Kickstarter

Hello All,

I'd like to offer everyone a quick update on the project. As with many films, even on the studio level, sometimes everything can go right and quickly unravel with almost no warning. About 3 weeks before I was planning on traveling to Minnesota, our Producer, a key member and important part of the film running smoothly, was forced to drop off the project due to personal reasons. After scrambling to replace her, I was unable to find a suitable replacement in the timeframe, not to mention feel comfortable about replacing such a key member of our crew that close to our shoot date. 

While I only blame myself for not being prepared for something like this happening, I was incredibly surprised to learn how much a Producer is needed for making a film operate and be successful. It seemed impossible to continue with shooting without someone stepping into that role. It was with extreme disappointment and deliberation with the rest of my crew that we should delay the film until next year. 

While my excitement to make the film now was at its highest, I realized that this is just a minor setback and that another year might be beneficial to have. After all, it only gives us more time, potentially more income, and now with the knowledge of how easy things can fall apart, be more prepared for such occurrences again. 

So that is our plan: Wait one more year and shoot in the winter of 2014. We are going to try to push the script into more places than we did before, enter it in competitions and try to raise buzz on it. We are going to try to grow our budget even larger. I'm walking away from this experience not defeated but confident that we found out one thing that wont get in our way again. I wanted to write this so that all of you wonderful people who contributed to this project don't feel like your contribution is going to waste. None of our budget has been spent and I plan on keeping it safe until it can be used for this project. 

I wanted to thank all of you as well. Your contribution made this project possible in the first place. I did not want to squander it and rush into the film with any sense of unpreparedness. Quality is the upmost importance. One more year will only bring us closer and allow us to focus on how to do this right. 

Thank you

Brett Price

Hello Everyone,

First off, I need to thank all of you for your support and helping us reach our goal. Its amazing how in this business, just having a little bit of money to get things going can make or break a project. All of the sudden, "maybe's" are turning into "yes's" and it seems like finally, after all the uncertainty of if we can do this or not, its feeling like we ARE doing this. I cannot wait to get things rolling, I cannot wait to get to minnesota and start filming, I can't wait to show you all what we have been working on for so long. I cannot wait!

So over the next few months things are going to move a little slow. We are going to start budgeting what we have, locking crew, talking to locations and taking auditions for actors. Its still a lot of work but at the same time, looking at our requirements, our needs and what we are capable of, I feel like even the hardest parts are totally doable. 

Now that I am totally recovered and on my feet again, I'm finally feeling normal enough to start being more productive and I will but updating this more often than I have been. (to say the least, I took a little hiatus) 

So once again, we couldn't be at this point without all of you. I appreciate your support more than you know. You are giving me an opportunity that I wouldn't have been able to have on my own. So thank you!

Hey guys, Thank you so much for your support for this project! Sorry I have been MIA the last few weeks, I've been recovering from jaw surgery. I just wanted to write this post and update everyone on the project. 

About a week ago I found out that a very reputable director (of which I cannot name) had gotten ahold of our script, read it, and liked it very much. While I don't know of how this will impact our project, by itself it is extremely encouraging! I almost couldn't believe it when I was told. 

Right now we are sitting above 2,000 of our 15,000 goal with 3 weeks to go. I just wanted to say that several kickstarter projects have funded themselves almost entirely in their last day. I am extremely thankful for all of you who have donated to us. It truly means the world to me and the people working on this project. We all just want to make something great and without your support we wouldn't be on the way to doing that! So, Thank you again!

Brett
