Update #12: SHIPPING UPDATE #2

Posted on May 20, 2011

U.S./NON-AUSTRALIAN & NON-NEW ZEALAND RESIDENTS

Your packages will all be sent out this coming Monday, May 23rd. These packages are all complete except for the DVDs of the film. These will be shipping out in the next few weeks as a separate package. We're working to make the DVDs very special, with hand silkscreened packaging and full with extra features, so it'll be worth the wait. 

AUSTRALIAN/NEW ZEALAND RESIDENTS

Your packages will ship once the DVDs are finished, so your packages will all be complete when they arrive (as opposed to two separate packages - see above). Expect these to arrive in the next few weeks.

And here's a photo of Lachie, Matthew, Jacqueline, Caleb, & Lucy at the LA Premier of Twelve Dark Noons! Keep track of upcoming worldwide screenings here.

Update #7: TWELVE DARK NOONS NYC PREMIER!

Posted on April 11, 2011

For those of you in NYC, please join us for the premier of TWELVE DARK NOONS, featuring a special live performance by NAKED ON THE VAGUE!

Thursday, April 21st 2011 @ 10:30PM

92YTribeca 200 Hudson St. NYC

Buy advance tickets here.

Courtesy the 92YTribeca website:

Twelve Dark Noons is an experimental short film in twelve chapters directed by Jacqueline Castel and produced by Caleb Braaten of Sacred Bones Records and Shawn Reed of Night People Records. It features a score by Sydney-based band Naked On The Vague, and stars the band’s core duo, Lucy & Matthew, in a horrific mental unraveling set in the Australian Outback. The film will be preceded by an experimental music set by Naked On The Vague live in the theater, with the premier of their music video “Clock Of 12s,” off their current EP release Twelve Dark Noons to follow.

The evening’s programming will also include an unearthed collection of underground Australian weirdness… music video clips, punk short films, and film trailers from past and present, with obscure records from the land of Oz spinning before and after the night’s screening!

Update #1: NEW PLEDGE OPTIONS

Posted on May 2, 2010

In response to requests for some cheaper pledge options, we've offered up two lower priced items!

$10 OR MORE
Gets you a limited cassette collaboration between Shawn Reed and NOTV on Night People with collaborative artwork with shipping in the U.S. Add $5 for international shipping. Exclusive to Kickstarter.

$15 OR MORE
Now you have the option to receive either a hand silk-screened Poster OR T-Shirt designed by Shawn Reed with shipping in the U.S. Add $5 for international shipping.

$50 OR MORE
This stays the same (DVD, 12", and now choice of poster/t-shirt), but DOES NOT INCLUDE the limited cassette collaboration!

HOW THIS AFFECTS PAST/FUTURE PLEDGES
If you have already pledged money for the project, your pledge option has not changed, other than for the $50 pledgers, who now have the option to receive either a limited hand silk-screened poster OR T-shirt designed by Shawn Reed for the same amount. The $50 option DOES NOT INCLUDE the cassette collaboration, sorry!

The cassette will only be available as a $10 pledge or as part of the $100 pledge package! We've tried to write this everywhere on the main page, but Kickstarter won't allow me to change the $50 pledge option to clarify (as we already have pledgers for that amount). Sorry for the change up, we just wanted to offer some cheaper options for you guys!

Thanks for all the support!

      i made a mistake with the postage amount --i wasn't sure if it was included in the pledge, or later--, is it ok to sort this out when the things are ready to be sent?
