**Incoming Shopping For Superman Update**

THIS WEEK, we are officially locking picture which means the edit will be done. Crazy, I know. We will be sending the film off to our amazing audio designer/mixer and then rebuilding the entire film in DaVinci Resolve. (It's not as insane as it sounds.) This way our colorist can handle his workflow much more easily AND if we need to make changes in the future it's a simple process for me.

If any of that went over your head, don't worry. All you need to know is that everything is going great!

So far, we've submitted a work in progress to 11 film festivals, with another four lined up for this almost but not quite done cut.

Festivals we've applied to so far are: Sundance, Slamdance, Big Sky, Athens International, Cinequest, Brussels, Atlanta, Tribeca, San Francisco International, Cinema Columbus, Atlanta Docufest.

Those submissions and our progress to date is 100% due to your generous contributions and ongoing support.

There's still a lot left to do and some truly amazing updates remain because I don’t want to spoil the surprise.

Our current timeline has Shopping for Superman in line to be 100% wrapped and in the can by November 29th. Happy Thanksgiving, indeed.

As always, thanks for your support and interest and I'll have more updates for you soon!

Stephen Krystek is one of those artists that can't be easily defined. "Talented" barely covers it, "dedicated" falls short, "a monstrous aberration of creative delights" is... well, that's weird... Okay, let me start over...

I'm beyond pleased and honored to count Stephen as a friend and as a collaborator in Shopping For Superman. As someone I've known for nearly 10 years, he's never been without a kind word of support or unwilling to grab a beer and a bite and swap freelancer war stories.

His abilities as an artist, designer, and animator are unparalleled and he's bringing those skills to the Shopping For Superman team.
Check out his website at: https://stephenkrystek.com/ to see some of his incredible work!

And if you haven't already made a pledge to our Kickstarter page, it only takes a couple of minutes! https://bit.ly/4cN5gAo

One of my favorite parts of this film was an early interview with incredible talent and absolute mensch, Phil LaMarr

We drove down to WonderCon and proceeded to sweat our collective butts off for the chance to chat with one of the greats.

Entirely worth it.

Curious what Phil had to say? Check out our Kickstarter https://bit.ly/4cN5gAo when it goes live on August 20th and give us your support so we can get this movie finished and delivered to you!

We'll have some great incentives and rewards so head over and sign up to be notified when we go live. Every dollar and fresh set of eyes helps within those first 24 hours!

Now that our interviews have officially wrapped (crazy, right?) I can share this candid pic, snapped by the uber-talented Karl Michael Allsop in the office of Kuo-Yu Liang in Seattle, WA.

Ku sits on the board of the incredible group Book Industry Charitable Foundation and had no shortage of amazing talking points when asked why Binc thinks comic book shops are worth supporting.

Binc is a Michigan-based organization committed to (and I'm stealing from their website for brevity) Helping booksellers and comic sellers through life’s emergencies like domestic violence, funeral, natural disaster, mental health, housing stability, serious medical expense, and utility shut-off prevention.

It's a lot of fun to be doing these chats virtually but my presence is sometimes, shall we say, diminished? Oh well, at least I get an apple box!

An amazing group and an amazing talk. Thanks Ku for taking the time!

Remember to sign up to our Kickstarter's pre-launch page to be notified when we go live on August 20th! Those first 24 hours are a crucial time for us to get any donation, no matter how big or small to get a boost from Kickstarter's algorithm to get these funds raised!

After two months of editing we have nearly an hour and a half of movie ready for the next stage of the post-production process. Graphics, animation, color correction, e.g., it’s not a short list. Believe it or not, it actually goes pretty fast, when you have the right team.

We have an amazing team.

Beginning August 20th, we’ll be launching a Kickstarter campaign with the aim of raising funds for the final leg of post-production, film festival submissions, and an awareness campaign to get this film sold.

Timing is everything.

By visiting https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/shop4supedoc/shopping-for-superman will take you to our Kickstarter pre-launch page where you can sign up to be notified when we go live. If you plan to contribute or promote this project the best way to support us is by doing so on day one. Kickstarter’s algorithm helps to promote projects that get an early response, so no matter how much we raise, if we have a significant number of backers, it will really help us out.

We’ll be sending out reminders via our social media pages and doing our utmost to avoid spamming your inboxes. This is a crucial step to help us get this project entirely wrapped and out into the world where it can do some good.

We’re looking to raise $30k to cover:

Motion Graphics Creation/Animation
Sound Mixing/Sound Design
Color Correction
Original Score
End Credits
Legal Costs
Film Festival Submissions
Marketing/Awareness Campaign

We’re almost to the finish line.

It’s been a long road with no shortage of hurdles but this project is an important one and I can’t wait to share it with you.
