Joining the flock at "Black Storm" is Mr. Michael Klubertanz, as a score composer; this talented German musician is versed in many fields due to his work as a conductor. We at "Black Storm" are extremely delighted to have attracted such a talented musician; sample his film works on http://www.mkscoring.de . Michael is proud to collaborate with the artists creating “Black Storm” and will compose a unique soundtrack for our short film. Michael's most recent musical score composition "Postcards from Paris" will be heard at the Cannes Film Festival this year and we wish the film well.
So, we're three down in what's been a great start to the Kickstarter drive!
Thank you so much to the amazing early backers! You guys are fantastic. There'll be a backers-only video blog that'll start soon and welcome you to the project, so keep your eyes out.
But now we need to go stronger than ever. What we need to do is to spread the word on Black Storm as much as possible!
Annoy your neighbours, pets, friends, enemies, and at least five relatives (then press Control+Alt+G once you've forwarded this to twelve people and your crush's name will appear on the screen - at least, that's what our marketing team told us to say).
There's a new contest up right now on Twitter using our contest hashtag #BlackStormWarning - if you aren't following us, go do so to be in the running for some awesome swag. https://twitter.com/#!/islandofkatuki
Thanks again and keep spreading the word! You guys rock.
