New Kickstarter Update! https://kickstarter/projects/filmferrania/100-more-years-of-analog-film/posts/1014919 Ciao a Tutti! We apologize for the delayed response - things have been hectic in Italy the past few days. And now weve blown past the goal and pledges keep rolling in - its truly amazing! The Next Two Weeks With your continued support here on Kickstarter, we will now be able to purchase Trixie, Walter and Big Boy. The next step after the purchase is to incorporate these machines into our workflow. We have a plan to do this gradually over time, without interrupting our ability to produce film for sale - but with additional funding, that time can be reduced. Our plan is to rebuild Trixie into our workflow first. Every dollar above our original goal will be used directly for this purpose. The triacetate base is the most critical part of making film - and it is increasingly difficult to purchase from other sources. We have enough film remaining in our first batch to double our original goal, but this would require nearly double the backers - a feat that would be somewhat unprecedented for a Kickstarter campaign. Can we draw in another 3000+ backers? We think this is up to you! If each of you convince just one more person to back our project, then we will sell out of this first batch of film and have the additional funding necessary to drastically reduce our overall timeline. Speaking of Rewards... A few astute backers pointed out that our math on the two FilmBurner Rewards was not consistent with other rewards. Unfortunately, we cannot change the price of the reward - but we can add more film to it. Were happy to announce that both FilmBurner rewards now include 12 rolls of film! Weve also added a brand new reward - the DoubleBurner that includes 12 each of 35mm and 120 for those who have requested big bundles. Also due to popular request, we have added some experience-based rewards we think you may enjoy. Each has a few rules and restrictions, so please take the time to read the full reward description on the main project page. Experience #1 - Naming Rights Backing this reward gives you the option to name a room in our factory. In addition, you can choose any 3 rewards of $300 or less. Experience #2 - Private Screening With this reward, you will receive a private screening of a classic Italian masterpiece shot on Ferrania film for you and 9 of your friends, in one of 5 global cities. In addition, you may also choose any 4 rewards of $500 or less. Experience #3 - Super 8 Event Nicola Baldini will film your special event on first-batch Super 8. At the end of the event, you will be presented with the actual camera Nicola uses, plus 10 Super 8 cartridges of your own. Nicola will edit your movie and deliver a 10-15 minute final digital file, as well as the original stock for your archives. Each of these rewards offers a unique experience, and we will take great care to make them personal and memorable. If you have questions before pledging, please message us. New Languages On our website, we have added a number of translations of our main Kickstarter text - Italian, Russian, French, Japanese and Chinese (Traditional and Mandarin). Spanish is on the way... If anyone would like to volunteer their time to do a translation, please message us - we have a Word doc to send you. Once again, many thanks to every single one of you who have supported this project. - The FILM Ferrania Team
