Happy New Year Ty’s List supporters!

We are so grateful to have you for the start of 2014. We promise this year will be an exciting one for all of us. Ty’s List will be completed and sent to film festivals this May—and we have you to thank! We still have a ways to go and have started fundraising again (read the last paragraph if you're interested in helping out.) Updates below!

NEXT CUT:

Roland Smith (our Director of Photography, Producer and one of our Editors) just pushed out another cut of the film, and we’re REALLY happy with it.  We can see final product ahead of us, and with the right work ethic and focus, we’re confident that we can deliver a final product sooner than later.

OFFICE SPACE:

To help us along, we’ve been working everyday at Next Door Cafe in Lakeview, Chicago.  We’ll have an official announcement about this soon!

NEW WEBSITE AND TRAILER:

All the credit goes to Melissa Sobin for completely revamping our website, which is also home to our new Ty’s List teaser! Check it out: www.tyslist-themovie.com

ANIMATOR:

We are days away from hiring a new animator for the film. We are so excited to bring on a talented artist to help tell the Ty’s List story in a fun and clear way.

FUTURE FILMMAKING:

We have been in talks with some awesome people and there may be an opportunity to take a lot of the themes and ideas expressed in Ty’s List to a wider audience.  Stay tuned folks….

HELPING US FINISH THE FILM:

We have relied heavily on the financial support of our community members to get to this point and we could not be more thankful. We are currently at a point in post-production where we will need additional funds in order to complete the project. We can see the finish line, but need your help to get to the end! If you would like to donate to the film here are a couple ways to do it:
