier and cost effective (for a project we've bled money on). Instead, we've hand silk screened (2 color with gloss overlay), hand numbered, & wax sealed each DVD package, which includes limited transparencies of film stills featuring Matthew & Lucy of NOTV, felt backing, and hand printed DVDs. The DVDs themselves feature 12 special features, including behind the scenes super 8mm vignettes, music from the EP, music from the limited cassette, full artwork from Shawn Reed, a poster gallery, film stills, trailers, teasers, and much more. This took a long time to put together, and the film itself was not at a final cut until the end of May. I am very sorry for the delay, but it has only been out of the desire to create something worth everyone's time and contribution. For those of you I haven't had a moment to get back to, I very much apologize. I'm only one person, working on a labor of love project, with a stack of emails and work to handle everyday, on top of earning a living. I'm very sorry for falling behind on my correspondences during my stay in LA. Know that this is my first priority right now, and that these will be in everyone's hands by the end of the month. Sincerely, -Jacqueline Future Primitive Films

    SHIPPING UPDATE #2

    U.S./NON-AUSTRALIAN & NON-NEW ZEALAND RESIDENTS

    Your packages will all be sent out this coming Monday, May 23rd. These packages are all complete except for the DVDs of the film. These will be shipping out in the next few weeks as a separate package. We're working to make the DVDs very special, with hand silkscreened packaging and full with extra features, so it'll be worth the wait. 

    AUSTRALIAN/NEW ZEALAND RESIDENTS

    Your packages will ship once the DVDs are finished, so your packages will all be complete when they arrive (as opposed to two separate packages - see above). Expect these to arrive in the next few weeks.

    And here's a photo of Lachie, Matthew, Jacqueline, Caleb, & Lucy at the LA Premier of Twelve Dark Noons! Keep track of upcoming worldwide screenings here.
