Update #7: MUSIC REWARDS

Posted 4 days ago

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for your patience concerning the music rewards.  They are all sitting in my office safe and sound.  I am still waiting on one more band member to autograph them who went out of town for a month.  This person will be back next week before the US West Coast Tour kicks off to sign the albums.  Sorry about the delay, but I did not want to ship them out without the promised complete set of autographs.  I hope everyone understands.  Sorry for the delay and I sincerely appreciate your donation and continued support.

Regards,

Rui

      Thanks for the update, I was convinced that my local post-office had lost something again.

      Hope things are going well with the film.

Update #5: ONLY 6 DAYS LEFT....

Posted on January 31

Hi Everyone,

There are only 6 days left in the all-or-nothing fund-drive for my film, THE DEEP FIELD.  RIght now we have raised $13,013, with the final goal being $20,000.  If I don't raise the full amount, then I get zero of the funds raised so far.  This means the film that I've been working on, all by myself, for the past 2 years will not come out for the foreseeable future.  There are several ways you can help:

1) The BEST way is to INCREASE your pledge amount or MATCH your original pledge.  I want to THANK everyone that has done this already.  If everyone re-pledged what they had originally donated, we would pass the funding goal in no time at all.

2) Send this Kickstarter page to friends and family with a personal recommendation.  

3) Post this Kickstarter page on your Facebook wall and other social media.

WE are almost there!  Let's see this through till the end.  None of this would be possible without everyone's incredible support and I will not forget your generosity.

You have all become a part of my very personal project and I think about your sacrifice and love everyday.

Warmest Regards,

Rui

Update #3: Moving Forward

Posted on January 17

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to encourage everyone to keep The Deep Field's funding goals in mind. Please recall, if I don't raise the full amount, then I get zero of the funds raised. This means that the film will not come out for the foreseeable future. So, I encourage everyone to help in several ways: 1) Increase your pledge amount. 2) Send this Kickstarter page to friends and family with a personal recommendation. 3) Post this Kickstarter page on your Facebook wall and other social media. Let's keep this forward momentum going. I can't do this without you.

Thank You, 
Rui

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!
