The Climate Canary

Kia ora koutou | hi everyone,

We are absolutely delighted to publicly announce that our film has been officially selected for DocEdge Festival right here in Aotearoa New Zealand this June/July.  And BIG news - we have a new name! Formerly known as The Climate Canary, the film is now titled Mighty Indeed.  This new name fits beautifully - our participants are mighty, the work they do is mighty and the mightiest continent of all is, of course, Antarctica.  

Thanks so much for all your support - I do hope you can make it along to see the film you helped to create!

BOOKINGS OPEN NOW!

Get in quick - limited screenings in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, and in August online (NZ only).

Over the next month we will transfer this list from Boosted to Elanti Media's mailing list, so that we can update you all as we head out into the world.

Ngā mihi nui,

Vanessa, Polly and the whole team

We are delighted to announce that Earth Sea Sky and the wonderful team at this local New Zealand company are matching donations up to $10,000! Like us, Earth Sea Sky are purpose driven, and strive to be the best, not the biggest. We literally lived in their gear while in Antarctica, and they provide the Extreme Cold Weather clothing for Antarctica NZ, RNZAF, RNZN, NIWA and the Australian Antarctica Division. We are very grateful for their support - thank you!

Hi everyone, we are overwhelmed and blown away with the support so far! 

EARTH SEA SKY - you have been incredible - thank you! We have made the most of every bit of your match sponsorship :)

We are now into the final push - 9 days to go, and if anyone else wants to become a match sponsor - sing out - we'd love to have you on the team! (btw - our sponsors join us for the long haul - Earth Sea Sky are partners now right through to the premiere, and we will give back as much love as possible <3 ). 

Special thank you to all those anonymous donors that we can't thank personally - we are deeply grateful!

Help us keep spreading the word - via instagram, LinkedIn and whatever blue-sky-tweeting you like to do :)  We will get there, with your help - not far to go now, thank you again!!

We made it! You did it - we did it - collectively we have reached the target and we will get a rough cut for this wonderful film! Thank you so much!!!

From here, any extra dollars we can raise will go to the animation and music budget - which we want to knock out of the park, and make this film a special experience. We believe doco should entertain as well as inform, so watch this space - yeehah - we are on our way!!

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
