    We did it!

    More like, you did it! 

    THANK YOU to everyone who helped us reach (and then surpass!) our funding goal. Quite literally, we could not have done it without you! 

    But the fun is just beginning as we're now submitting Roots & Hollers to film festivals and spreading the word. 

    Stay tuned for up-dates (and thank yous!) coming soon.

    yours,

    Tom

    Trailer Update!

    Hi Everyone!

    a couple quick bits of exciting news:

    - we've updated our trailer with some new graphics and a sample of the brilliant work of our musical collaborator, William Ryan Fritch. If you don't yet know Will, give it time. He's going to be huge very soon, we predict. We're incredibly excited to have him collaborating on our film!

    - speaking of: we've finished! We locked picture at the end of April and had an initial screening in Berkeley this past week. Now that we've graduated and completed our project we're shifting into outreach and distribution mode so stay tuned for updates about showtimes and events in your area coming soon! 

    Of course, every little bit helps getting a film like this out on the road and in front of audiences. We're nearly at our goal so we truly appreciate all of your support!

    until soon,

    Tom
