So the latest is we are in post-production limbo.
May and June there will be an announcement for the post production grants applied for from Sundance (round 2 in which they requested a 20 minute short), Gucci Tribeca and National Geographic All-Roads.
A second fundraiser in Chicago will happen at Unity Church, Chicago in April with the short being screened and usual shenanigans.
Thank you to all for your continued support and inquiries.

returning home
Stacy and I fly back this Saturday, Aug. 16th after 33 days in Tonga. We will have about 30 hours of taped interviews, footage of Tonga life, music, including the King George V's Coronation and Miss Galaxy Pageant. Just this week things are quieting down in the Kingdom and things are coming back to normal for a country that had so much to celebrate. Stay tuned for information on the editing process and completion date. Thank you to all supporters as well.
