Update #17: Post production and Hello!
Hello all!
I bet you were wondering if we forgot about you all.Things have been hectic as we moved from production to post-production. But now we are moving right along, editing away. We plan to begin sending out Kickstarter rewards (clearly not the DVD of the film quite yet, but all other rewards) by Nov. 1 (or so). So if you have yet to respond to my address request or if your address has changed, please be sure to update us with your new information on here!
Now, as far as when you can see the film. Our first public screening will be during the Oxford Film Festival in February (10-13), 2011. This will be a works in progress screening that is not in competition at the festival but is a way for all of you to be the first to see it. All of the cast and crew will be there and we will have a big blow out party during the festival to celebrate. We will keep you all posted!
Thank you,
Melanie Addington
Update #16: Trailer up!
Thanks everyone for your ongoing support. We have posted our first teaser trailer. Check it out. Like it. Retweet it. Post it on Facebook. Send to friends. Or just watch and enjoy. Thank you!
Update #15: Thank you!
We made it! A few of you have had some errors and Kickstarter should be e-mailing you on how to fix your pledge. We'd appreciate it! We will be requesting your address to send you your prizes in the next few days.
Some prizes come now, others will be later down the road (obviously the movie will be later!).
But if you would prefer an e-mail copy of the script rather than waiting until we print, then just let us know by emailing whereibeginmovie@gmail.com
Update #14: 3 days left!
We are almost done and only $600 away! We would hate to lose over $7,000 in funding if we can't get what we need. Because we have reached a critical point, things are getting desperate - so desperate that our actresses are even acting out on their own. See T. Lynn Mikeska (who will play Jill, girlfriend to Tyler, the main antagonist) and just how serious she is about us getting the last of these funds!

In jest, but really also quite serious,
Melanie and Thomas
Update #13: 6 days to go - $2400 to go!
Hey all,
Thank you for your amazing support so far. We are so close to our goal and have 6 days left. We could use your help. If you can post on Facebook, e-mail friends, or tweet about us - let folks know - that even a $1 can really help us reach our dream to make this movie.
We are working hard location scouting in Oxford and Sardis and we are almost done with casting.
We have $2,400 remaining to be raised. If we don't get to $7,500 by Thursday at 7 p.m. (CST), than we lose all of it!
