    Sundance bound...

    Dear KID-THING supporters, 

    It's been a long time since you've had an update from ol' KT. Over the past year we've hunkered down as we completed production last January, edited through the Spring and Summer and are in the final stages of post-production now. We're incredibly pleased with the finished product and can't wait to share it with you! Sydney Aguirre, the film's lead, delivered an amazing performance as the ten-year-old delinquent Annie. Susan Tyrrell, one of our all-time favorite actresses, blew our minds as Esther, the mysterious woman trapped in the well. The band The Octopus Project, who've collaborated with us many times before, did an incredible original score. 

    The big news to share is that KID-THING will be having its world premiere at SUNDANCE 2012 in January, and we couldn't be more excited about this!  

    There's much more to come but in the meantime consider being our KT pal over at this new fangled place called Facebook-

    Again, we wanted to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your assistance in the early stages of getting this film off the ground. Your support means everything to us, and we sincerely hope you enjoy KID-THING. 

    XOXOXOX,
    Zellner Bros
