Hello Everyone,

As many have you have messaged me about...surprise! Your physical perks have been sent and have either arrived or any day now will do! (Both the 2021 and 2022 campaign posters)

That’s right, we finally managed to set aside 2 days and with the amazing help of my Girlfriend Marie we set about the task of un-packing the hundreds of posters and organising them all to be sent to everyone from BOTH the 2021 and 2022 campaigns.

So, everyone who ordered a poster, they were sent on October the 17th so they should all either be with you or arrive any day now should arrive.

While this is good news, we have some more good news and some unfortunate bad news.

Good news, we sent everyone BONUS posters for free, as a giant thank you for supporting us. Everyone got at least 1 free poster but several of you got more...some got a whole set of free ones!! Thank you!

The bad news is we entirely failed to properly calculate the potage and packaging cost. We quoted £5 per sending...which is what it had been years ago when we did another larger Indiegogo. This time, poster tubes inside the UK were £5.50...and between £17.00 - £22.00 aboard. (We only had 4 UK postages)

In total we spent £604 on postage (Plus then printing the posters and tubes which adds up when you send out hundreds of posters). I’d guess we made a £400 ($485 USD) loss on the physical prints on postage alone based on what we quoted. That equates to multiple costumes or a weekend shoot with an actor+ some left over. Not what we had expected, and given we are still at a massive loss when it comes to overall budget for the productions, it will have to go onto the next indiegogo budget.

We are THRILLED to finally get everyone’s posters out...and a huge variety out, but yes! Quite a thing to do!

We do now have a system and process AND hundreds of posters left, so the next campaign we will be able to send out very quickly we think!

We would love to see that the posters have arrived safe and sound and hear what you all think so...post a comment here or email us directly (At the personal email I have sent out perk details from) and we would love to see them!

The whole cast and crew are very proud of these posters and we hope you enjoy them just as much!

Thank you!

Samuel Cockings
