Countdown!!!
This is the big week!
We're premiering Uproar in Pawtucket; the Story of Fanny the Elephant at the Pawtucket Public Library at high noon.
All the glitterati and our supporters will be there and the paparazzi are lined up for the event.
Be there or be square- even out of staters are flying and driving in!
We have copies of Uproar available as well as some copies of The Ballad of Baby Roger for those who haven't picked theirs up yet. At $10 a pop, they're quite a deal.
It's been a long haul, and I know there are some people who didn't get in touch and would have liked to add their stories to Fanny's film- but all is not lost for them.
I'm working on the book that includes a lot of stuff I couldn't fit into the film, and if anyone wants to contact me with more info, this would be the time to do it.
But for now, I'd like to focus on thanking the cast, crew, and supporters who made the film possible, and hope to see you all at Pawtucket Library (13 Summer St. Pawtucket) on Saturday.

more publicity
Today the Rhode Island Council on the Humanities promoted Fanny's premiere!
They were the ones that funded my initial research for "Elephants in RI", so they have a stake in letting everyone know about what;'s coming up!
Also, PBS RI has expressed interest in airing Uproar when we've got it tweaked to their specifications.
I saw the latest cleaned-up edit of it today, and am really happy. Just a few more tweaks and we'll be ready to roll.
I hope to see everyone at the premiere, Sat. Sept.22, at high noon (or 2PM).

Wow!
It's unbelievable how fast time goes...
Here are the latest updates from "Uproar in Pawtucket".
We have a composer, Joe Rizzo, who has scored the film and we're tweaking it on the timeline as we speak.
The final versions of the film are being reviewed!
We're scheduling the premiere for September 22, which is National Elephant Appreciation Day.
It will be at Pawtucket Public Library in Pawtucket, RI at noon!
We're hoping to contact everyone who has been a part of this film to express our appreciation.
More as things develop

UPdate and good news
So much has happened in the past month I can't believe I have posted more about it all here!
Most of the updates have appeared on the facebook page- Uproar in Pawtucket.
The principal shooting is done and I'm on the third pass editing the rough cut. That's very good news. I could actually have stopped at one or two passes, but I really want this to be the best film I can make it.
I'm shooting for a late summer premiere in Pawtucket.
Stay tuned!!!

It's all shaping up...
Fanny's story is shaping up nicely. I'm 25% done with the rough cut.
And we have a composer/musician who is glad to work with us!
Meet Joe Rizzo- a composer from PA who was once part of a group called Amoeba Crunch. It may not sound too appetizing, but many of his cuts caught my ear and I've been using them as a working score for the film.
I am still looking for more pictures and footage- especially of Fanny's early days, and the zoo in general from 1970 on. I ran across a shot of Bob and Jenny Feather riding Fanny in 1984 and would love to find someone who knows them to see if I can get a good quality print to use in the film.
Please contace me at elephantsinri@gmail.com with any questions, comments, or help you may want to give.
And speaking of help- here's another tip of the hat to all those who participated so generously in the fundraising. We are thrilled to be able to acknowledge you and have you as our partners in the film.
There's a new trailer up on youtube for those who want to hear our Voiceover guy enticing you to see the film.

Stay tuned for further progress updates....

Updates and outlook
Life has been busy here and there is a lot of good news on the Uproar front.
We've got most of our voiceover actors picked for the film, including some great kids, but we hope to have a few more Pawtucket youngsters on board soon.
Unfortunately, the winners of the contest for the best picture haven't given us permission to publish their names so we'll thank them anonymously.
I can't tell how much everyone's generosity has touched us. We're working hard to make sure that the movie repays you many times over!
The money we raised through indiegogo will pay for music, voiceover actors and supplies we need to move the film forward.
Everyone asks- "When will the film be done?" and it's been a hard question to answer, but we now have a solid target date- June 21st!
As soon as we're certain that the final cut looks great, we'll schedule a premiere in Pawtucket for everyone to join.
Please keep us posted on all things Fanny!
