Long Overdue Update! Still Alive and Fighting!!
Hi Friends,
It's been WAY TOO LONG since we updated you! We can reassure you that we are still alive and well...and making a killer film for you all! The only reason it's taking so long is that we are spending your money very wisely and trying to make a film that will impress every last one of our Kickstarter supporters : )
Since we last updated you, a lot has happened!! Here are a few highlights:
- We've shot over 200 hours of fights, sermons and interviews...and even projectile vomiting!
- The project has been featured on Gawker, Huffington Post, USA Today and more!
- 120,000 Views on our promo trailer in 2 days!!!
- Tons of press interested in the film...BBC, USA Today, Der Speigel and London Times are just a few that have approached us.
- We were accepted to the IFP Spotlight on Docs Program in NYC where we showed chunks of the film and had some great talks with potential buyers and partners.
- 2 pastors fought each other...need I say more?
- Edited the film down to a rough 80 minute feature length.
- Test Screened the film in Denver! This was the first time we've shown a rough cut of the film in a theater. The response was great!
The good news is...WE ARE ALMOST FINISHED!! This month we plan to film the last scene of the movie. One of our main characters is making a comeback fight and we are very excited to be with him for the fight. It's a crucial scene in the film and we've been waiting a long time for it. After that, we will spend another month or two editing and hopefully have the film ready for a summer premiere!
We will definitely update you again as soon as we know where the film will premiere. Thanks again for all your support. I don't think you all understand how low budget our film is and how vital your contributions were to our success. We can't wait to show you the film later this year!

THANKS AGAIN!!
THE FIGHT CHURCH TEAM
