WE DID IT!!! Thank you EVERYONE! We reached our goal today but there are still tons of awesome, one-of-kind rewards left and TRUST US - any extra funds we receive will be put to very good use so if you still want to back us please do! And we have a totally amazing, last-minute reward coming up so stay tuned for that as well. ;) There's still 14 days to go so keep spreading the word too!

But we cannot say this enough - we are eternally grateful to all of you for your incredibly generous support! We can't believe we reached our goal is just 15 days - we're just so humbled and deeply grateful to all of you. We CANNOT wait to share the film with our amazing backers. And as Alex Chilton sings, "wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you.."

THANK YOU FRIENDS!!!

P.S. - We will be contacting all of you regarding your rewards after the campaign wraps up on June 28th so look to hear from us in early July. Let us know if you have any questions.

Cheers,

Danielle, Drew & Olivia
