We're proud to see that our friend, social media consultant Wolfgang Gumpelmaier, has referenced our successful TILT kickstarter campaign once again in his presentation on "Crowdfunding for Independent Filmmakers." His most recent presentation took place in Berlin on August 13th.

Even though it was over a year ago that we met our $15k goal, we still remember clearly the hours upon hours we spent watching the clock, tweeting, emailing, and facebooking 'thank yous' to supporters, and creating TILTtheTown bios. We couldn't have made with movie without you, and we can't wait to show it to you. When? Soon...so soon...

Thanks again for all of your support. If you want a little refresher about what crowdfunding is all about, check out Wolfgang's presentation on SlideShare.net.

And if YOU have used TILT in a presentation, let us know so we can give you a shout out, too!

Hello, TILT Backers!

We're proud to announce the release of our first TILT short.

When TILT premieres in March, you'll see Betty the Store Clerk in a few key moments, but in this short you get to see what her home life is like. You'll also learn a little more about her than most people in town know...

Thanks again for supporting TILT. More TILT shorts featuring other TILT side characters coming soon.

Now, without further ado...here's Betty:

On the 3rd day of TILTness, my film crew gave to me...
Welcome to the 3rd Day of TILTness, my review of the production adventure that was TILT.
I edited this video down to only 8 minutes today. Enjoy! http://bit.ly/dkfE2f

OK, the second installment of the 9 Days of TILTNESS is up at http://www.tiltthemovie.com/
It's a long one, you may want to grab a snack and a drink to watch it.

Hello Backers -

We have just started "The 9 Days of Tiltness" over at our website. If you are interested in the production of TILT, I encourage you to head on over and watch the first video. There will be another video coming every day for the next 8 days, leading up to the TILT teaser trailer premiering at the Flyway Film Festival. Enjoy! http://www.tiltthemovie.com/

Flyway Film Festival: You all got the update with the special code for TILT backers only. If you are planning to come, let us know, we'd love to say hello. We're so excited to share this very first peek at the TILT footage with as many of you as possible because we couldn't have done it without you.

It's almost Halloween in TILTtheTown: Speaking of Flyway, Phil, Julie, and Jessica are planning to carve some pumpkins with other film folks while we're there. If you are carving pumpkins this season, please send us your pics and we'll post them on the TILT blog. It's almost Halloween in TILTtheTown!

Here is the Ned Ryerson scene from Groundhog Day, for our fantastic backer, David Augustyn. Thanks David. Enjoy.

Hello everyone--

We are currently gearing up for production, which starts in less than one month, and the excitement is killing us. We can't wait to make this film and share it will all of you. And don't worry, we'll be making plenty of behind-the-scenes videos and blogs, so stay tuned.

In the meantime, Julie and I (Jessica) have been working diligently to finish the TILTtheTown bios. Just today we released the newest hypertext storybook version. If you're curious, check it out here:

Thank You Everyone!

Thanks to all of you, we hit our 15K mark today with two days to spare! Thank you so much for your generous contributions, for spreading the word, and for your constant encouragement. We are so excited to get started with filming in September, but there will be a lot of fun things happening before then, including a new contest that starts on Monday.

Just because we've hit our mark doesn't mean that our work is over, not by a long shot. We will be entering new residents into TILTtheTown throughout August, and tomorrow you can expect a re-enacted scene from "It's a Wonderful Life" as requested by backer Tim Toner.

Thank you. Thank you. And thank you again.
