Thanks for hanging in there folks! A great start to an excellent campaign, and many thanks for your efforts! We'll be sharing more in the coming days as our production begins proper.
Until then, keep sharing us far and wide! We can't wait to make this film for you.
Momentum Building...
What a wonderful week you've given us! We are stoked by all the support, and looking forward to showing you what we're working on. With only a couple weeks from the end of the campaign, we are already prepared for the production challenges ahead. Keep sharing this campaign, so we can make this story the very best it can be!

So Close...
We have come so far, and with 4 days left it's so close!
Thank you everyone that has donated so far; your generosity shows us how much trust you have in us, and in the concept. With luck, we will be shooting very soon...
We are continuing to reach out to our community for more support - please share this far and wide and let's make the last days the very best!
Funded!
What a fantastic result! You deserve a great film, and we intend to bring it to you. Thank you for your support of this campaign - it has been great to have you all on board with us!
If you haven't already done so, please join our Facebook group. It will be where we move our updates to once this campaign has concluded.
We will be continuing to take donations for the rest of the campaign as part of our stretch goals. What we have asked for will cover what we absolutely needed, but every extra dollar will give us the ability to make this film bigger and better, including hiring extra crew in key roles, improving the funding of our department resources, and pay for post-production work.
We can't wait to make this for you!

Stretch Goal Passed!
Our first stretch goal has already been achieved! Your support humbles us, and we thank you from the bottoms of our hearts!
Here's what it covers:
Your additional contribution will allow us to hire more crew, invest in production design and post production, and reach a wider audience for this film.
We will be updating the project shortly with a new stretch goal and what it targets. Stay tuned!

6 Hours Left
Hi everyone,
Thank you for your support of our campaign - we are beyond thrilled to get this film made.
We are now coming up to the last 6 hours of this funding campaign, and we have one last thing to ask from you.
The funding we have so far is fantastic! We want this film to be the best form of itself it can be, and to do that while paying everyone a fair wage. To that end, we are still asking for donations, even up to the last second!
Please share us one last time with your friends, family, coworkers - we will be putting every cent of this funding straight into making a fantastic film.
Here's to a great finish!
Lindsay and Miles.

An update from "A Girl Called Elvis"
Kia ora to all our fantastic patrons,
Editing A Girl Called Elvis is almost done, and it’s looking great! Our dedicated post production team is working hard to get this film completed, so that we can start submitting to film festivals, and share it with our Boosted donors.
However, we need your help one more time. We need to raise enough to be able to complete the sound editing, to add music, and do the final sound mix.
Please share this message with family and friends. If you feel you can help us out with this, please contact us at bymiles.nz@gmail.com, or via private message.
All new and existing donors will be listed in the credits, and invited to a special Cast and Crew Screening.
Thank you for your support - we can’t wait to share this film with you!
Lindsay and Miles."
