idk if you’re like a huge nerd, but our director (and truly one of my improv idols) Alex Fernie is (and so am I to be honest), and he put together a list of his influences for The Greatest Treasure in the World (which is crowdfunding now, did you know? bit.ly/treasurefilm) that I’m going to post at the bottom of this email.
We are also streaming a conversation about our first shoot and screening some ~bonus secret footage~ today at 2pm! Join us on youtube!
So if you’re a huge nerd, this email is great news for you.
Hello and thank you to the 1,270 of you who have supported the Greatest Treasure In The World so far! We’ve gotten the “green light” from Seed&Spark and raised over $100k… literal record-breaking speed.
There are so many people on this rad email list! If you haven’t supported the film yet — you don’t have to! There are way more people on this list than we need to make the movie awesome. But if you are able to support the film… and be the one in 10 or so who we need to hit our goal… We’ve got news for you!
We’ve added a new $15 reward — deleted scenes! For a limited time only… check out the (lots and lots) of improv that we’ll leave on the “cutting room floor.” There will be stuff you can only get this way… so do it!
We’ve also added more signed scripts! But just a few… so get in there!
We’ve also added… ANGELA GIARRATANA. Her character idea is bonkers and we’re real real real real excited to add this all-star to the experience.
Hi everyone I’m feeling bashful about needing to ask for people to sign up for things and buy tickets to my show so I’ve asked Laser to do an impression of me and write the rest of this email.
Hi everyone, I’m Izzy and I’m great. Did you know I have a show that is not a podcast but a lot of people think is a podcast? It’s called Comfort Watch, and it’s a thing where my friends tell me which videos bring them comfort and I judge them in front of an audience. It’s great and it’s happening tuesday! Get a live or livestream ticket so I am not alone. Thank you.
Speaking of things that are hard to do, I am going to ask you for money to fund my NEW FEATURE FILM. Did you know that statistically many people do not make feature films because it’s hard to do and extremely expensive? That’s true and I learned it from the newspaper.
there’s no easy way to say this…i’m just a woman, covered in barf, asking you to please click “follow” on this campaign. I wish I wasn’t this covered in barf and I wish I didn’t need to beg for a minimal click on a campaign, but I am this covered in barf and the followsare that important.
you have to click follow and make the follower number go up and yes you might have to log in
one person on reddit who DIDN’T hurt my feelings asked, appropriately and poignantly, “why does izzy have to keep asking fans to pay for her movies instead of getting studios to make them?” to them I say, 1) enjoy your downvotes, BITCH! and 2) DRAG ME!!! and ALSO 3) I have bad news about how fans watch any movie in or tv once they come out.
We hope you have been enjoying D(e)ad, which can be rented and purchased from places like Apple and Amazon and Google and other evil spots where we all consume our media. (As well as Dynasty.tv!)
Fantastic news you can use: D(e)ad is available for pre-order now on DVD and Blu-Ray, but this ends next week! We’ve got special features, that’s right… commentaries, bloopers, and Q&A. This is a limited edition pre-order open only for a month. We will order a few extras, but this is the only order we’re doing… so if you want it, now is the time!
