Project Updates
DAY 3 and we are half way there!
Kia ora koutou,
Wow, we are so immensely grateful for all the support we've already received just three days in... AMAZING we have already hit the halfway mark! What a great achievement team.
It's also been moving reading your personal messages and nice to hear how some of you identify with our character's story.
Caroline and her son Amos celebrated today by walking halfway up the Godley Head. Check out their video below.

Down syndrome Awareness Month
October is Down syndrome Awareness Month which is all about raising awareness and celebrating the many abilities of our loved ones with down syndrome. In that spirit here's Caroline's son, Amos, sharing his trampolining skills, followed by a second video of Briar’s son Esteban rocking it out on the drums. See if you can work out what he’s playing…
12 HOURS LEFT
Kia ora everyone. We just wanted to say again, a big THANK YOU for helping us get to our final campaign day! Donations will close at midnight today - and so far we have already made more than half our STRETCH GOAL of $20k which is absolutely AMAZING. To celebrate and keep the momentum up, we wanted to share a little video we made with Sirena Sherriff, who is the mother of our lead child actor Susannah Grace. Sirena is an inspiring mother of four and has been absolutely amazing to work with. She trusted us throughout the entire filmmaking process and traveled with her whanau from Hawkes Bay to Auckland for the film shoot. We couldn't have done it without her and her captivating daughter Susannah Grace, who is truly the star of the show.

But let's not forget we wouldn’t be at this landmark moment if it wasn’t for you guys! Thanks to your support we managed to finish this project and get it out to festivals. Thank you again for your belief in our project. Now is the most exciting part - sharing it with audiences.
I am very nervous and excited, the message in this film has a deep personal connection to me. My wish is for it to find a place in other people's hearts and minds too.
Do reach out if you can come to one of our screenings. We would love to know what you think.
Thanks again for your support.
Briar & Caroline
