      Hey Rui, I'm happy to see that you achieved the funding you needed. Now I'm quite excited to see the final product.

      I thought your trailer was exceptional, and can relate to the loss you and your family had to deal with. I lost my own remaining grandparents in the past few years. Best of luck in completing The Deep Field!

      I wish I had more to pledge to this film but I am running my own Kickstarter right now. This film looks beautiful and reminds me of my own grandmother, whose passing was one of the saddest moments of my life. I would love to work with you someday soon - your talent is undeniable and your cinematic eye keen. DaltonGaudin@gmail.com - my family lives in Austin and I in LA, please contact me. Best of luck. I really hope you reach your goal!!

      -Dalton

      Rui,

      This is a wonderful gift to your grandmother but also to the world at large. So many humans are truly 'out of touch' with death and how by REALLY being a part of a loved ones passing can be TRULY a blessing. Personally, I am SO grateful to have been chosen, by my recently passed 'Spirit Sister', to be part of her death. Though she told me MANY times how much it meant to her to have me with her and for my help and assistance, but in all honesty, I feel I received more by participating in her death, on many deep levels, than she did.

      Your film looks like a very honest, moving and loving look at the death and life of a loved one. May your dreams be realized and the people of the human race learn to understand that death is but a part of the cycle of life. There isn't anything to fear, as death is the ultimate 'unknown', but just the next step each person's life cycle.

      Peace and Blessings!
      Karen Kirchem

This was made before the album went into mass production as a "test" to see if everything sounded ok. These are super RARE. This unit happens to be Christopher Royal King from This Will Destroy You's personal test-pressing that we both listened to the album on for the very first time. Theoretically, this would be the "#001" Tunnel Blanket pressing if LP's were numbered. A BIG THANKS to CHRIS KING for offering this very unique reward!
