Slight Delay, but All Worth It

Update #7 · Dec 18, 2012 · 1 comment

Hey there fans and supporters! 

Thank you all for being so patient with this project, you guys all deserve an update by this point! So by now you should have all received your post-cards in the mail! The next step is to get those who paid $50 or more your shortbook. That's in progress as we speak. So where's the delay? The delay will be both with the shortbook and finishing the film, but, we have great reasons. 

The Score

The film itself is on its way to being cut and finished. However, the composer for the film is busy and booked for the rest of this year and will be first available in mid to late January. This composer is a very experienced musician and plays almost constantly so I am very grateful to have him on board for this project. If waiting means good music, the wait is worth it! So please stay tuned guys and I will keep posting updates.

The short book 

So the shortbook is in progress. We got a wonderful writer to help us with gathering notes and bios to put in there for your entertainment and curiosity about the crew. Now that the writing is finished, the designing of the pages is next. 

THANK YOU!

Thank you all for being patient. We assure you the film is going to be finished and posted online, we just need a couple of extra months to make sure everything is absolutely the way it should be so we're 100% satisfied so that you're 100% satisfied. If you have any questions, concerns, or comments, please feel free to do so or message me! Happy Holidays to everyone!

(For those who did not receive their post-card: please send me a message and we can have that arranged (either because it got lost in the mail or you have not received the survey to input your address in your email box)).

First Rewards, Spending, and a Thank You

Update #3 · Sep 2, 2012 · 1 comment

Invitations to the Gallery Film Shoot

So the first rewards will be underway! Those who pledged $90 or more, or snatched the last minute $20 week-to-go reward will be getting their specially handmade invitations to the filmshoot itself very soon in the mail! I'm excited to see you there. 

Shopping, Shopping, Shopping!

I've already been out spending our kickstarter money. The gallery rental is now paid in full! 

I also bought fresh, big blank canvases to have my production design assistant paint them for the set. We already had some, but I was lacking real quality pieces, so we're glad to have those on set.

I also bought an ottoman bench to be used as a prop for Piers to sit on in one of the most powerful shots of the movie. 

Thank You, Everybody

I would like to give out one last and big thanks to all my friends, family and even strangers who have helped spread the word and/or pledge some money towards this film. I was delightfully surprised by everyone's genuine kindness and I feel very blessed and grateful to have such wonderful people in my life. I speak on behalf of the entire film crew when I say, thank you for giving us a chance to finally finish this film that has been in production too long. It will be that much better because of all of you. This is no longer just my film, this is yours too.
