Update #6 - Status of the film!

Update #6 · Jan 13, 2013 · comment

Hello everyone! It's been a while since most of y'all have heard from me. I just wanted to touch base and update everyone with the current status of the film. 

I have put in a lot of hours on the film over the Christmas break, and it is now in one of the final stages of development. It should be completed very soon! I will immediately update everyone once it is completed, and I will begin shipping/delivering the reward packages soon thereafter. 

As a preview, I have attached a short teaser trailer to this update. Enjoy!

I hope everyone's holidays went well.

AMATONGAS!

Update #5 · May 29, 2012 · comment

Hello everyone! We are all having an absolute blast and the film is really coming along nicely! I wish I could post pictures and videos of the trip so far, but the internet unfortunately crawls at a snail's pace. Last night concluded with 2 of the children performing an entire rap video for us. It was pretty much the highlight of my life.

Hope all is well.

MOZAMBIQUE HERE WE COME!

Update #4 · May 22, 2012 · comment

Hello everyone! We leave for Mozambique on Wednesday, May 23, and our journey begins! While in Mozambique I will do my best to update my Kickstarter page as regularly as I can with pictures and comments. Naturally, this will all hinge on the availability of internet in Amatongas (should be able to access it at least 3 times a week). However, we will be regularly updating the trip's blog which can be found here:

Please join us in spirit by reading the daily blog!

I would like to thank each and every person once again. What ya'll have done truly means a tremendous amount to me and I am forever indebted. I am excited to touch down in Amatongas and get this film rolling along!

WE DID IT IN ONLY 5 DAYS!

Update #2 · Apr 21, 2012 · comment

I am completely floored and blown away by the outstanding response our project has received. We accomplished our $2,000 goal in just 5 days! Wow! A very special thanks goes out to all of our backers who have made this possible!

This is just the beginning though! A few weeks ago this film was just a pipe dream, but it is now a reality. WE CAN'T STOP HERE! Realistically we still need at least another $1,000 to fully cover all of our costs (and even that might not do the job). So I am setting our new goal at $3,500! So everyone please please please continue to get the word out! Simply posting the project on your Facebook or Twitter goes a very long way in attracting new backers. 

Once again, thank you so much to everyone who has contributed in any way to our project. It has been an incredible week!
