Sammus performing at MAGFest 2018 this past January, performing "Mae Jemison," a tribute to her hero, the first black woman in outer space. 

 

Hey, everyone!

Enongo has some big updates coming soon.  She begins teaching at NYU this coming Monday, and was recently in Los Angeles working on a top-secret project (more info on that in the future).  

 

In the meantime, we have just 21 days left until this Indiegogo campaign is over!  We have received donations from far and wide (this week, we received contributions from generous people in South Africa and Singapore!).  But donating has been a bit sluggish lately, and with over 2/3rds of our campaign over, and being just under 2/3rds of the way to our minimum goal, the stakes are very high!

Social media awareness and emailing people you know is absolutely vital, so help us get the word out!:

If we can reach $20,000, we will have enough money for ALL post-production sound, color, and creating the final master of the documentary!

Stay tuned for more updates!  Keep up the great work, everyone!  This is not possible without your help.  Let's make a movie!

Hey, everyone!

First off, if you haven't been listening to the Zero-Suits podcast, then you are missing out.  The free episode for the month of May, "Focus Pocus Pt. 1," was posted, and features Enongo and her fiancé/author Lanre discussing writer's block, focusing on your work, and recovering from hardships, among other topics.  Great reading for anyone who is working on creative projects and/or managing their own business endeavors, and you can get even more Zero-Suits goodies by sponsoring them on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/zerosuits/posts

Also, here's a chart of our progress after our fifth week of fundraising:



We're doing decently, but we still have a long way to go in order to reach our minimum goal of $30,000, and only 25 days left to do it.  At this rate, we'll need to raise an average of $472 each day in order to meet our minimum goal.  So let's get the word out!:

If we can reach $20,000, we will have enough money for ALL post-production audio work, ALL color work, AND to create a final master of our completed movie!  Can we get there in the next couple of days?  Only with your help!

Enongo/Sammus has some exciting news to drop soon, and we'll have plenty more updates on the progress of our film and all things Sammus in the near future.  Thank you for your incredible support, everyone!  Keep up the good work!  Let's make a movie!

Sammus performing "Lovesong" at the Mod Club Theatre


Hey everyone!

Our final two stops of the very first Sammus & The Galactic Federation tour were absolutely incredible!  Our second show in Toronto at the infamous Mod Club Theatre was sold out, and our return to Brooklyn's Market Hotel last night could not be a better finale for this adventure.  The footage looks phenomenal, and we are so excited to share it with you.  Thank you to all who came and supported these amazing artists!

 

Zöe, Enongo, & Adrienne: Sammus & The Galactic Federation

 

We also reached an exciting milestone yesterday en route to New York: We have achieved 60% of our minimum goal!  If we can reach $20,000 (or 2/3rds of our minimum goal), we will be able to afford ALL post-production sound work, ALL color work, AND the final master of our movie!  In other words, all of the essential little post-production technical fixings.  

This will only be possible with your help, and we have only four weeks to reach (and hopefully exceed) our minimum goal to make this the best movie it can be!  Every dollar, like, share, retweet, post, and email to friends counts.  Let's get the word out:

Adrienne rocking out on bass during "Childhood."

Hey, everyone!

Toronto was wild!!  Sammus & the Galactic Federation headlined at The Baby G on Dundas to one of our most enthusiastic crowds yet!  The incredible audience even called for an encore, chanting, "ONE MORE SONG!!  ONE MORE SONG!!"

 

 

And before we made it to Canada, we had a brief stop-over in Ithaca to meet Enongo's lovely mother.  An adorable home, a lovely family, and amazing stories to tell.

This footage was all phenomenal!  But we'll never see it unless we can get this movie made...!

Zöe's mad skills on drums during "Lovesong"


Also, we're just a few bucks shy of $18,000, which is 60% of our minimum goal!  With your help, we might be able to get there today!

Hey, everyone!

Last night in Ithaca was electric!  What an amazing homecoming show.  Thank you to everyone at Ithaca Underground and The Chanticleer for making this amazing evening happen, and big shout-outs to the phenomenal sets that preceded us: bit rot, Beau Mahadev, and Memories Twerk!  

 

 

Also, we reached an exciting milestone last night, just before the stroke of midnight: We finally made $17,000 of our minimum goal! 

Another big milestone occurred today: We are officially halfway through this Indiegogo campaign, with only 30 days left before time runs out.  However, we're also just past the halfway mark of making our minimum goal so we can make this documentary.  So the stakes are VERY HIGHWe still have a long way to go before we can actually make this movie into a reality.  Help us make that happen!:
