We start filming our first episode this weekend with an inspiring young man from Whakatane, and are reaching out to our networks to cast the tamariki / rangatahi that we will feature in our other episodes that we will film through late June / July. We have some great leads and if you know of anyone in the Bay of Plenty rohe who could be a great subject for an episode please let us know.4 Weeks to go on the campaign and still a lot of mahi to be done to reach our target so your continued support is vital to help share this campaign to others that can help.Thank you again and againKylie, Anton, Malachi, Judah and Ezra

We wanted to let you all know that we are well underway now with our edit (about half way through) and things are progressing beautifully! Being a small edit team means Emma is doing ALL the things. (Note: I've moved the chocolate that is sustaining us both, out of shot of the selfie! We should approach Whittakers for sponsorship!!)Emma and I are thoroughly enjoying working with the beautiful footage captured by Adam Jones, Ollie Logan, Antz Powell and our other contributors - it's such a treat to be telling this story! We couldn't have done it without you, and we can't wait to share it with you all :) Vanessa

Great News!!A wonderful philanthropist has stepped up to match donations up to $10k for our stretch goal campaign, and help us to raise the funds we need to create some fabulous animations for our rough cut! We are just blown away to see such generous support of the arts and science, sparked from our Seven Sharp interview. Many of our donations have come following this interview - and if you have supplied your email address we will be in touch, but if not - please accept this as a personal thanks from us all at Elanti. We can't do it without you, and we are very grateful - THANK YOU!!Please follow us on social media and share our posts to help us reach the final goal - we are on our way to the finish line!
