Hi, everyone!

It's done!

Thanks to you I raised £1012. This is fantastic news. 

I continue to work. Feel stressed but excited. 

For those who are expecting their gifts I will get back to you once I finish editing. I remember about you. 

Thank you very much for supporting my project. You are all welcome to see the film on the 27th of September in Minghella Cinema, Reading University (I will send more details later)

Hey, everyone!

Thank you very much for your support and care. A lot of you not only donated and spread the word about my project but also found a way to contact me and send me kind words. This is essential for someone like me.

There a few things I would like to share with you.

Firstly, I did an interview with my main contributor Yarko in Bristol.  He is a Ukrainian raised in Detroit, USA. I spoke to him as I want to find out more about the generations of immigrants who were before me. My initial plan is to include a few minutes from the interview. Will see!

Secondly, I went to Ukraine in April and returned with some new ideas and insights. Oh! And footages, of course. I used my IPhone to take pictures and record videos. I could not bring camera and I did not want to, because due to the martial law in Ukraine you have to be careful with recordings and explain to everyone what are you doing. I did not want this to stop me, so I was being quiet and creative. 

Finally, I am working on the structure at the moment so when the money comes I will be able to finalise editing. 

Please keep sharing this link to other people https://spsr.me/a9d7

Best, 

Varta
