      I'm so proud to be a part of this project that lets the true spirit of indie film shine through. I am continuously proud of all the wonderful and creative people that have jumped on board to support this movie. And for all the blood sweat and tears that Gregor and Andrea gave to this prject, I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that we will continue to support this "baby" as it starts to grow. Hugs to you both, Gregor and Andrea.

Update #4: We Made a Poster for AFM!

Posted on November 4, 2011

Dear Contributors, Family and Friends -

We hit the ground running at the American Film Market in Santa Monica today where over 5500 films are attempting to be sold.  Our philosophy for this event is simple; be in the right place, at the right time.

We've already met some fantastic filmmakers, writers, directors, distributors and producers and today was just the first day.

Thanks for all the love, support and positivity - and thanks for continuing to share this Kickstarter campaign right up until the very end (midnight PST on Friday Nov. 11th)!

Filled with excitement and gratitude,

**Andrea and Gregor**

Update #3: 11 days left, $8,098 to go!

Posted on October 31, 2011

Hello, Backers...

We're truly grateful for your continuing support in our campaign - aside from your financial faith in us, it's been your tweets, your posts and your pass-alongs that have helped us raise - as of 11:09pm Pacific Standard Time - $6,902.

Now according to the OFFICIAL KICKSTARTER CLOCK, we're exactly 11 days away from reaching our deadline. That means that if we don't come up with the full $15,000 by 11/11/11, we don't get anything!

So in our final week and a half we ask that you post our campaign on the social networks, as well as forward it/mention to as many friends and colleagues as possible.

And - If you're in Los Angeles on 11/11/11, we invite you to our "Closing Night" party at the Wine Bar in Landmark Theaters (10850 West Pico Blvd - inside the Westside Pavilion Mall).

Thank you for joining us on this incredible journey!

Update #2: Cloris and Andrea Discuss Film Funding

Posted on October 21, 2011

Hello -

Cloris invited Andrea over for soup this week and they discussed the Kickstarter campaign. 

With 21 days to go and over 60% of our funds left to raise, even Cloris wonders how this will all work out.

Meanwhile, Gregor and Andrea are prepping for the American Film Market on November 2nd when hundreds of film distributors come to Los Angeles to buy and sell new movies. 

Please continue to share the "It's a Good Day to Die" campaign and this update video!

In gratitude,

Gregor and Andrea
