Happy Holidays friends and supporters!
Here is a link to an article about our upcoming Highwaymen feature film project from the December issue of American Airlines's in-flight magazine. Enjoy!
Dear friends and supporters...
"The Highwaymen" is now listed on imdb. Stay tuned for upcoming news and future updates right here on Kickstarter and also on our official Facebook Fan Page!
Dear Kickstarter Supporters and fans of the Highwyamen Feature Film Project,
Last night at midnight, our 60-day campaign to raise funds needed to produce this project came to a sad close. Unfortunately we did not meet our goal despite strong efforts to reach out to potential pledgers. There is no rhyme or reason why certain things in life work or don't work. No one can say we didn't give it the good 'ole "college try" and it certainly will not effect our passion and desire to make this film.
It has been a long, enjoyable road and I hope you found the updates you received over thes past two months to be enrichening, enlightening and (in some cases) even entertaining.
We can't thank all of you enough for your pledge and support for this project. It is truly going to be an inspiring film once complete, and each day we feel more humbled to be the ones bringing it to the big screen.
Please stay tuned as exciting news continues to develop. We will be sure to update you here as well as on Facebook. Until then, thank you again for your belief in this endeavor. For us, that is truly worth any pledge amount we could have received.
Yours in film,
Todd Thompson and Kathryn Ruscio Kelly
