      Hi Michael,

      Thank you for your kind words. You can increase your pledge amount here: http://www.snowgumfilms.com/trollbridge/backing.html

      Quiet a few people have already requested this - and we're keeping tabs on everything. We'll also do a mass email-out prior to shipping to make sure we have everything correct.

      Hope that helps! :)

      I'm truly happy to see the project progressing nicely. Life has been pretty hectic on my end, but I've been letting all my Pratchette-fan friends know about Troll Bridge, both online and off. I was wondering if there's any possible way for me to either increase my contribution to you guys or in some way get myself on the list to get the DVD set rather than just the downloadable version. My finances were not the greatest at the time funding was closing, but I would REALLY love to have this amazing project in a format that I can display on my shelf or hand to a friend and watch their jaw drop at the pure awesomeness of Troll Bridge. This is a significant contribution to Discworld, and I'm truly excited about the amazing work all of you have put into this project.

      Thanks. Even a 'filming the last scene' update would be good.

      We don't specific project milestones - just a monthly quick update :)

      Hi Scott,

      We're still locking the last few things for filming the last scene - so unfortunately we have nothing to report as yet. Guaranteed you guys will be the first to hear about it once we have it in stone though.

      Having been on G+ for a bit now, I am thinking on how this would work, and what it could actually contribute to the promotion of the film. G+ Circles are not like FB groups, so it's a bit different. I'll get back to you on this. :D

      Hi Michael,

      Feel free to set that up and let us know the details! I see you have already found our director on there - which is currently the only real presence we currently have on Google+.

      Michael Copeland on August 5, 2011

      Anyone else here on Google+ puttin the word out on just how awesome this is gonna be? I wanna make a Snowgum or even a Troll Bridge circle of supporters and contributors where we can all share our giddy glee at all the hard work, passion, and imagination is going into what appears to me to be a truly ground-breaking short film!

      Good evening Chris,

      Thank you for reading out all the names, & the updates are above & beyond the call of duty as I've no doubt you are a busy man. Small thing, however, I'm Lady Annetta ~ like Annette, but the 'a' is pronounced at the end. Bloody good go at it from a standing start, though. Cheers!

      Massive thank you goes out to our cast and crew, every sponsor and backer, and everyone who helped spread the word about this project!

      We're working on another video update to thank you all properly - but by all that is sacred in Dunmanifestin - we've got one hell of a film lined up for you all! The support you guys have given us is utterly incredible!

      You people at Snowgum are living our dream. Wouldn't we all want to get more money than we ever asked for from like-minded people, and then fly to New Zealand and film some Pratchett? Congratulations, and please keep the project updates coming!

      Oh and spend my pledge on an extra large drink for Sir Pratchett ;)
