Update on Billi & Theodore

Hello all.

So, I have an announcement to make about Billi & Theodore that may disappoint some, but we at Short Pictures Independent feel very positive and excited about this. I have decided to push the start date on production back a few months to early 2011. Now, I know we pushed it back once already, back when we were really gunning for a December 2009 start date. However, in this situation, it was more my choice to push it back instead of being forced to push it back because of lack of funds.

Let me explain. I have someone very close to me who believes in me and wants to support me willing to invest some money into the project to make this thing happen. However, they can't do said investing until early next year. Seeing that some of our leads on investors are dragging their feet and our Kickstarter page is moving at a trickle, it only makes sense to delay our start date to a time where we know we'll have some money to do it.

On that same note, I have also decided to kill our Kickstarter page to make the move over to Indiegogo. The positives to this decision are based upon the fact that whatever you raise through Indiegogo, you get to keep. There isn't a silly time limit and it isn't all or nothing. This makes me feel a lot better about it. If we only end up raising $2,000 of our overall goal, at least we get to keep it and put it towards the film! I hope everyone who has pledged a donation will take the time to "transfer" said donation to the Indiegogo page found here:

To those of you who have pledged, you will be receiving a personal message from me explaining the situation and I hope it will persuade you to take the time to give the amount you intended to give on our Indiegogo page.

So, yeah, things are looking up! It finally seems as if this movie is happening, but not exactly when we imagined it. That's the movie industry though, unfortunately.

I hope everyone will continue their support for this project and will continue to help us try to make this dream of ours a reality.

Thanks for reading.
