Prezzies
Hi guys. Just a quick note to say hello and that I will soon(ish) be getting on to your rewards. I am on the road for the next month, promoting BOY and doing press and Q&A's, so I haven't got time to get all of those things together. Rest assured they're coming, especially the 80 or so drawings I have to do.
For the 393 backers who pledged $1 in return for me thanking them at night before going to sleep. I did that last night, with all 393 of you. I thanked you all in my own special way, in my mind, and from memory I think everyone had a great time. There was a lot of stuff to clean up afterwards and of course it was messy and the walls needed wiping, but you all consented and approached it with open minds. Thank you for a night I will never forget.
Hope you're all well and happy.
Taika

I’m going to give you a personal day-long tour of Waihau Bay, New Zealand with some of the cast and crew members, followed by dinner cooked by me and my aunty. This is where we made BOY. We’ll arrange two round-trip domestic airline tickets, food and lodging included. I’ll send you everything else above, of course. Let’s sit on the beach and get to know each other. We can talk about BOY or anything else that’s on your mind.

Loved Eagle vs. Shark, and cannot wait to see BOY! Very much looking forward to the digital downloads for TWO CARS ONE NIGHT and TAMA TU.

Aloha Filmmakers, I am so thrilled that "Boy" is coming to the Palace Theater in Hilo, Hawaii! In fact, it is something of a magical coincidence. Because. I am a filmmaker, too, and my first film, "Nona Beamer: A Legacy of Aloha" will be premiering the day after yours, at 2:00 pm. at the Palace Theater in Hilo! Will you be coming to Hilo presnt your film on the thirteenth? Can I add your name to the guestlist for my film? You can see the trailer at http://chameleon-chameleonproductions.blogspot.com/

Don't look. I'm still hiding somewhere inside Taika's mind room. I'm hiding so well, I don't even know where I am but there's some weed here, oh yeah...
Creator Susan Bennerstrom on March 23, 2012

Hey Charlene -- tell those 10 Seattle Cinema Club slackers to make an effort -- this film is ABSOLUTELY worth it.
Creator Charlene Freeman on March 23, 2012
Ha, now I'm sorry I didn't make a second pledge for a dollar! I will see you again tonight, in case you want to get a jump on one of those 80 plus drawings. :)
This time I'll have some members of the Seattle Cinema Club with me. 20 RSVPed they're coming, which means probably 10 will show up. But I know they're going to enjoy the hell out of it!

I've told friends and colleagues in Hawaii to look out for it.
