Bula vinaka,Thanks for donating to our Moana Boosted campaign for Latui. It’s been wonderful to feel so supported by our communities.We are now in the final six days of crowdfunding and are at 41%, and Boosted is an all-or-nothing platform, so that means we must reach our target of $18,000 to receive the funds that have been donated so far.Photo of Actor Nicole Whippy sitting with Director Tulia Thompson at our sunset spot on the first day of shootingPlease take the time to share our campaign with our people who might be interested in donating. Every dollar that comes through towards our goal and every time someone shares the crowdfunding campaign video is a step towards getting our film completed and in front of audiences.Thanks for all the support so far, we're incredibly lucky to have such a great pool of supporters behind us.Vinaka vakalevu,Tulia Thompson and Craig Parkes

Dear Anonymous DonorsThis is a special word of thanks to you, since we can't email you individually with our appreciation. You've helped us generously, so that we could not only reach but exceed our original cautious target.  Now we can look forward with certainty to welcoming Saraid de Silva to Randell Cottage this year.  And we can plan to host her successors in the coming years too, knowing we have the backing of so many wonderful people from the arts and heritage communities.Randell Cottage Writers Trust

Saraid was chosen for 2025 from a highly competitive group of applicants, based on her track record and the potential of the writing project she submitted.  The selection committee’s judgment has been borne out by the recent inclusion of Saraid’s novel Amma in the longlist for the Jann Medlicott Acorn award for literature in the 2025 Ockham Awards and sensationally in the UK Women’s Prize for Fiction.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated to Dance the Light Away. Your generosity and belief in our vision made this film possible. We couldn’t have done it without your support, and we’re so excited to bring this story to life and share it with you soon. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for dancing through this journey with us. 💫🎬

Which side are you on? Thank you to our incredible donors for your generosity so far ❤️ Our campaign is now public and we're on the way to smashing 40% but we need your help!Boosted is an All-or-Nothing platform so if we don't reach our goal, we don't receive any funds at all. Please share the campaign with your friends who love genre films and encourage them to support indie creators! 

Thank you for your generous support!!!
