Lost In Sunshine status, newsletter & website

Hi LIS friends,

We've been working. A lot. In between all of our daily lives, regular work schedules, crazy work schedules, and here & there challenges, we've been finding pockets of time to create, visualize, manage, motivate, and develop a website, as well as keep the spirit of our film alive in the hearts of many who support us.

I've been working on new content that fits into the shape of our online new age approach (i.e. blogs, twitter, facebook)

while Lorie's been diligently working with Ari to produce a well-oiled machine to display our inventive, out of the box,

web-site vision for the entire life of our project.

While our designer, Shad, cranked out the new design, our developer, Ari managed to feverishly plug in all the details that make this show experience come alive.

There's a lot more that goes on 'behind the scenes' than anyone would want to hear about, but this is what we've been

pounding away at for the last several weeks... And now it's paying off. We are launching this THURSDAY! :)

Sign up for our newsletter on Thursday via our site, so you can receive our FIRST EVER NEWSLETTER this Friday. Here, you'll get a special first-look at our production status, what's new, and a surprise featured blogger/artist each month!

Our engines have now experienced take off, and we're ready to fearlessly fly... hopefully with you.

Thank you all for your support.

With love, Jentri

Lost In Sunshine website launching next week!!

Our official Lost In Sunshine website is almost complete, and I'm feeling a little OCD about it today. Is it wrong to love your project so much? It's not about ego - it's all excitement. Just reading our key crew's thoughts, words they've graciously contributed to our "crew" page, has touched me so deeply. And once again, reconfirmed my thoughts about what attracted me or Lorie to them to begin with. Does this happen on every film? If so, I'm making features for the rest of my life. This is the coolest thing I've ever experienced. I'm not naive to the idea that problems may (some say will) occur with our production in the future, but it'll be dealt with in a respectful way. And the reason I know this? Because of all these beautiful folks on board. They care about this project and want it to succeed. It really feels magical right now. The collective focus of everyone is to make a lot of good shit happen to a lot of well-deserving people. Ya can't beat that.

So what does this new development mean for this blog? Not too much. I'm going to keep writing and sharing my thoughts about our project, and my feelings about being a first-time feature writer-director here with you. But I'm also going to be blogging about my thoughts on other indie films, projects, actors, and filmmaker friends, as well.

On our official movie website, the filmmakers' blogs will be specifically about Lost In Sunshine. Anything you could ever want to know about the film - you'll have it.

I sure would love it if you'd follow me and my sunshine making crew there, too. You'll be the first to know when it's up! :)

Lots of love, Jentri

ps.

Thank you, Lorie, Ari, and Shad for working so hard to create such a beautiful instrument for us to share our experiences through!
