Hey Friends,
Just a quick reminder. Most of you have completed your survey from Backerkit. Thank you! I know this can be an annoying bit of work to add to your day.
Name in the credits? Survey Needed!
If you have a reward level that gets your name in the credits and have NOT yet completed your survey, please do! I am VERY excited to get all of your names into the credits but need the surveys completed to get started. If you can't find your survey, let me know and I'll get it figured out for you.
Your survey will look kind of like this when opened!
Non-Disc Rewards Shipping Soon
As soon as the surveys are done, I plan to ship rewards with the exception of Blu-Rays and DVDs. My apologies for the extra wait on those. I need to do quite a bit of work authoring special features, etc. I hope you can continue to be patient with me. Note: Storyboards and Medallions will be shipped with discs. (I have discovered that shipping can be VERY expensive so have to consolidate these items. Again, my apologies!)
Backerkit Pre-Orders Shipping Soon (Hopefully!)
For anyone that purchased extra stuff on Backerkit (T-shirts, Enamel Pins, etc) I'm also waiting to get the last surveys completed so I can ship those. Again, sorry for the delay, the Kickstarter/Backerkit framework can be challenging to work with. I have been in contact with them and I am trying to workout a way to make things move faster for you.
Shadowboxes almost sold out!
Seven of the 10 shadowboxes are sold! Thank you. It's been so fun putting these together and I can't wait to get them out to everyone! There are three left if you want to snag one!
Lastly, if you missed Frank & Zed fest, DM and I will try and sneak you a link to the film! I want you all to see it.
Thanks so much!
Jesse

Hey Dear Friends!
Well, what did you think? So many of you watched the film this weekend and I got lots of GREAT notes about how much you liked it. Thank you!
"Just finished watching my kickstarter link for the full film. It was everything i expected, it was so damn amazing. I loved every second of it, and it was well worth the many years of waiting!" -Dale
Review Frank & Zed on IMDB and Letterboxd!
There are a couple places online that you can 'Rate/Vote" Frank & Zed! This is a great way to support the film is adding a review and a rating yourself.
My very first storyboards for Frank & Zed are HUGE. This was when I was really taking time and drawing everything exactly as I wanted it. I've created 10 shadowboxes that feature one of the very first Frank & Zed storyboards, a hunk of the castle and Frank's metal lightning rod, and a bit of the brains that Zed eats. All screen-used! I'll sign and number each one and include a bonus signed standard storyboard card as well.
Lastly, most of you have completed your backer surveys - Thank you! Anyone who hasn't, check your email for a contact from Backerkit. This survey gives you a chance to check your order, address, and name in the credits among other things.
Note: Purchases made on Backerkit have not yet been charged. Backerkit forces me to charge all cards at once, so I haven't done it yet. FYI I plan to charge cards for any add-ons purchased on Wednesday.
Whewf! That was a BIG update.
Thanks for sticking with me through it all!

Frank & Zed Fest Schedule!

Hey Friends!
Tomorrow is the day!
Screener links SHOULD start arriving by the middle of the day. I have never done this before so please be patient. There shouldn't be any errors but sometimes things happen.Links will come to you via Indee.tv so check your spam folder if you don't have them,
You will be able to watch the film Friday - Sunday. You can only start it twice though. If you hit a snag, just let me know.
Credits - Your credits are not yet in the film. Many of you have filled out the surveys. I'll use these to complete the final credits
Watermarks: The screeners will be watermarked. This is pretty annoying but the only way I could get the film to you. I apologize ahead of time for this. Again, not ideal but I hope you can look past it. For what it's worth, this is how all movies get screened to critics SO it's kind of like you're all a bit extra fancy!
ExtraTickets & Stuff! We're still trying to raise some finishing funds for the film. If you have friends that might like the movie, please direct them HERE to grab tickets!
FestStuff! Here are the events we have planned for the fest. Again, I've never done this before so please be patient if we have some technical issues. Right now, we are planning on doing everything via Facebook. My apologies if you've cut the cord on social media; we may find a way to get you recordings afterwards.
BackerkitBackers Note: You will likely receive this update late. Again, I'm sorry. The way the updates cycle through Kickstarter and Backerkit can cause big delays. If this has compromised your experience, let me know and I will make it right!
