Greetings to SkyRocket Pictures and Manhattan Transfer backers, I am writing this post to express my disappointment that SkyRocket Pictures have chosen to pursue cryptocurrency as a potential source of financing. Alt-currencies in a fictional world are fine. Cryptocurrencies in the real world, with their known environmental impacts (https://unu.edu/press-release/un-study-reveals-hidden-environmental-impacts-bitcoin-carbon-not-only-harmful-product) - I use Bitcoin as an example as this was the currency pictured in the update email - are not. I don't seek any return of my initial pledge, but if SkyRocket Pictures continues to pursue cryptocurrency as a source of finance, I will not be supporting it any further. I respectfully hope that SkyRocket Pictures reconsiders this course of action. Kind regards, Lauren Mitchell (they/them)

I ran into one of the cast recently and was told not much is going on. What is the story about status?
Project Update: New Manhattan Transfer trailer drops!
We also wanted to remind all of you about our WeFunder equity funding campaign. Here, you can invest in our pilot episode, and possibly make a little (or a lot of) money back on your investment! While the campaign is going well, we are really striving to reach our next major milestone of $250,000! This figure is important for several reasons, primarily because at this level, WeFunder will begin marketing our project to its massive group of previous investors, specifically targeting those who have already invested in film projects. This list is over 100,000 strong! Just imagine if even 1% of those people would invest in Manhattan Transfer -- we’d have over 1000 investors!
So if you, or anyone you know (including aliens who want to abduct Manhattan) would like to do more to support our project, please check out our WeFunder campaign page: https://wefunder.com/manhattan.transfer.film.fund.1
And as always, thank you for believing in our project and thank you for our support!
The Manhattan Transfer Team
