      Hooman, we all have our fingers crossed, but if you dont reach your funding goal :-( will this movie play anywhere in the bay area or even Sacramento? I think you have a lot of loyal followers in Northern CA who wont be able to make it to LA to see the movie at the Laemmle theater this week but still want to see it. I know the Crest theater in Sacramento rents out for movies etc. and there are probably others in the SF bay area. Your thoughts?

      "For a dollar at a time give a tithing if you give a dime." I love the idea of your making this movie on a simple cellphone - for I too do my youtube filmmaking on a small Canon still camera set on movie mode: It works for me < and it pleases me that I can create art without having to abuse a lot of money that I don't have :o) Kisses & best wishes, and may the "Source" continue to be with you... always.

      Hi Hooman, The movie looks GREAT, cant wait to see it. But I did notice that "IKE" (the cat) was not listed in the cast. Did he end up on the editing room floor? Just curious.

      I just noticed that Olive won't start playing at the Fallbrook 7 until the night the project goal expires, rats - so much for that idea.

      Yes Jamie you are right about the press, I will get our web guy to do it very soon. . .

      That is a good question about the Fallbrook 7, I will follow up, as of now they are only showing our film 1 time a day . . . Ill ask them! Thanks again for contributing to the film . . . truly!

    20. Rango.thumb
      JamieClay on December 2

      Is there any chance the profits from showing Olive @ the Laemmle's Fallbrook 7 can be applied to this project's goal?

    21. Rango.thumb
      JamieClay on December 2

      See, post your press links and BAM the big gold comes rolling in! ;-)
