Update #1: 12 Hours Left!!
Hi "Volcano Girl" Supporters!
We have a little over 12 hours left in our Kickstarter campaign to raise money for DVDs and to go to festivals! It has been a fun 2 months on Kickstarter; and I'm excited to say that, with your support, we have reached our goal!
Now we have 12 hours left to push the fundraiser all the way to the finishing line! Did you receive a special online screener of Volcano Girl and now you would like your own DVD? Maybe you would like a signed poster, or better yet, a phone call with the very cool director (me!) to ask about the making of the movie?
I'm proud to announce that the film has been accepted into its first festival in March and hopefully more will come soon! You can keep up with Volcano Girl's festival screenings on our website www.volcanogirlthemovie.com, our Facebook fan page http://on.fb.me/dYI5zb or Twitter @TheVolcanoGirl.
Thank you again for your amazing support of our student film and our young filmmaking careers. It truly means so much to us, the VG crew!
