Thank you all!

Update #11 · Dec 7, 2012 · 3 comments

Well folks, YOU DID IT! 

As of this afternoon, the Kickstarter campaign for the restoration of PORTRAIT OF JASON is funded. We can't possibly express how grateful we are for your generosity and faith in us. But, believe us... we will try! 

We will be sending out the Kickstarter bonuses as we create them (posters, DVDs, Blu-rays, etc.) and adding your names to the credits of the film and digital masters in the coming months, but... we will be sending out those handwritten THANK YOU cards soon. 

We want you to know that every dollar, quarter, dime, nickel and penny we have raised will go into funding this restoration. And now it looks like we will even be able to splurge on some additional exciting bonus features for the upcoming Blu-ray and DVD releases, like (maybe) mastering some of Shirley Clarke’s shorts, restoring a few of her “unfinished” film projects and interviewing folks who worked on the making of Jason. 

We will keep you updated on all PORTRAIT OF JASON news and did I mention...

THANK YOU!
