    Ticketing to "Fat Ladies" - to clear things up!

    Hello!

    I apologize for the confusion but if you tried to purchase tickets for the film online, they are only sold with the feature film included (the $15 deal). If you would like to only attend the short film block which includes my film and two other short films, these $7 tickets will only be available at the door. 

    If you are definitely attending (and part of your prize is a free admission to the premiere), please let me know and I will purchase a ticket for you and have your name on it at the box office! 

    Thanks!

    Fat Ladies Premiere Information!

    Dear Backers,

    Thank you to all of you who have filled out your survey. If you have not, please check your e-mail for a survey sent two days ago. I need an address for some of you!

    Also, I'd like to invite you to come see "Fat Ladies"!

    The premiere of the film is Wednesday, July 27th at 8 PM. It is being presented by Cinema Club at IndieScreen (285 Kent Ave, Brooklyn, NY).

    It will be the third film in a block of three short films which will be about a half hour long in total - $7 for all three! Tickets can be bought online or at the theater, however, the theater is small so get it while you can! There will also be a special screening of a classic feature film, "The Apartment" starting at 9 PM. (One of my favorite Billy Wilder films.) You can see all four of the films for $15!
    Here's where to go!: http://www.indiescreen.us/

    Please let me know if you will be attending!

    Thanks! See you at the screening!

    Editing, a love story.

    Dear Backers,

    I'm happy to say that I am well on my way towards completing "Fat Ladies". As some of you may know, editing is a long process and so I thank you for your patience and cannot wait to show you the final product, whenever that may be. It is also not entirely my favorite stage as I love to get my hands dirty.

    Luckily, my wonderful editor has finally arrived in New York and I can happily relieve the larger part of the cut to him. I am also very excited to have a super talented friend of mine compose the music for the film. So far, I couldn't be happier with the way things have turned out. I will keep you posted as we get closer and closer to sitting back, relaxing and enjoying the show.

    I thank you so very much once again.
    Best to all,
    Juna

    Dear Wonderful Supporters!

    Last weekend my amazing cast and crew finished the principal photography for "Fat Ladies"!

    This means we're working very hard in the editing room and hope to be done by the late fall. I will keep you all posted on the progress and the premier!

    Thank you once again for making this possible. I have never felt such strong pride in myself and my fellow artists. I can't wait to share it all with you!

    In the next few weeks I will be gathering the information I need from each of you regarding your rewards for making a donation.

    Have a wonderful summer!
    Best,
    Juna
