Update on fundraising & the film

A quick shout-out to all the marvelous people who have donated to see this humble film project see fruition, some updates to quell any anxieties about its gradual and sometimes stunted progress.

Funds are raised! For production anyways, this means that cameras will finally roll once all the requisite crew members are hired up and the busy holiday season passes us by. Likely mid-January is when wheels will be up and the film will be shot.

In the meantime we are still casting the leads, since the supporting roles are cast! Wonderful local character actors are on board for the roles of a couple barflies, one of whom is a veteran of several Coen Brothers films! Pretty cool, I don’t mind saying.

Meanwhile, happy holiday season, may we all size up our waistlines on the finest turkey and stuffing, and then work hardily to slim down in time for eggnog and candy canes. More updates to come as news arrives, and stay tuned for more fundraisers down the line. While we have enough for production, we will still need to raise plenty more for post-production and eventual distribution through film festivals and such.

With much love,
The Dive Movie Team
