Meeting Backers!

Taking a break from the more serious side of filmmaking, this afternoon Damien, Graham and myself and a few of our friends from OTTfilms went down to the Guerilla Film Barbeque at Ealing Studios hosted by Chris Jones and Judy Goldberg to have a burger and a drink and meet some of the Clowning Around backers.

We've had some huge support from people backing the project and sharing/spreading word so to just get to say hey and give a personal thanks to people, to talk about the work we're doing and tell them what we have planned and also to take an interest in their work and projects was great. So very nice to get to meet people in person within such a relaxed environment.

Films, like any other business (and in some ways like no other business) are all about people. Connecting with people, communicating with people and understanding things from a particular person or persons point of view. What our conversations today taught us was that people not only love what we're doing with the film project but people like what we're doing with the funding campaign, the perks we've offered and the work we've put in to give people something fun and informative and worthwhile for their trust in us. It's good to hear and it's good to meet some interesting and lovely people with projects and plans of their own.

The burgers and sunshine were kind of nice too! *:o)
