On December 3rd, 2018, our official Champion Supreme the Movie Indiegogo campaign ended and unfortunately did not make its goal. Those who have contributed, per Indiegogo rules, will have their money returned from Indiegogo directly.
Our team over the last year has been working very diligently by connecting with groups around the world via social media, email, phone and even snail mail. We’ve met a variety of amazing individuals at festivals and events as well. We continue to do so as we move forward with our film production endeavors.
This campaign was a first for this project in an attempt to keep it strictly independent. Moving forward, our goal is to seek other avenues and opportunities to properly fund this production in order to bring it to the bring screen in the year(s) to come.
We sincerely thank all of you for your time, kindness and support. The team will be taking a break for the holidays to be with our families and plans to regroup in the new year to begin this project anew. If you have any questions or contact us in regards to this project, please email us at contact@goodharborblue.com or info@championsupreme.com.
We are spreading the word through our Indiegogo campaign platform! Check it out: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/champion-supreme-the-movie

Have you ever tried Haggis? Taylor, Alex, and Tammie did at the Glen Erin Robert Burns dinner in East Lansing. The things you do in the name of research! Actually, it wasn’t bad. Diane did a great job bringing out the Scot in all of us.
April 6th is National Tartan Day in the US! According to Wikipedia: Tartan Day is a celebration of Scottish heritage on 6 April, the date on which the Declaration of Arbroath was signed in 1320. It originated in Canada in the mid-1980s. It spread to other communities of the Scottish diaspora in the 1990s.
How will you show your colors?
