Wow! Incredible! Overwhelming!

We can’t believe our ambitious target has been met! The generosity of everyone who shared, particularly on this last day of our campaign has meant the world. Our hearts were racing as donation after donation suddenly started pouring in. And then all of a sudden we were over the line!

To our mystery donors, we want you to know especially that your donations mean so much. And we wish we could send each of you a personal expression of thanks.

We have planned a stretch goal of $24,000 to help further to ease the pains of short filmmaking, including paying better fees for our crew, assisting with post-production costs, and helping with our community casting costs. If any new donors have discovered this page and wish to contribute before 11pm we would of course love any additional support at all.

Nā reira, he aroha mutunga kore ki a koutou katoa.

We've had more than 250 generous donors already (an extra 50 in the last day or so) supporting this project and we can't believe we have raised more than $13,000 just from our community and wider networks!

If you can help us find the last 33% we need to get over the line, we would love that and love you forever. Donations can be from anywhere in the world and every bit counts as this is an all or nothing campaign.

Please share, tag, spread the word with us!

Tēnā rawa atu koutou - thank you to everyone who has donated, shared, commented, talked about, and sent messages of support to us for this project over our first week of the campaign. It's been an overwhelming, humbling, and emotional experience and we are learning to open ourselves up to receiving your aroha and support.

We know there is a massive challenge ahead to reach 100% of our goal though, so if you have any friends, whānau, or even kind strangers you think might be interested in supporting our project, please give us a boost by sharing this with those people. Kia tau te rangimarie ki runga i a tātou, aroha nui.
