Hello There Friends,
One of the best parts of Kickstarter is having a real dialogue with you as we make this film. One of the message that I head several times was that people wanted little Frank & Zed items. So, I am thrilled to introduce our Frank & Zed enamel pins. I hope you like them! (Fyi - we are still polishing the design)
Every shot, prop, and character in Frank & Zed starts out as a wish; a deep desire I have for something to become a reality.
One of those wishes came true yesterday when I three of my favorite musicians signed on for Frank & Zed. I am still confirming the details but it looks like we will have world class musicians creating original music for Frank & Zed.
At long last, Murder Village is beginning to take shape. I've been gathering reference photos and material for all of the houses, shops, and other structures within our cursed town.
We are in our final 72 hours for the Kickstarter campaign. We have had such a tremendous response. Thank you everyone for joining in on this leg.
Best,
Jesse

Other Cool Stuff:
Will Vinton Doc needs your help! Super Cool project that is nearing its funding goal. Check them out. (I mentioned this one before but it's worth shouting out again.)
Hi There Everyone,
I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween weekend and are resting up to rustle-up fresh candy tomorrow.
In some exciting news, a generous backer has agreed to match all donations made today up to $1,000.
So, if you are thinking of grabbing that extra Blu-Ray, Hoodie, or Film Prop today would be an awesome day to do it.
I've set aside 10 of my favorite props from the film as rewards. Each of these are unique items that are a key part of the story. We'll also include a still of them from the film signed by the Director, Sculptor, and Lead Puppeteer.
Notes:
I will be talking about how we made the sets, props, and puppets. Plus, I'll answer any questions you have. Feel free to comment or message me with questions and I'll answer them on the show.
I am very excited to be talking to Sci-Fi-Sci-Earth this Friday. Please join in the fun here.
Work on the movie continues. We are gearing up to shoot the Spider from a recent update tomorrow.
Thank you so much for your support,
Best,
Jesse
