    Beautiful backers, 

    We have recently brought a publicist and a social media consultant on board to try and grow our social media reach. We're very close to pushing into £3,000.

    If you haven't already, sharing on social media about your support for our project is a great way to encourage others to donate. Right now out goal is to get the word out to as many people as possible.

    Below is a rough draft of our poster by Desk Tidy Design. 

    Thanks again,

  • The Jump Update... We are Back!

    An update for El Gran Salto (The Jump)

    Aug 19 2018

    Hello my friend! 

    Sorry for being so absent this last months regarding the updates to our project "The Jump" (El Gran Salto) around here. I got news... We are back!!

    Two years after completing production, we are glad to announce that we are starting postproduction as I write to you guys. Fortunately we were granted the Mexican tax credit stimuli EFICINE, with with we will be able to complete the film!

    Right now I'm in Monterrey Mexico having a couple of meetings with our music composer Bernardo Flores while still working with our editor Aldo Osorio to get our best final edited cut for the documentary. 

     Thanks so much for all the love and support you gave us two years ago when we launched our fund surfing campaign. I´ll never forget that because of you this documentary will be available to everyone very soon. Back on track I promise I´ll make my best to keep you up to date with all news regarding post-production. We are aiming to have the completed film by January to start a good festival run.

    Love,

    Jorge Porras / Director

  • Some good news and another terrible meme

    An update for Help Save the Bedminster Winter Lantern Parade

    Jul 8 2018

    Crivens!  Time has flown by and we are only one week away from the end of this epic Fundsurfer. 

    Here’s the good news

    Thanks to the generosity of the people who donated the awesomesauce Rewards, and the kindness of the splendid people who donated hard cash, we made the target last week.

    Phew!  And yay!

    But there’s some bad news

    As previously mentioned, we’re rinsing the #bemmylanterns account to make ends meet this year.  We’ll have zero. Zilch. Zippo.  Nothing in the bank to give us the whiff of a hope for future Lantern Parades. 

    But here’s the extra good news!

    We still have 7 days and we still have some superfantasticwicked Rewards for you to choose from, including:

    • Coffee & cake at the Milkshed
    • 1 hour Pilates lessons from Bristol Pilates Studio
    • A visit to the heartfm studio breakfast show
    • Bundle of 3 book by paul.j.newell
    • Hot or cold drink after the Parade
    • Milkshed venue hire
    • And of course, the 2018 lantern kits which will get you into the actual 2018 Parade! Woop!

    So lets get on this!  Help us secure the future of the Bedminster Winter Lantern Parade and bag yourself a treat while you’re at it.

    But where's the terrible meme? (said no-one ever)

    Here you go.  You're welcome.
