We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on July 10, 2012.

One week to go!

Update #4 · Jul 1, 2012 · comment

Dear friends,

Thank you! I am blown away by your generosity and encouragement. We are moments away (I can feel it!) from reaching 75% of our goal. This is great news!

However, we still have a ways to go - and only just about one week left to raise all of our funds. There's not a moment to lose! If you haven't contributed yet but plan to, now's the time. Thank you for making this important film possible.

When we reach 75%, as promised, I'll release another song by the močiutės: the unofficial anthem of Puvočiai, "Puvočių Daina," written by the močiutės themselves. You'll be able to listen and download via soundcloud.com/landofsongs. I can't wait to share it with you!

In other news, if you haven't yet checked out our freshly launched website, take a look. It's full of information about the film, the močiutės, the village, the history of the daina tradition in Lithuania, and lots of beautiful photos. Don't forget to check the “supporters” page if a “thank you!” on our website is part of your reward. You can find it all here:

Special thanks to my web designers / technological consultants and dear friends, Chuck Yatsuk and Staton Piercey.

Yours truly,
Nuoširdžiai,
Aldona
