at the laundromat



Here's the update from Vanessa Yee on her kickstarter project:
Update #9 - For backers only

Picture Locked! The Beginning of the End
Hi Kickstarter family! It's been a while and I apologize, but I finally had a moment to sit down and write out all the exciting things that have been happening in the life of The Laundromat. Here's the link to my reflection on these past couple of months.
And here's a quick breakdown of all the big and small details:
- Had a peer/film community screening to keep refining TLD and it met with success and mainly loving support. Here's the Daily Bruin article that came from that.
- PICTURE LOCKED!!! This means I can no longer keep editing the film (which believe me is a bit of a relief). I'm going to start passing along the film to different vendors to take it all the way to the finish. So...
- Already scoring with a composer! The talented and equally earnest Deborah Lee
- Working with a ridiculously knowledgeable fellow director to coordinate the "Online" process, which includes streamlining all my footage to be the same format, applying color correction, and making sure all the sound sounds AMAZING
- Still working on branding and Kickstarter gifts. Below is an example of a text test.
- Will be speaking at a UCLA-run Asian American mental health panel in May with an organization called Active Minds
So here I am with about a month left in the Post-Production life of this film. Thank you for all your continued support! I'll try to keep these updates coming your way, and feel free to ask me questions about this sprint towards the finish.


The laundry is almost done.
It's been a long journey, but sometime this year, I hope to have the DVD in my hands.
I'll keep you posted...

...October 26, 730pm I'd love to finally share this film with you. I'm still gathering the details, but if you can, leave it open and hopefully, I'll see you and you'll see some long-awaited Laundromat moments. :D
