Update #7: Thank You and Feedback Request

Posted on April 20

Hi Guys,

I just wanted to personally thank all of you for supporting our Kickstarter project. We are so stoked with our current situation and are really excited to take things to a new level this year with the depth of our content and power of our new site.

Because you guys are our core viewership, I'd like to ask your opinion. If you have time, we'd love to hear what you think about the new Korduroy website- what you love, what's okay and what needs to be improved. We've spent a long time working on it and have a good sized list of changes we intend to make when money allows. Your input will help us immensely in this process of making it even better. Please send any feedback to info@korduroy.tv

In recent news, we've finally gotten the go ahead from the owner of the house I've been taking care of for the last few years to dial in the property for use as the home base for Korduroy Camps and Workshops. We tried out the first one last Saturday with our Kickstarter Platinum backers- Gustavo, Matt, Todd and Per. Despite the unseasonably chilly weather and victory at sea ocean conditions, the handplane workshop was awesome and we had a great time discussing filmmaking, gardening, etc. Stay tuned for a schedule of events and workshops coming late summer. Here's a video of the event in case you'd like to see for yourself.

yeWWW,

Cy
