of bridges and beagles!


It's happening, y'all!
First, I received this email, dated September 26th, from the screenplay writer and director of the project.

Dear backer of The Bridge Partner,
As part of your reward we have below a link to the Full Digital package, which includes:
- The Bridge Partner shooting script
- The Bridge Partner Original Score, composed by Miles Hankins
- Peter S. Beagle's 52/50 Project: A selection of poetry and lyrics created weekly by Peter to celebrate the 50th anniversary of selling his first novel.
Thank you so much! If your reward tier includes other items, you can look forward to recieving them in the coming weeks. The actual film will not be sent out until the conclusion of the festival run.

Regards,
Gabriel Olson and The Bridge Partner Team

Amount pledged: $36.00 USD to The Bridge Partner - based on the story by Peter S. Beagle by Gabriel Olson
Reward: THE FULL DIGITAL PACKAGE! In addition to everything at the $25 level, we'll send you a private link to download the film's score and a copy of the script! AND a digital copy of the "52/50 Project," an E-book with 53 original poems and song lyrics by Peter S. Beagle, accompanied by beautiful illustrations.



Now, I have printed - and bound - the Beagle book!
Well, it isn't so much a book as a collection of poems - some meant to be sung!
This was a special project the author had created in celebration of his fiftieth anniversary of first being published. To commemorate the occasion, he wrote a poem (or a song lyric) every week for a year.
They were to be available by email-subscription only.
The very first was sent out in honor of his 70th birthday, on April 20, 2009.
I missed all of them...
but I have them now!
All fifty-three!
Nice to have that bonus!
