Just wanted to express a heartfelt thanks to everyone who backed the project and is now an ongoing part of this film.  Your desire to move this project along pushed us over the top and got us funding.  So thank you.  We feel very lucky and excited to be moving forward with this.

The last week or so has been pretty crazy finalizing arrangements on the other side of the pond with the folks at Topografie before leaving on Sunday.  That’s right, plane leaves Sunday afternoon and we should be filming by early next week.  So, this thing is moving.  Progress is happening.

Throughout my time over in Poland, I’ll be posting updates here and on the DETROIT LIVES! website (http://detroitlives.org/).  I’ll be returning to the states on June 20, and filming here in Detroit will begin in late July, early August.

So, stay tuned and thanks once again for your support.  This wouldn’t be happening without you!
