We Did It!!

We raised 113% of our crowdfunding goal, surpassing our target by more than $1500! We were so excited to reach our full goal almost two days before the campaign even ended, and we were incredibly grateful that you continued to support us up to the final hours! On Wednesday at 12:15pm, we finished the campaign ecstatic, (slightly exhausted) and simply elated.

To celebrate, we made this fun infographic sharing a final snapshot of the campaign. ? Feel free to share it on social media and tag @prettyuglythefilm so all of your friends know how awesome you are and that you helped make the campaign a success!

We hope you are staying healthy and safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. We’re sending hugs, prayers and good vibes for a safe return to normalcy soon. During this time, we’ve stayed very busy making progress on the film. Here’s the latest:

Our Latest Filming News

We journeyed up to New York to spend a day filming with LOLI Beauty founder Tina Hedges, whose products are organic, vegan, food-grade, sustainable, and Made in a Free World, ensuring no one is trafficked or exploited in their supply chain. Tina’s products are so clean, you can actually eat them! We had a blast with her as she shared all about her journey from big beauty executive working at two of the leading conventional beauty companies to now being a clean beauty alchemist, mixing her own magical products and sharing her formulas with the world. Check out pictures of Tina mixing ingredients just below!
