Hi Salva, message us at godhelpthegilrfilm@gmail.com
HI!
Is it possible to change my reward? I would prefer the t-shirt signed by Stuart rather than the poster I pledged for (50$ reward). It was not available when I pledged.
If it is not possible it does not matter. The most important is that project goes on.
Thanks!!!
Hope you are all doing awesomely!
How's progress?
Any word on the rewards?
Thanks :)
it´s a pleasure to help the band we love and has done so much for our lives alredy.
Quick question: I pledged and began receiving emails on Jan. 27. I got all the neat demos and exclusive tracks from that point on. Were there any demos/videos that went out to the backers before that date? If so, would it be possible to send out one last email with all the exclusive tracks to all the backers?
Congratulations on exceeding your goal by $21,000! Very excited for attending the screening party and seeing the completed film for the first time. Cannot wait!
Congratulations! Look forward to the movie... put a wee bit more in at the end while watching the countdown. Time to spin a little GHTG and B&S vinyl on the stereo to celebrate! Thanks!
Ten minutes to go! Been a fun, dramatic two months. Sometimes I forget this is actually about a film being made, the campaign itself was so exciting.
Thank you Michael , no problem. Shai thanks so much for your support and we have a note of both rewards. Janies, we are so grateful for each and every pledge, thank you for chipping in what you can.
GHTG HQ
Hello, I added $80 to my pledge - I'd like to add a ticket to the NYC screening, in addition to the already-selected Glasgow tour. Thanks!
Hi,
I have helped with 151$
I have marked to have the 100$ Our friends at Deadly Digital are going to print a very exclusive run of 5 giclee art prints on museum grade paper. They will be lovely quality and about 16 inches square on a 22 inch canvas.... I'll be happy if stuart can sign it too.
Can I also have the 40$ reword ... receive a DVD of the film with separate Kickstarter only special feature disc PLUS a signed thank you postcard from Stuart. Thanks Shai Aharonov
I'm so excited for the movie, and glad to be a part of the project! I'm sorry I couldn't contribute more than $20 since I'm a poor college student. I'm cheering for you guys!
Given all the joy I've had listening to B&S's music over the years, and as an ex-pat Glaswegian, it's a real pleasure to back this project. It's going to take quite a feat of imagination to conjure up a "long hot lazy summer in Glasgow" though!
Best of luck to the GHTG team - can't wait to see (and hear) the film in all it's glory, and nice to be able to play a small part.
Yes, indeed, congratulations! I am so looking foward to seeing the final film (if I lived closer to Glasgow or SoCal, I would have chosen one of the preview/premier parties -- and yes, even though i live in San Francisco, getting to SoCal is like getting to Glasgow.) Also so glad that I could a part of this endeavor - I feel like I AM part of the crew! Best wishes for continued success.
Congrats on making it! Amazing push at the end.
My twitter account was banned for too much advertising of the project, at least it was banned for a good cause and not for Viagra spam....
Hello Megan, don't worry, it is a bit confusing. All you need to do is amend your pledge amount to the total you want to - $100 - just keep the reward selection as it is and send us a message to say you would also like the digital download. Thanks for your pledge!
Maybe I'm a bit thick at this (and I have just woken up), but I'm a little confused right now. I've already pledged $80, but I'd like to pledge another $20 and and have a premiere ticket plus the digital download. Is there anyway I could do this, or would I give up those two prizes for the bigger one of being in the end credits?
Fantastic!! Congrats!! 7 days to go, let's keep it goin!
Congrarulations! Much Success to you
Hello Axel. Thanks for your question. Our budget is modest compared to other films Barry has worked on but it has still been a real challenge to raise the finance we need to make this film happen, it's a tricky time to get finance raised for feature films and though Stuart is a successful musician this is his first feature film. Though the Kickstarter $100k is only a small part of our budget it is still a very important part. The more money that comes into the pot, particularly in this, direct from the audience way, the more that reassures other investors that this is a project to get behind. So it brings other finance on board. You are correct though, it also builds an audience for the film and the interest we've had from fans and press has been very encouraging for us and our financiers. Hopefully it means that when the film is made, lots of people will want to go and see it and that it was counts. I hope that answers your question.
Ok, congratulation,now that the project is funded i can ask a question i had on my mind for quiet a bit of time. When the project started i pledged mainly because i love the band. But later i started wondering how come that such a succesfull artist like Stuart and an also succesfull producer like Barry needed some 100 000 $ to fund their project. I'm wondering why two such succesfull and connected individuals needed to go on the internet to ask for that not so big amount of money. Is it to create a loyal fanbase that will be supporting and advertising the project during all the production ? Is that some kind of a new e-marketing trick ? I'd really would like to have a feedback about that, and please not the usuall you are all fantastic.
I just came here to copy the link and appeal to my Facebook friends again to help it over the target, but I see I don't need to! This is wonderful news.
Can I ask, since I'm currently not sure if I'd be able to go next year, do you know if there will be other opportunities to get preview party tickets closer to the time?
Thanks, and congratulations, and good luck!
Congrarulations! So proud to be a part of this. And excited for the preview party when it arrives!
hipster, hooray!
Brilliant!!!!
Awesome...countdown to Glasgow is on! Congrats!
Yes!!!!...god help the backers!
YAY!!!!!! I'm so happy for Stuart and all the GHTG team right now. Congrats! xxx
Congratulations on achieving your goal with over a week to spare! Very happy for all involved and looking forward to seeing the God Help The Girl film come to life. x
I think the finish line is going to be crossed with a full week to spare. So awesome.
i just pledged $40, i'm just sorry i'm not able to give any more than that. all these people pledging hundreds are wonderful. good luck with everything, i can't wait to see it xx
Good luck! Looking forward to it... hopefully by then our own 'girl' would have sorted out her 'problem hair'... ah yes! that line always springs to mind when getting ready for the school run!
I had to help you a little more to make you reach $96,500...even if it means I'll probably have to eat pasta for the rest of my life. Ha! xx
My wife and I are really looking forward to all of you making it over here for your LA premier. We will be praying that God helps this "little baby girl" to do even better than that "2006" gem of an Irish 'musical film' called "Once", that was filmed in Dublin. -My Irish prayer- Please Lord, bless them as they start their new venture. Continue to fill their spirit's with hope and prosperity. We ask that you protect them from any negative energy. Help them to move forward and grow each and every day. May God, his son Jesus, and all of the angels surround them. May the holy bible be their guide and protection. AMEN... & P.S., I pray that Stuart's rare "white label" press of Tigermilk (that he rightly bestowed upon his minister) will continue to smooth over -with the big guy upstairs- any salacious images he may choose to put in this film. Or he can just blame it all on Rock and Roll like everyone else does... but then "I Could Be Dreaming". God Help The Girl... only 9 days to go. By the way, Tigermilk is truly classic stuff.
So I see! Thank you so much Andrea, that's a nice number! Only $4k to go.
I have updated my pledge to reach 96000$
Thanks you Lisa - 2 tickets are yours!

Dear GHTG team, I pledged $160 and would also like two tickets for the preview screening in NYC. I'm looking forward to seeing the magic. -Lisa
I pledged a small amount, I just wanted to be have at least a tiny participation on supporting this project. Please don´t forget to realese the film in Argentina. Good Luck! Cheers.
It is exciting! Thanks for your pledge Brett and of course, 2 tickets to NY preview are yours. Plus you'll get a name in the credits for pledging over $150. We'll contact you at the end of the campaign to confirm rewards.
I'm so excited for this! You're so close, we have to make it. I pledged $160 hoping to get two tickets to the New York preview, but it looks like it only counted me for one ticket. Any chance I can get two tickets for the $160 pledge? If I don't get that ticket for my wife, I don't think she's going to let me pledge any further!
Hello, today I reported to major Italian independent film distribution company your project, i hope their interested in funding.
Glad to be able to help in even a tiny way, Stuart is a great artist and I'm pretty sure a lovely person to boot. Remember seeing him in Birmingham make a few people's best ever moment by inviting them on stage to dance to Boy with the Arab Strap. Top bloke.
Thank you so much for the Dress Up In You demo. Catherine has such a beautiful voice. I love this version! xxx
Dress up in You demo is wonderful. I'm so glad to see you're / we're doing so well! Brilliant! x
Just listening to the Dress up in You demo, it is ridiculously beautiful! Have always wanted to hear the song with a female vocalist and Catherine's voice is just gorgeous in every way, gives me chills. Thank you so much!
Amazing just amazing as always :) x
