The Pier - Irish film seeking distribution

Update #17 · Feb 4, 2013 · comment

Hi folks. This is just a quick update to let you know about an Irish film which was filmed close to my home in West Cork. It's a very beautiful piece, but it's struggling to get distribution.

They have started a Kickstarter project to raise the funds to give it a run in the US, and I think it deserves a shot. I've just backed the project myself (I'm not otherwise involved), and thought I'd let you know about it as well.

You can visit the page here to see the trailer and read about the project: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1610111536/the-pier

Enjoy, and thanks once more for your support of The Irish Light. I do have plans in the pipeline, so watch this space.

Cheers,
Peter

Order Fulfilment and National Release

Update #14 · Aug 22, 2012 · 6 comments

Hi guys -

I wanted to give you a quick update on the shipping of the book. We have indeed started fulfilling orders, and the first people to get the book will be those who backed at the $50 and $65 levels. Next week we'll be starting on the higher levels (those take a little longer as there is more personalization and different print choices, etc). We still expect to have all the normal books out by the end of this month, but we may stretch to the first week of September. Please do bear with us - 350+ books is a lot of shipping to manage!

For those who ordered the special edition, it's going great and I'll be going in to take a look at the work done to date next week. I still expect a shipping date of mid September for those orders.

Lastly, I'm currently gearing up for a big national media launch of the book. Lots of exciting things planned, and I'm keen to give the project as big of a splash as I can. To that end, if you're in a position to help with that, please do get in touch. We're looking for national print, radio and TV coverage in order to entice the book distributors to pick it up and have it for sale in shops around the country, not just in my gallery!

Thanks again for your continued support. This project would quite literally not have happened if not for your enthusiasm!

Cheers,
Peter

The Books have Arrived!

Update #13 · Aug 7, 2012 · 3 comments

Hi folks -

I'm sorry that there hasn't been much communication lately. Needless to say, I've been pretty busy! The books have arrived and they look fantastic, as you can see below.

I'm in the process of obtaining book mailers so I can start sending them out. It's my goal to have them shipped by the end of this month. The special edition is still being worked on and will ship in September.

At this stage everyone who ordered a physical copy of the book will have received a survey requesting their shipping information along with their choice of print, if the chosen reward level included one. There are a few who haven't yet responded to those - please do as soon as possible, as I need this information to ship your books!

Thanks again for your support. I'm working with a PR company at the moment for a media launch and there's some pretty cool and exciting stuff in the pipeline related to that. Stay tuned!

Cheers,
Peter
