      Yeah, an update would be nice, it's been well over two months since the last one.
      And as i mentioned below, i still don't have a facebook account and as much as i like to see something new from this project, i'm not intending to make one ;-).
      So an update here would be nice, at least some stills from the movie or production / behind the scenes photos maybe...

      Hi Hoggel, thank you for reaching out. We hesitate to show screens as there is still color correction to be done, and we want to be sure to show our product when it is at its very best. There will be some really cool visual effects work coming along soon, though, and we think it'll be something you'll really enjoy seeing.

      Did you get a chance to go to our Facebook page and see the production photos? We'd post some images of our VFX team at work, but it won't look like much more than people sitting at computer screens. Let us know, though!

      Soooo, any news, maybe some screens or pictures of the post-production you would like to share with us (i wouldn't dare to ask for a video ;)?

      It's a shame we didn't quite made it to the $15.000 goal and will (probably?) not hear the live score, but congratulations anyway :-)!
      I hope this site will be updated regularly as well, because for various reasons i'm one of the few poeple left who don't have a facebook account ;-)...

      Hey Hoggel! Thank you so much for your support and enthusiasm, it really means a tremendous amount to everyone involved with the project. Pan's Labyrinth is a wonderful film and when pitching/meeting about our film we chose to describethe story as a mix stylistically between 'Pan's' and Spike Jonze's "Where The Wild Things Are." With a young girl protagonist first exploring the world of magic we really hope to tap into the sense of journey and escape from harsh realities that make Del Toro's film so wonderful. At the same time, thematically our story shares a similar arc to that of Max in "Wild Things." Both Kue and Max reject the authority of their mothers and choose to go life alone. It is only when faced with some of the most difficult realities of adulthood (betrayal, conflict, pain, loneliness, loss) that both characters are able to admit their need for the support and love from their mother. As for the film's length, it will be about 20 minutes long. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Thank you and danke schön!

      This film looks very promising, i'm really looking forward to see it!

      I have the feeling that an inspiration for your short is an all-time-favorite movie of mine, Pan's Labyrinth (there is even a picture of Ofelia in your trailer, if i'm not mistaken ;)).
      I love the idea that elements of this "european" story will be transferred into feudal Japan.
      It will be exciting to see that, mixed with other elements and ideas!

      Can you give us a hint regarding the lenght of your short film? Just curious...

      I hope this project gets funded very soon!!!
      Greetings from Germany!
