What happens now
I'm sure you've all been wondering what's happening with the film now that we've made our goal. We've been hard at work over the last few weeks putting the finishing touches on the edit and prepping for final output and delivery.
I'm proud to announce that Buzkashi Boys will be finished this week!
You will all be contacted soon about what happens next. We'll be getting everyone their rewards over the coming months, and I will keep you updated on the film's progress.
The first exciting bit of news I'd like to share is that we have been accepted into both the Beijing International Film Festival and the Big Island Film Festival in Hawaii. We screen in Beijing at the end of the month and in Hawaii at the end of May. We are waiting to hear back from many other festivals as well.
So thank you again for helping make Buzkashi Boys a reality. And I look forward to sharing the continued journey of the film with all of you!
Yours Sincerely,
Sam French
