26.01.14 - 5 days left!

We are now nearly at the 10k mark! The campaign is picking up momentum.  This week alone, we got public support from Edin Dzeko and Aleksandar Hrsum  via their public and personal profiles and twitter accounts.  That alone, tripled our viewership in half a day.

David McWilliams has offered to have us speak on his upcoming broadcast in 5 weeks.  Hub Dot London will feature us as a guest speaker at their event in February.  We got published on Klix.ba and are in the midst of an interview that is to be published on Avaz.ba next week.  We are receiving a lot of interest from film festivals worldwide and the international community... all of this before the film is even finished! 

Provided we hit our kickstarter target- John Mister is ready to start the final 5-6 week edit on the 3rd of February. We are lucky to have his expertise and talent on board. Taylor McKenzie have started work on the opening titles, while Nedim & Leo from Basheskia are continuously working on a unique soundtrack for the film.

If you haven't already, please do share this Kickstarter link with all your friends, family and contacts.  We greatly appreciate your support.
