Dear Everyone!
Firstly, we are writing to wish you a happy and (most importantly) healthy New Year.
Secondly, we are writing with a profound apology for a lack of communication in the past months. Our pro-bono production/post-production team, like so many around the world, was deeply impacted by the global pandemic and after a smooth filming process (supported by incredible backers and volunteers!) we faltered hard with communication during post while income streams crashed, home schooling and child care juggles abounded, and income disappeared. Those challenges are not gone, but we have solved some of them.
Looking ahead:
1. We are excited to report that we have completed a strong rough cut of the film. It needs more work, but our talented editors have showcased wonderful performances recorded sensitively by our incredible (and incredibly hardworking) camera and sound team.
2. We now need to complete a fine cut and then to finish with sound, color, music, and graphics.
3. We have to raise a little more money to do this, but we have some leads and expect that this summer we will be complete.
We will keep you posted (frequently!) and look forward to good news. We know that backing a creative project is an act of artistic faith and we are grateful for yours!
Very warmly and gratefully -
The Thursday's Child Team
