Everyone --

Here's the latest on Brothers.

I'm very excited to finally share with you the film's poster, made by the incredible J. Zachary Keenan. It will be printed and shipped later this month, with a limited number available at our December screening.

And so, after a very long weekend, Color, Music and Sound have been set for tonight's screening thanks to the laborious and amazing efforts of Andrew J. Whittaker, Andrew Chugg, Ryan Sciaino and Gregg Swiatlowski. I've only just assembled everything, so tonight will be the first time anyone will watch the film in its finished format.

Tonight marks a day I've been looking forward for over a year. It will be the launch of the second film I've completed. But more importantly, it will mark the second film funded, in part, by your support. As of today, we've raised almost $3,000 from 82 different backers. This film would not have been completed otherwise. That's why I believe, now more than ever, the future of filmmaking lies in grassroots support. So thank you all for your willingness to take a chance on an idea, I can't wait to share the result.

With 4 days left, my remaining hope is to continue to spread the word, so that when Brothers does launch, it will have as strong an audience as possible.

Still more to come on the release of the Digital Download, DVD and so on.

Okay everyone.

Today, I'm pleased to announce two private screenings of Brothers happening this fall.

Tuesday, November 1st at 9:00pm, ReRun Gastropub Theater - 147 Front Street Brooklyn, NY 11201 (see map)

Sunday, December 4th at 7:30pm, Alliance of Resident Theatres - 138 South Oxford Street Brooklyn, NY 11217 (see map)

These are closed screenings for only cast, crew and most importantly, you, our patron saint backers. The event includes:

• Advanced private screening of Brothers (long before it's released to the public)
  
• Digital Download
• Thank You in the End Credits
• Open Discussion with the Cast and Crew (Q & A are a bit formal)
• Cocktail Reception

Tickets are available through kickstarter with a $25 pledge; limited seating is available.

So with that, we have 44 days remaining and $1,298 to go. I urge you to continue to share this project online, it's already made a major impact in funding this film.

Thank you, thank you, thank you,

Larry

Hey Everyone --

Just a quick update on Brothers.

We're deep into the post-production process, working hard to meet fall deadlines to submit for film festivals (i.e. Sundance, SXSW, IFFBoston, etc). Winnie Cheung is editing the film, Andy Chugg (of Crinkles) is composing the music and Gregg Swiatlowski will be returning for the sound editing and mixing (remember how good ICE HOCKEY sounded?). The film will be completed in early October with a private screening for cast, crew and backers held later this fall.

In just over a week, 21 backers – composed up of have friends, colleagues and strangers alike – have lent their support and pledged $677 to reaching our goal – THANK YOU.  But there's still 52 days to go and we still have a long way to go.

So today, we're launching a trailer on kickstarter to help spread the word and enjoy.  Please continue to share this project and help fund this film. 

More to come soon,

Larry
