We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on January 3, 2012.

FULLY FUNDED -- and still inviting backers up to the last minute!

Update #9 · Dec 30, 2011 · 7 comments

What a way to wake up on the last day of a year -- and to head into a new one!

Thanks to you, to all 463 of you, we are FULLY FUNDED. There's no way to tell you how much we appreciate what you've done... You are our founding community, and always will be. Thank you, thank you and thank you.

We are continuing to invite backers up to the very end -- $33,000 is a bare bones budget. Every dollar we raise above that amount helps to offset Kickstarter/Amazon fees -- and gives us more money to fund the months-long process of editing this film.

As members of our founding community, you will be the first to hear any news about FOLK -- what festival invites us for our world premiere, special events, behind-the-scenes stories; and you will all be thanked as our "founding community" on our website and in the film (our higher-level donors will continue to have the special recognition they've pledged for). Please feel free to FB, Twitter or email the invitation to be part of this very special group, as you see fit.

Thank you so much for being our community. There is no way this could have been done without you.

Love and thanks from Sara, Henry and Diana
