Update #5: 60% funded .... alas, a taco short of a combination special.
But here's a link to see the whole film in HD anyway.

I really, really appreciate your support.
If you'd care to help out with The Red Loft Decoration Fund, here's the link.

Thanks again .... and feel free to let me know what you think of the film.
Yours sincerely, Stephen J. Payne.
Update #4: Alas .....
Thanks for your pledges, alas, with less that 24 hours to go, it seems we won't make it. I'll keep pushing the film wherever I can, but I'm in the process of moving to a wonderful new space right now, so it will be a month or two before I can start pushing the film again.
If you care to help decorate The Red Loft instead, I promise your kind donations will not go wasted. I'll post another "Fresno" thing in a month or so.

Again, thanks very much for your interest. Stephen J. Payne.
Update #3: Link to film.
Update #2: Huffington Post
I'm officially ..... a blogger.

I wrote to Arianna about "Fresno" and she suggested I start a blog, and invited me in. I've only met her once and emailed with her a few times. Surprisingly she's written back within a couple hours each time. Faster than about 90% of my friends. Haha.
Anyway, I'm hoping I can generate a little more interest in the film. Keep spreading the word. :)
Update #1: Architectual Foundation invite.
After two very successful screenings at the Rotterdam International Architectural Film Festival, viewed by over 500 people, "FRESNO" has been invited to be shown at The Architectural Foundation's bi-monthly film series in London. This is very good news. And kinda strange as I expected to get more interest from the skateboarding world and less from the high-end architectural world. We will see where this leads.
The really cool thing is that I can send the film out over the the series of tubes that makes up the interweb. That way, it stays HD (intsead of SD DVD's) and there's no shipping costs.
Thanks for your continued support ..... and please help spread the word about Kickstarter.

A British photographer/filmmaker/entrepreneur, currently living in sunny Downtown Los Angeles.
I started out as a photographer on Fleet Street in London many years ago. Then got into film/video. Taught myself to shoot and edit and it's been a slippery slope since then. I'm very prolific. I shoot pictures for people almost every day and complete at least two video projects a month. My website gets updated constantly.
I recently moved back into the wonderful world of downtown Los Angeles loft dwelling. Good times.
