We Made It to 53% Funding!
So, after a very late night with multiple final pushes on social media, we made it to 53% of our total funding goal.
What does this mean?
Well, we will be able to be 'open' very soon. I am having to work out some chemistry disposal issues with our local wastewater & planning and zoning departments. Thankfully, with my husband being an environmental scientist, I have some avenues to find the help I need for the lab.
With that being our only slight hiccup on our way to the occupational license needed in order to run the lab, I would say we are doing fairly well. I am still trying to project for an August 29th opening date, but I will post more updates as things come our way.
We are still accepting donations/investments via Venmo & Cashapp, and the username for both is neworleansfilmlab. Just type in the message area what perk you'd like to contribute to along with your email so we can contact you.
We are trying to work diligently to partner with vendors to bring film and cameras to the lab's store inventory. This is to help with the customer experience while keeping the medium of film photography alive and available to everyone.
I would like to tell you all thank you. Thank you for the donations/investments, shares, shoutouts, warm messages, and love you have given us over the past 60 days. It has been an adventure and a wonderful start to our journey.
