That's a wrap!
Thank you to all our incredible cast and crew for bringing this film to life with us and, of course, thank you to all the generous Boosted supporters who made it all possible!
We're now in the edit with material that we're all very proud of, and we can't wait to share the final film with you all in the near future!

1 day to go with 10% left!
We've been blown away by the support we've received for this project over the last few weeks, so thank you so much to everyone who has been part of the journey so far!
We now have one day left and 10% still to go.
Boosted works on an all or nothing approach, so if we don't hit our target we get $0 and all funds are returned to the donors. So please help us reach our goal and get this film out into the world!
Every donation, big or small, is hugely appreciated.
P.s. For the business savvy readers out there, donations qualify for a 33% tax credit.
