      Hi friends,
      We are back from SXSW and will dive straight into the work of finishing. We still do not have a confirmation on our posters or promotional materials. The month or so should give us more information about disrtro , I hope! The next festival it will show at is HOT DOCS in Toronto next month. Thanks for hanging in there, glad you have places for your posters. Hang in there and we will be with you as soon as we can. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you!
      xx Sini Anderson, director The Punk Singer

      Creator Tate Brazas on October 21, 2011

      I saw Le Tigre in 2003 when I was 6 months pregnant with my daughter. I named my daughter "Hanna" after Kathleen so I would have a great story to tell her when she was old enough to get it. Now she's 8 years old, her favorite songs are "Deceptacon" and "Rebel Girl," and she is so stoked to share a name with someone so great. I can't wait to see this movie! Congratulations on all you've accomplished so far.

      I don't know where I would be if it weren't for Kathleen Hanna. No person has had a greater influence on my life, and has inspired me to change the life of others as she has changed mine. I simply cannot wait to see your movie!

      Creator Kathleen Donnelly on October 16, 2011

      Hi Sini
      I found this from Kathleen Hanna's blog and so glad I did. Love the trailer - I don't like to see her cry but I'm so happy to hear Kathleen say she's not done with singing. I hope she's not done with international touring either cos I haven't seen her in Australia for a really long time!
      Good luck and congratulations on getting past your target - Hot Diggity!

      Creator Jason Lapeyre on October 14, 2011

      Hi Sini,

      This project looks amazing, so happy to donate, been a lifelong fan of Kathleen's music.

      A word of warning, though - my project, The Captured Bird, was one of those Kickstarter success stories, we raised about $30,000, and we found in the aftermath that the shipping/printing/manufacturing costs were waaaaay more than we thought they were. I see you're charging for some shipping, which is great, but just keep your head up when it comes to that stuff. Movie posters are fucking EXPENSIVE to get printed!!

      Anyway, good luck and can't wait to see it! Thank you for doing this!!

      Jason

      Hey Everyone!
      Thanks for all your messages and pledges, it's so helpful and great of you. Someone just made a great point. If everyone who "likes" this project on Facebook which below the video says something like 4,000 + donated 5 bucks we would be at our goal already. Thanks for pointing that out and spread the word.
      We will be adding more 100 REWARDS and a REWARD for 250 as well. We are trying to figure out what those will be. Stay tuned. In the meantime tell all your friends to pledge.
      LOVE, Sini Anderson

      Creator Janet on September 30, 2011

      There are currently well over 4000 people who have liked this page through Facebook (rounding down to account for people who have already pledged and what not). If every single one of those people would pledge $5 today, this project would be over-funded TODAY with 27 days left. Come on now people, get pledging. You might think that your $5 won't make a difference, but that's the whole point, $5 isn't a lot to one person, but when you get 4000 people together, it becomes a lot of money.
