Update #3: New Directions
Dear Kickstarter Supporters,
As all things tend to do over time, our wonderful project, and the circumstances around it have evolved and shifted. We have re-evaluated our current position and are restructuring our plans accordingly; the first step is canceling our Kickstarter pledge drive. Please know that we are so grateful for all of the support that’s been given and we’ll be sure to keep you updated on our new plans as they unfold.
Thank you.
Carla & Erin
Update #2: A time of pause & reflection
Erin's husband, Lucas, has just experienced the loss of his father this past Sunday. Our hearts and thoughts go out to Lucas and his family for peace and strength. It’s a reminder for me personally of how precious, temporary and worthy of celebration all of our lives are. A great man has passed who has touched many lives; bringing to the forefront, the impact that all of our lives have on each other; family, friend, stranger or otherwise. To our supporters, please know that you are greatly appreciated and receive our heart-felt gratitude. To anyone reading this, please send your love to Lucas, his family, your families, friends and friends you haven’t met yet.
From my heart to yours,
Carla Giampapa
Update #1: It's GO TIME!!!
First up, we want to thank all of our backers thus far....we thank you profusely even!!!! :)
Having all of your support means so much and in more ways than just your pledge...moral support is huge! It's humbling and truly heart-warming that we have such supportive people in our lives. Some of our backers have also re-posted on Facebook, MySpace and sent out additional emails on our behalf......this only took a minute of their time and has potentially great rewards for all of us.
As of this writing, it's been a week and we've raised 6% of our goal. Although we're grateful from the bottom of our hearts, we really need to kick it up into full gear to make our goal. Keep spreading the word everyone! Re-post, send out emails, tweets, blogs...anything you can think of to help us get the word out.
Thanks everyone!!!
Carla & Erin

Phinn & London is a partnership between Groovy Stories (Carla Giampapa, CEO) and Erin Kruger. It is the culmination of two years of development and all started with a script that Erin wrote more than six years ago. Over the course of two years, the script has been developed in such a way that many additional products have stemmed from it, ultimately creating a franchise. The two lead characters from the script, Phinn and London, are at the core of this franchise and all products focus on one or the other Character or both.
Groovy Stories is a content development and production company. Formed in late 2008 by a collection of industry professionals with extensive experience in business and the film production industry, as well as, knowledge covering a range of aspects including marketing, advertising and the music industries, Groovy Stories is a cornucopia of talents committed and dedicated to the success of each of its projects. The principles hold numerous awards and are known for their accomplishments. With several projects in the pipeline, Phinn & London in “Love Is A Dairy Product” will be the first feature film slated for production.
