The BitterSuite Kickstarter has ended

So. We did it. 

We’re making BitterSuite.

One-hundred and ninety-one people have made this possible – and raised an astonishing £11,448. We’re humbled by your generosity, your belief in us, and the love BitterSuite has received. We’re going to do everything we can to make the film live up to the love that has gone into funding it.

There’s nothing more to say other than ‘Thank-You’ – from now on we’ve gotta speak through our actions…

…which means actually making BitterSuite.  Something we’re scheduled to start doing on the 12th August - eek.

As of next week we’re going to give blog posting privileges to every single member of the cast & crew, so hopefully you’ll get an fully rounded view of the production as it unfolds – it should be an interesting, and pretty candid, look into the DOG BUTTON process.

(Oh, and if you haven’t already please ‘like’ us on Facebook, and‘follow’ us on Twitter! There’s always stuff going on…)

In other reward based news we’re going to be filming the ‘Toast Your Generosity’ video at 2am on Thursday morning, so look out for that on Thursday evening – we have 101 people to toast, so we’re going to do a shot of beer for every one of them. It ain’t gonna be pretty, but hopefully you’ll see the love in it! 

Also, we still have 63 Vines to make, so we’ll be making those over the next week – keep your eyes out for them on the DOG BUTTON Vine profile page. 

With that, we’ll sign off – running a Kickstarter has been one of the most rewarding things we have ever done, every single pledge has made our tiny hearts skip a beat, and every day has been full of tiny struggles and victories. 

Thank you all for making it worthwhile, and making BitterSuite happen.

Ps. Breaking from the lovey-dovey nature of the post though, we’ve gotta be honest – it was also absolutely exhausting running this campaign. We got this photo snapped just as we hit the end of the Kickstarter – as you can see we're full of beans.

Teasing a Kickstarter campaign... Day 7

12 DAYS UNTIL KICKSTARTER LAUNCH

Today's reveal is... this!

This blog!

on and on and on and on and on and on

I'd say that if you're new here (and that's 100% of you!) the place to start is with the first post. In it I talk about what this blog will be, and what it won't.

(Cliff notes version; it's gonna be raw, non-party line individual views, and not a slick media outlet - this is where everyone working on BitterSuite will have a place to post whatever they feel like.)

Hopefully the blog will be a fun and informative look at what happens when you try to crowd fund budget for a £11,000 first time feature, and what subsequently happens when you try to make it.

It's gonna get messy.

PS. Jan and I are having a rehearsal with Cordelia and Sarah today, so look for some posts on how it all went, and what we got up to, in the near future - to tide you over here's an unused poster still of the gang hanging out on the sofa.
