Take Away Film Update. We're On The Move Again!

Update #17 · Jul 18, 2011 · 2 comments

Dearest Friends and Supporters.

We've been working hard behind the scenes to get this off the ground and get these bands to Uganda. With that said I have some major updates:

The biggest update is that due to her intense touring schedule a few other major factors, Lykke Li will no longer be able to come on the trip with us. She is extremely regretful and wishes she can be a part of it, but has a grueling touring and press schedule that won't allow her the time to come to Uganda.

So, we've been on the hunt for a 3rd artist to fill those petite Swedish dancing shoes and we're close! Our criteria for the artists on this trip (amazing musicians, pure hearts, adventurous spirits, clear visions, etc) is extremely particular and we want to do this film and this situation justice. We're in talks with some artists that we're really excited about and know you will be too.

Once we have our 3rd artist locked in, we'll then cross all 3 bands' schedules and will coordinate a time to get them out to Uganda. I'll keep you updated during this process both on this page and on the blog we set up. 

If you have any questions at all feel free to get in touch directly. takeawayfilm@invisiblechildren.com

We're so excited that this is moving again after a fairly devastating break.
