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 March 22, 2012.

We did it!

Update #2 · Mar 22, 2012 · comment

With your help, we were able to raise $12,523 by the time the campaign ended today at 11:04 a.m., which means that we will indeed receive the funds pledged. We're thrilled to deliver the good news. 

It's been exciting and encouraging to witness the support of such a vital community of writers, artists, and readers--all of you fans of the work of Larry Levis--and we look forward to being able to continue our work on the film.

Soon I'll be sending many of you a survey to collect your name and address so that you can receive your rewards. 

We couldn't have done it without you! You have our ongoing gratitude.

With sincere thanks,

Michele Poulos
