Dear Loyal Backers,

We’ve reached a turning point in our campaign with the inclusion of Daniel Berilla not only in our cast, but as our marketing director for the rest of the campaign. We hit the town last night and Daniel was stopped and scanned a number of times, generating some new interest and backers for “Guys Reading Poems.”

The results speak for themselves. The last 48 hours have seen us rise to 182 backers! And that’s not all….

Our star Alexander Dreymon (“American Horror Story”) and Daniel will both serve as hosts of another fundraiser for “Guys Reading Poems,” this time at a super cool wine bar. We’ve got some very special treats for our backers, so stay tuned for the details on the event! You won’t be disappointed. So SAVE THE DATE – Friday, April 11th, 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Look out for our next update – not only are we determined to cross 200 backers, we’ll also be releasing the first version of the “Guys Reading Poems” one-sheet, designed by the incredible graphic artist Chris Friend, who’s also a filmmaker and musician. We can’t wait to share it with you!

As always, the most important part of our update is our huge THANK YOU to our new backers. Welcome to our team and the adventure of indie cinema….
