A pile of Thank You’s to everyone who contributed to our Aatsinki Kickstarter campaign. And to everyone that helped spread the word. Stay tuned for news about your rewards and, of course, the progress of the film! THANK YOU and KIITOS! We’re all dancing.
The ARCTIC COWBOYS (temporary) tattoo is here! Designed by Jeremy Swinarton and hand-drawn by yours truly, these tattoos are the ultimate expression of Arctic Cowboy mania. Wear yours with pride! Choose between our two stunning styles, the simple “Arctic Cowboy” or the more enthusiastic “Cowboy Love.” As always, you can get your tattoo (and many other great rewards) on the AATSINKI Kickstarter campaign page. Please, please help us finish this film by making a contribution. Thank you!
I just wanted to share this outtake from Aatsinki. A little bit of adorable for your Monday. This is Hilla-Ho , Aarne Aatsinki’s youngest daughter, and her wonderful mother Raisa, feeding the trained reindeer that give sleigh rides at the reindeer park. If you enjoy it, please share with your friends. We are *so* close to reaching our kickstarter goal! But we won’t make it unless you help us spread the word!! Though we’re aiming to raise $38,000 for the AATSINKI Kickstarter campaign, we thought a fun incentive would be just the thing to get us over the $19,000 midpoint.
The latest episode of Mysteries of Vernacular is now live! As promised, this one unveils the intricate history of the word “Pants.” Haven’t you always wondered about that? Although there’s a donate button on the Mysteries of Vernacular site, we would appreciate it even more if you could help us reach our Kickstarter fundraising goal for our upcoming film AATSINKI. Since Kickstarter is an “all-or-nothing” game, this is where we really need your support. If we don’t reach our goal of $38,000 by May 11th we won’t get one cent from any of your generous contributions. But we promise to keep the Mysteries of Vernacular episodes coming. Be sure to come back soon to learn about the fascinating history of the word “Hearse.”
Exciting news – Aatsinki was just awarded a $2,500 grant from Finlandia Foundation National! Thank you for believing in us, FFN! Of course, knowing that a group like this wants to help get Aatsinki out into the world makes our Kickstarter campaign that much more important, so please help us spread the word and raise the money we need to finish the film!
The AATSINKI Kickstarter campaign is going well but we still need your help to reach our goal. For a pledge of $1000 you will receive an authentic, luxurious reindeer skin, like the one below, hand-selected by myself, directly from the Aatsinki herd! This one is the simplest. I also picked out a nearly pure white one with brown speckles, a dark black one, a brownish one with details like ribs on the back, some softer, some larger. All delicious. Hurry! There are only 2 left!
The heros of Aatsinki, Aarne and his wife Raisa, just got a new puppy. His name is Majuri and he seems irresistible. I can’t wait to meet him!
Majuri is pictured above with Aarne and Raisa’s other dog, Pienari.
The beautifully carved Lappish kuksa mugs were such a popular Kickstarter reward (they sold out on the first day!), we went out and found some extra special kuksas to add to our campaign. These new, *super deluxe* kuksas have reindeer antler detailing and come with a handy reindeer antler stirrer.
We are off to a great start! Thank you. And we already sold out of a reward! So, we just added a brand-spanking-new one. For $250 you’ll receive a signed archival art print (8″x10″) of a photo I took in Lapland during my year there + THE AATSINKI FAN PACKAGE. You chose one of the three photos below.  Revontuli  Poro  Ruska It’s a pretty sweet deal. If you haven’t already pledged your support, now is the time to do so! And if you have already pledged, don’t forget to help spread word! |
