    Posted project update #4

    Helloooo Zoooo

    Hey everyone,

    I know we've been out of touch for a while but just wanted to give you a quick update. Ever since Sundance we've been back in the edit making the film even better. Literally, just locking the edit tonight! Its been a long road these past 3 years and we could never have gotten here without your support. 

    We're very proud to announce that Me @ the Zoo is premiering on HBO this June 25th. Like you, the folks at HBO really believe in this project and could not be more supportive.

    Also.. all the rewards are FINALLY being sent out this month so thank you again for your patience.

    With gratitude,  

    Chris M and Valerie
