Update #6: Holiday Cheer!

Posted on December 14, 2010

It’s abundantly clear by now that we did not make our goal by the deadline. We made it to 33%, which is nothing to sneeze at but also no box of cigars. Or Kleenex. Or pygmy goats. It’s a box of potential. We have a lot of people to thank, regardless.

First, Milli (fearofwriting), whose superb suggestions have given us the framework we are going to use as we re-work, re-think and re-mount our project. It’s wonderful to have such solid support from someone so far away who believes so completely in our work. Milli, you are a delight!

Second, our friend Casey (WhitePhospherus), whose insights prompted so much helpful thought on our parts that we’ve made concrete forward strides in our planning by continually referring to his thoughts on the this page and our blog.

Thanks also to everyone who contributed! Just think, you’ve got a little bit more spending money for the Holidays. We are incredibly grateful to you for your ongoing support.

Finally, big thanks to the cast and crew of the promo video!

We have our thumbs in pies, our irons in fires and our plates full of fullness with projects at the moment, which we will detail in weeks to come, same Landed Gentry time, same Landed Gentry Channel! This film will be made. Until then, may your days be merry and bright!

Update #5: 10 Hours To Go

Posted on December 12, 2010

We all know someone who's fabulously wealthy.

The irony in our choice of The Landed Gentry as a name for our creative collective should be apparent in that we are not fabulously wealthy.

Friends, please gently but persistently rub this project in the faces of your fabulously wealthy friend(s). Harangue them, but pleasantly. Bully them if you must, but give them tasty treats as you do so. We have 10 hours to go, and you are the only way we are going to make it.

Yes, it will take a miracle. Put the 'ira' in miracle by draining your Roth IRA and giving it to us.

Holiday Cheer,
The Landed Gentry Team

Update #4: 34 Hours

Posted on December 11, 2010

Hello, Friends of Indie Shorts,

Only 34 hours to go and we are at 32% of our goal.

We're deeply grateful to all of you who have contributed.

We know there's something special in our Indie Shorts. We know you know it, too. We know you want to see what's in our Shorts, and we want to show it to you.

Help us help you see what's in there.

Your Friends,
The Landed Gentry

Connected as Dillon Wall (523 friends)

Dillon Wall, Brandon Fraley, and Edward Hightower met in the midst of other projects. Their biographies are too full and varied to list in this space. Together they form the Pickled Amygdala production team. We recommend you watch the entire pitch video for an excellent representation of what they can accomplish as a team.
In the meantime, we offer this quote from Rumi:
"I tried to think of some way
to let my face become yours."
