Update #25 · Jan 17, 2012 · comment

Backers..

We had an AMAZING time at the Idyllwild Festival of Cinema this past weekend!  This festival was the first to official accept and screen 'BUTTONS' to festival goers, and we had a blast playing our film alongside many other quality stories.

A surprise to our group was taking home the most awards of any other project (feature, featurette or short) competing at the festival!

'BUTTONS' took home four of our seven nominations, awards including:  Best Score, Feature or Featurette (Samuel J Smythe), Best Actor, Female, Feature or Featurette (Moniqua Plante), Best Screenplay, Featurette (Andrew Fisher) and Best Director, Featurette (Andrew Fisher)!  Attached is a photo of our team present at the festival.

We will be reporting about more festival acceptance news soon, so please be sure you've connected with us by clicking LIKE at: www.facebook.com/buttonsintheground

This month are circling back with all of you to be sure we've honored your kickstarter rewards.  If for some reason you have not been contacted, message us please (info@buttonsintheground.com) and we will get your promised rewards to you.  We are also selling extra DVDs (aside from the DVD rewarded to you) for $10 donation to help us continue to fund our promotions for the film - mainly festival entry fees in addition to participation costs (travel & lodging).  If you would like to order more DVDs, please email us at:  info@buttonsintheground.com

Thank you for your ongoing support and enthusiasm in BUTTONS IN THE GROUND!

Update #21 · Sep 17, 2011 · comment

Backers..

We are excited to share with you the launch of our revised website for 'BUTTONS' !

http://www.buttonsintheground.com/index.html

Our new look on our website is aimed for promotion of the film!  Now that our project is complete (DVDs are burning in Texas as you read this) and now that we are submitting 'BUTTONS' to film festivals, it's time to get into publicity mode on behalf of the film.

On our site you'll see the trailer (home page), you can read about cast & crew, get news updates about wherever 'BUTTONS' will play and you can also reminisce along with us under MEDIA with our 5 behind-the-scenes videos.

We are SO excited for our Saturday, 9/24 - 7PM premiere in Turlock, CA!  For those of you who still have yet to RSVP, it's important you please do (we want to have a seat put out for you!).  Please email all attendee names to:  buttonsrsvp@gmail.com  ALL GUESTS WELCOME.

We're aiming for a NOVEMBER premiere date in LA.  More info soon.

-the BUTTONS team!
