Ahe' hee'! Thank you to everyone who contributed to our quick crowdfunding campaign. We raised $1,385 of our $2,000 goal to pay for roof repair. We can still accept donations we're just not offering the crowdfunding rewards. Thanks again and now we're looking forward to getting our edit studio renovated so we can make more films and hold more workshops!
