Update #11: THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!!
We are inches away from $100,000 an incredible achievement!! So for one last time (and we really mean it this time) please share this and make this happen. You are all invited to a private screening of these films which are now being shot in 5K and the final part in 3D!!
There is an hour and half left to become part of something completely unique and truly incredible. So if you know anyone who would be interested PLEASE share this with them and let them be a part of this amazing project too!!
THANK YOU!!
Update #10: International Cinema Screenings for all backers!
UNBELIEVABLE!! We have smashed the $80 target for 3D!
We have been racking our brains as to how we can give something back to all our supporters. If we can hit $90k we will host private cinema screenings for each and every backer (with +1's) in London, LA and New York!
These films are EPIC, they will be shot on EPIC and even in 3D! Seeing these films in a theatre will be AMAZING!
Do we dare to dream? Can we make it happen?

Your enthusiasm is infectious (but in a good way, not a living dead kind of way). I can't wait to see the film. Here's to hitting $90k.

Update #9: Success!! But how far can we go?!
THANK YOU!! WE'VE HIT 100%!!
It has been an amazing Christmas for everyone here at Realm and a Boxing Day we will never forget!! Thank you all for making this project a success, it is a dream come true. As you'll have probably noticed people are still donating, an incredible testament to other people's belief in this project, so rather than sit back and relax we are pushing even harder. If we can reach $80,000 by New Years Day, at midnight GMT, we can film the final part of the series in 3D, no independent film has ever done this before!! This would very quickly make this the most unique film project currently in production and cause the world to really take notice! So for one last time we are asking for your help, to continue the support you have shown and encourage others to get involved and ensure we are all part of something truly incredible!
We are going to be live streaming the last 24 hours of the campaign so come along and tune in for the moment we make history!!

Thanks guys. I am really excited for you. I have had my video students follow the UWR this semester and they are getting a lot out of it. I appreciate your in depth updates and enthusiasm for your work. Looking forward to the final products. Congrats!

Why not donate it to some sort of program or cause instead of filming in 3D? I know my entertainment is far less important than the lives of other people and beings, and the safety of our waters and environment.
