Bring It On

A cracking good night last night with potential investors, friends and associated gate-crashers! The odd glass of bubbly put us in the right frame of mind for an overview of the movie, kicked off by veteran producer Tim Sanders, double BAFTA winner. He compared Moon to Whale Rider which he produced, and talked up the international prospects of our film.

Then it was over to moi to run through a sampler of Gillies Mackinnon's directorial work, the DVD promo for Moon and a powerpoint presentation of the way the film and its financing is to be structured. After a time of questions, we gave opportunity for people to register their investment interest. We received indications for about $250k, which is half way there.

A good result given that we've still got quite a few months to go to get the target. Perhaps more important was the huge sense of encouragement coming from the 50 or so gathered there as they caught the vision and excitement of the project. Afterwards we ducked out to a very good Italian restaurant with friends for a celebratory meal.
