      Hi Pamela, thanks for your note, that would be lovely. Really looking forward to seeing Granito. Best of luck with the last week. Our appeals have been neck-and-neck on Kickstarter's 'Popular' page for the last couple days, nice to see Guatemala getting such attention.

      ¡¡Adelante!!

      Many thanks Maurice and Dylan! And William, I wish we could increase the amount of tickets for the premiere but we're limited by the amount of seats that we can purchase. In any case thanks for the contribution you gave!

      Creator Maurice Young on March 9, 2011

      I am very honored to help in the success of your documentary. I will spread the word in my social connections on-line (internet) and off-line.

      Or just increasing the number of pledges for $100 NY premiere package

    18. Nyc_sjlv.small

      Creator William Mann on March 3, 2011

      The $100 NY premiere is sold out. How about adding a 150 catagory that has tx to the NY premiere and a DVD?

      James, many thanks and we'll gladly send you both DVDs.

      Creator James McNally on February 26, 2011

      Okay, just increased my pledge to $50 and have chosen the Granito DVD but hoping you'll remember that I'd like both DVDs!

      Creator Skylight Pictures on February 24, 2011

      Laurie, I think we already answered your question in an email, but in any case the answer is yes. Hope to see you in San Francisco!

      Creator Skylight Pictures on February 24, 2011

      James, we didn't structure the rewards that way, but we'd be glad to accomodate in some way - how about an additional pledge of $25 and we'll send you both DVDs? Let us know if that works for you.

    23. James_mcnally_fall2008.small

      Creator James McNally on February 23, 2011

      I'm wondering if backers get any of the lower-level rewards as well as the reward they've chosen? For instance, I've chosen to receive When The Mountains Tremble but I'd also like to see Granito online. Now that you've added a DVD of Granito, I'd like to get that but also receive When The Mountains Tremble. Is there any way to combine some of the rewards?

      Mucha suerte, Pamela & Paco! Hope to see you all here at the SF Int'l Film Festival in April/May..
      Abrazos, L
      P.S. Any chance I can make a higher donation (say $40 total) and receive a DVD of Granito instead? I already have "When The Mountains Tremble"...
