Project Updates

We made it!!! Latui has got the Moana x Boosted Crowdfunding!!!

Vinaka vakalevu for so much kindness and generosity. 

We are really humbled by the outpouring of support we've recieved.

Our film deals with infertility/ the IVF journey, and I was really moved by the women who reached out to say they had experiences similar journeys. It's such a gift.

Also we have so many supporters who are poets, artists, writers or film-makers - our wonderful beloved arts community - but it's especially meaningful because it's such a struggle. We see you.

Vinaka vakalevu to our friends and family that have done the hard yards on this one. We hope you'll be really proud of our film. 

Loloma,

Tulia and Craig

One day to go!

Vinaka vakalevu to everyone who has donated and shared our Boosted campaign for Latui.

We have been really moved by your messages of encouragement and generosity.

With one day left in in the campaign we are sitting at 93% with $1,305 we still need to raise.

It's an all-or-nothing campaign so we need to raise the full amount in order to receive any of the funding.

Please share the campaign and let people know we have one day left to reach our goal.

Vinaka vakalevu, we couldn't complete this journey without you.

Craig and Tulia.

Latui is 77% funded, please share our campaign.

Vinaka vakalevu and thank so much dor donating to our crowdfunding campaign for Latui!

It's really lovely to see our friends and supporters get behind this project. 

We are 77% funded with 3 days to go on the campaign. We still need to raise just over $4,000.

Boosted is an all or nothing campaign, meaning we only get the funding if we raise the full amount.

Please share the campaign with people you know, we really need help getting over the line. 

Sharing the campaign widely is the best way to help us get there.

Every little bit helps.

Thanks again,

Craig and Tulia.

Latui reaches 70% with 9 Days to Go!

Bula vinaka, 

vinaka vakalevu to all of our amazing donors. We have reached 70% towards our funding goal of $18,000. It's been really amazing to read your messages of support.

Boosted Moana have kindly extended our campaign by a week (because of unforeseen personal circumstances). This means we have 9 days to go instead of 2 days.

Please if you can, take the time to share the campaign with people you know, every little bit helps.

Campaign Update - 04 April 2025

Bula vinaka,

Thanks for donating to our Moana Boosted campaign for Latui. It’s been wonderful to feel so supported by our communities.

We are now in the final six days of crowdfunding and are at 41%, and Boosted is an all-or-nothing platform, so that means we must reach our target of $18,000 to receive the funds that have been donated so far.

Please take the time to share our campaign with our people who might be interested in donating. Every dollar that comes through towards our goal and every time someone shares the crowdfunding campaign video is a step towards getting our film completed and in front of audiences.

Thanks for all the support so far, we're incredibly lucky to have such a great pool of supporters behind us.

Vinaka vakalevu,

Tulia Thompson and Craig Parkes



 

Latui Short Film Boosted Update

Vinaka vakalevu to all of you who have donated to our Boosted Moana campaign to finish our short film Latui.

We have now raised $6200 from 34 generous donors - and are at 34% of our target of $18,000 with 12 days remaining on our campaign.

Thanks so much for believing in our film, and helping to make this possible.

Boosted is an 'all-or-nothing' campaign, meaning that we need to raise the target of $18,000 in order to get the donations.

Please, if possible, could you please share our campaign with people who might be interested.

Thanks again for your support, it's been incredibly heart-warming seeing your messages of support.
