Please find more details about the impending premiere at The Montpelier pub in Peckham on May the 19th on the attached poster:
WASHBAG PREMIERE ANNOUNCEMENT - MAY 19th, PECKHAM
After months of patience from our supporters, the team behind WASHBAG are finally ready to show their short film to the world. We are incredibly grateful for everyone who has helped us get to this point, so thank you, and fingers crossed you liked it!
Considering how much of the film was shot in and around Peckham, we couldn't think of a better place to celebrate the premiere than the upstairs cinema of the brilliant MONTPELIER pub just off Rye Lane. (Please see poster below for address details etc)
There will be THREE showings on the night: 7:30pm, 8:30pm, and 9:30pm - the venue is modestly sized, so please arrive early to avoid disappointment.
(Special Reserved Seating for Hubbub Supporters)

HI GUYS!
Sorry it's been a while, but the wonderful cast and crew of WASHBAG have been very busy putting together a short film that I hope will do all of you brilliant supporters justice.
Our first shooting weekend has come and gone, in which we covered around 2/3 of our scripted material, in various locations and states of caffeination. Next weekend marks our final two days of shooting, and though there is a lot we need to get through, the outstanding cast and crew who are working so hard to make WASHBAG a reality will, I'm sure, pull it off.
Shortly there will be a more updates for you lovely supporters, including a preview of the hallowed POSTER, but in the meantime, on behalf of everyone involved in making WASHBAG a reality, I'd like to once more thank all of you so much for liking, sharing and donating to help our project. Couldn't do it without you!

Many notes were taken at the production meeting between Writer-Director Will Truefitt, Production Designer Madeleine Van Oss and Co-Producer George Kenwright on Thursday. The main gist of proceedings? Off-brand hobnobs and cereal. Lots of exciting ideas were thrown around along with the occasional pair of knickers- now time to get out there and find the bits and bobs that fit!
We've passed the £250 mark!
Great news guys, we're now past the £250 mark with just over two weeks left to go! Thank you so so much to those of you who have donated already, and to those who haven't yet, thanks for looking at the page -- there is no donation too small!
We're well on our way to reaching our eventual target, but now it's extra important for us to keep momentum up! So even if you've already donated, please share this page with all your friends so that we have the best chance possible of making this project a reality.
Cheers,
Will
