Dear Friends of Flummox -

Whew! We just finished shooting the live-action "Flummox Labs" portions of our pilot episode and couldn't wait to give you a little peek behind the scenes by way of this video. You can also check out some photos from the set on our Facebook page.

Cast and crew were truly outstanding and we all had SO MUCH FUN! There's lots of post-production still ahead of us, but it feels great to have most of the footage in the (digital) can.

Thanks to YOU for making this all possible!

Christa

Hello Friends of Flummox!

We've kicked into high gear with pre-production activities, and BOY ARE OUR ARMS TIRED.

We'll be shooting the first week of March here in the Bay Area, so we're busy planning things with our crew, rehearsing with the cast, and starting to design a set that will become Flummox Labs.

You'll continue to receive these Kickstarter backer updates when we accomplish big milestones, but for more frequent* dispatches and a behind-the-scenes view of our production, you can subscribe to email updates by going to our website and using the sign-up form in the left margin.

And speaking of our website…

Check out our updated website with new cast photos. If one of your rewards was to get a public "thank you" on our website, then your name is right here for all the world to see!**

And speaking of rewards…

Watch your inbox over the coming weeks for a short survey asking for your address, and a few other particulars, so we can send you your rewards as they become available. We're working on getting postcards out just as soon as we can.

SO...

Time to put on our our seatbelts, secure all hats and glasses, and keep our hands in the car at all times because HERE. WE. GOOOOOOOOOOO!

Stay tuned,

Christa and the F&F team

*but not TOO frequent.

**If you're having second thoughts about being on the list, if I've misspelled your name, if you feel like your name is missing, please feel free to send me a message and I'll fix it straight away.

You said "yes!" You said "do it!" You said "HELL YEAH!"

And because of you, we made our goal of $30,000 in pledges. Thank you for believing in this project, for helping us make something awesome for all those smart-but-quirky kids who could use a little more laughter with their learning.

It's not over. We've got 10 more days to go. (Don't worry. I won't pester you much.) So you can keep on sharing our project with friends who will like it, or who might enjoy getting the pilot on DVD or any of our other rewards.

After tonight, additional donations are gravy.

But: Mmmmmm. Gravy.

Christa, Jordan*, Liesl** and the whole F&F team

Friends of Flummox -

Will the unspoken rules of social interaction be on your mind this Thanksgiving as you gather with family and friends? Are you the one who volunteers to do the dishes just so you can avoid small talk? Will you be joined by that one relative who doesn't quite realize when everyone else has switched topics? We all get flummoxed sometimes.

Share our project with someone as you pass them gravy. Or check out this link to a terrific article by Jean Winegardner of Washington Times Communities as you retreat to that quiet nook to escape from sensory overload.

As we enter our last two weeks of our fundraising campaign, with just a little more than $5K to go, we're filled with thanks for all of you and your support, and we wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Christa, Jordan, Liesl and the whole F&F team.
