I apologize for the delay on this thank you message -- I have been in Los Angeles shooting a feature film.  But I wanted to thank you for helping INTIMATE SEMAPHORES reach its goal -- we did it!  I am thrilled to be able to complete these three stories, fully realized, thanks to your generosity.

I will continue to use this page to share updates on the pick up shoot date and on post production (editing, sound design, color correction, screenings, etc).

And for New Yorkers -- be sure to check out the cover of the Sunday NYT Magazine, which I'm told will feature IS12 "Helberger In Paradise" actor Musto Pellinkovicci.

This will be a very busy fall and I cannot wait to share these stories with you soon!

Dear IS12 Team,

I am extremely heartened by the support INTIMATE SEMAPHORES has received so far -- just under $13,000 from 114 contributors.  

We are now 44 hours away from our deadline with $9,000 remaining.  I'd really appreciate if all of you could continue to spread the word on this project through e-mails, social media and just talking about it with friends/family.  Over twenty percent of contributors are people I have never met, which really proves that social media works!

It's worth mentioning again that for a $1,000 contribution I will shoot/edit one day for any project you might have -- an event, party, wedding, commercial, etc. And for a $2,500 contribution I will shoot and edit a two day project for you.  Projects will be shot on a Sony F3 package.  Please let me know if you'd like to see samples of my work relevant to what you're looking for!

An exciting casting update to share: Musto Pellinkovicci, who plays Rally in IS12 short "Helberger in Paradise" has just been cast in a major role in the new Martin Scorsese film "The Wolf of Wall Street" starring Leonardo DiCaprio.  Musto also recently wrapped a key role in the upcoming "The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby" starring Jessica Chastain and James McAvoy.  Congratulations Musto!

Your contribution will ensure that I'll get to do another day of shooting with talented actors such as Musto.  

Thanks again for your continued support and I cannot wait to share the final product with you soon!

All the best,

T.J. Misny

Dear Kickstarter friends and IS12 family,

I wanted to thank you for helping me get nearly to the halfway mark in my goal for INTIMATE SEMAPHORES.  With just 3 days left, we are $11,400 away from being able to complete these films.

I know 3 days might seem like a very short timeframe, but I believe a lot can happen in 72 hours when a group of people are passionate about something positive.

It's remarkable that nearly a quarter of the 93 contributors we have so far have come from people I have never met.  This proves that sharing my link page truly helps get more people involved.  If you could continue to share word about my campaign with your colleagues and social media network, it will go a long way!

If you haven't noticed already, there are some exciting rewards for contributing.  I wanted to point out a few notable ones.  For $1,000 I will shoot a commercial project for your business, or shoot a 1-day event like a party, including editing.  And for $2,500, I will shoot a 2-day project and edit it.  If you know anybody who is getting married or throwing a big party, corporate event, concert, etc this would be a great way to capture that special day in a cinematic style.

I hope that the enthusiasm about this project that motivated you to contribute in the first place can continue to motivate you to spread the word so that the goal can be met.

We got halfway here and I believe we can complete the second half even in this limited timeframe!  I'll be checking in before the 48 hour mark!

Please let me know if you have any questions re: IS12 or my work in general!

Thanks for your continued support!
