A few updates before the end of the year. We recently passed ONE MILLION views on YouTube. That is a lot of people watching the series and we're very grateful to you, the backers, for making that possible.
We're finally down to sending out the rewards and got our first lot of 100 DVDs printed up. We'll be sending them out over December/January, so keep an eye on the mailbox.
Please keep keeping in touch. We love to hear from you!
As well as the official @silentcityNYC twitter, you can find our indiviual feeds as well and keep track of new projects.
