Dear Friends of Tokyo Cowboys,
I hope this update finds you healthy and happy. I apologize for not being in touch with ya’ll for a while, but things have been busy on the Tokyo Cowboys frontier.
Since my last missive, Patrick and I have been working steadily towards the first cut, and we are right on target for our July 31st deadline. The structure is finally coming together, and I can see a big super nova at the end of the tunnel.
Thanks to the kindness of two of our initial investors, we are FULLY FUNDED! There are no more Tokyo Cowboys shares available for purchase. (You can, however, get them off investors for a much higher price than the original. We plan to be trading on the LSE soon.) This last push will take the project through to completion. If you are an investor and do not have a contract or a Certificate of Ownership, which includes an official Japanese inkan stamp, please email me.
I am steadily working on the marketing plan, however much it takes a back seat to the editing. As you know, until a big fish comes along and swallows us whole, we are marketing as an independent film without all the big studio muscle. That means grass roots efforts. I would like to ask all of you to be on the lookout for festivals, grants, news or grass roots’ marketing ideas. If you see anything in whatever you’re reading or watching that might help us to get Tokyo Cowboys to market, please email it along.
As always, I will be posting as vigorously as possible on the Tokyo Cowboys Blog (www.tokyocowboys.blogspot.com). We will also be uploading new clips to the website as we cut them (but not too much…we don’t want to give away the ending!).
Thank you for continuing to support us with all of your emails, calls, visits and efforts.
Hugs,
Daneeta
Director/Producer
