Update #1: Back from Sundance
Dear friends,
I'm back at home after my whirlwind trip to Sundance. The film played four times to sold out crowds and the response was excellent.
You can see pictures and press about THE THING and our Sundance premiere here.
If you haven't already, please "like" THE THING on Facebook and sign up for our mailing list.
Now that the dust has settled all incentives that haven't gone out yet will be delivered within the next month.
Thanks again to YOU for making this happen!
