Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on September 30, 2011.
The internet has spoken! $4.99 is the official price for The Bubble available exclusively through Chill.com
So far, the response has been amazing! In the first two weeks we have had over 1,200 visitors on the site and sales are trickling in at a steady pace.
Be sure to share the link with anyone you think would be interested in The Bubble, and thanks again for your continued support!
To celebrate the first weekend of our launch on Chill, The Bubble will only be $4.99 for the next 24 hours!
That's right, you can check out the film at a special price and spread the word!
Tomorrow it's going back to $7.99 so act fast! Thanks for your support!
It's been a very long journey, friends, and we're getting to the end.
Today I am happy to announce that The Bubble is available for streaming and digital download at chill.com
The film is available by itself for $7.99 or in two different bundles:
One bundle is $9.99 with The Bubble AND a digital download of my first short documentary Sincerely PV Reese, and the other for $14.99 with The Bubble, Sincerely PV Reese, AND a digital download of the 14 track soundtrack for The Bubble featuring original music by Gabe Schray.
Next month, The Bubble will be available on DVD and VOD through Amazon, and then I think that might be it. I think we may have reached the end of our trip together.
Thank you all, yet again, for making this a reality. It could not have happened without YOU, as I am sure the next project won't happen without YOU either, but let's enjoy the final stretch of this journey before we move onto the next.
Please share the link to the film with everyone you know. Let's try to make this movie at least as successful as the Kickstarter campaign that made it happen.
Thank you. https://chill.com/PhilipSwift/the-bubble
Finally, it's happening. I am happy to announce the World Premiere Screening of The Bubble! It will be at Musica in Akron, OH on December 28th and will include a live performance by the creator of the soundtrack, Gabe Schray! If you can't make it, no worries, two festivals on opposite coasts have expressed interest in the film and more opportunities to see it on the big screen will be coming up all throughout 2013. Advance tickets for the Musica event can be purchased from the Musica website.
For all backers, especially those that can't make it to the Akron premiere, be happy to know that I am planning to get ALL rewards out by the end of the year. YES! That includes soundtrack CDs and Special Edition DVDs! Also, the official website for the film is now live, check it out here.
Final bit of great news, thanks to a great friend and backer of the film, Angela Petrella, we had a very special private screening on October 30th at the one and only Pixar! About 30 employees attended the after work, in-house screening with special guest, Katie Potocheny, who is a former Celebration resident and one of the interview subjects in the film. We had a Q&A session after the screening with extremely positive feedback from the staff and a glowing endorsement from Potocheny herself. It was a great chance to see the film on the big screen and endless thanks go out to Angela for making it happen!
Things are really taking off, and as always, it could not have happened without YOU. Thank you again and stay tuned for more great updates! Until then, please enjoy this new trailer for the film:
It's been awhile, but the news is good. There's a lot to report, but let's keep it simple.
A feature length version of "The Bubble" will be done by the end of September, that much is sure, and there are some great things coming together in relation to festivals and distribution, but nothing certain yet. Just stay optimistic and send out that positive energy!
Stay tuned for more updates that will be coming quickly in the next couple of months. The end is near and it could not have been done without YOU!
