Four years ago we embarked on a journey to bring Richelle Mead’s beloved series, “Vampire Academy,” to the big screen. Upon securing the rights we immediately came to YOU, the fans, with our hopes for this franchise. Creating and building a social media presence ended up being the best decision we ever made. Through the ups and downs of these last years, YOU have stood by us and for that we are forever thankful.

And now, here we are, back to square one. With over 360,000 film fans on our Facebook page and 47,000 Twitter followers - the one message we continue to receive is clear and simple: YOU WANT FROSTBITE.

Exhausting all our resources these past six months, we have successfully funded the majority of the second film. However, our financiers have made one request before we are officially green lit. They want to see a large enough fan interest to warrant their investment. And so, we turn to YOU, the self-proclaimed #VAFamily to make this a reality.

We are asking for our global fan base – US, Australia, Brazil, UK, Philippines, Mexico, Canada, Indonesia, India, Romania, Turkey, Greece, Germany, New Zealand, France, Czech Republic, Poland, Italy, Pakistan, Bulgaria, Sweden, Malaysia, Croatia, Argentina, Algeria, Egypt, Spain, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Morocco, Slovenia, Serbia, Thailand, South Africa, Russia, Hungary, Venezuela, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Ecuador, Singapore, Bosnia, Herzegovina and Netherlands (to name a few) – to help us continue Rose and Lissa’s story.

It has come to our attention that many of our fans never had the opportunity to see the first film in the theatre - and in fact, many of you are still waiting for the DVD to be released in your country. Therefore, our biggest concern moving forward is guaranteeing that YOU have access to the film. This is very important to us because we are asking you to put your faith in our team once more. Provided that our goal is met, we pledge to bring FROSTBITE directly to YOU via a digital download for those contributing $30 or over.

What we are asking for is nothing new. Other films have achieved their own personal goals and we know, with your help, so can we. When we look back at what you have accomplished – MTV Movie Brawl Finals, Teen Choice Award Nominations, etc – we know that when the #VAFamily sets their sights on a goal, they always reach it.

We need to raise 1.5 million to see Frostbite become a reality. If we raise more, it will only allow us to make an even better film for YOU.

Per the request of the fans for a true book to film adaptation, our screenwriter, Piers Ashworth ("St.Trinian's"), has delivered! Only by reaching our full goal amount will we move forward, but with your help we know we can bring Adrian, Eddie, Tasha, Janine and the rest of the VA characters to life once more.

We leave you with this thought…reaching our goal will not only green light FROSTBITE, it will bring us one step closer to SHADOW KISS!

-Your VA Producing Team

1. When will the movie be made?

Upon reaching our goal we will start pre-production at the end of the year with an early shoot plan for early 2015 - based on cast availability.

2. When will the movie be release?

Our goal is to release FROSTBITE the end of 2015. While we would like to have the film theatrically released, we can only promise at this point that backers above $30 will receive a digital copy of the film.

3. How will I get my digital download?

Once we reach our goal, we will work to ensure that the film reaches all of our global fans. Instructions on how to claim your download will be emailed when the time comes!

4. When will I receive my items?

The filmmakers do not receive the funds until we meet our goal, and because of that we cannot officially place any orders for the rewards until that happens. Once we are fully funded we will need to reach out to fans for t-shirt and hoodie sizes and in a few lucky cases – to arrange set visits! Basically, we will update the shipping schedule once we reach our goal.

5. What can I expect from being a Featured Extra?

Once we’ve confirmed our schedule and location we will get in contact with you. We anticipate a 6-week shoot in Europe or Australia– but this can change. Please note that travel and lodging is not included and you will need to get yourself to set. Hey, we just want to give you the FULL extra experience! As we said above in the risks and challenges, anything can happen on set and usually does – so while we can’t tell you exactly what to expect and who you will meet, we do promise you will leave exhausted, but happy!

6. I’m giving you my money – what if I have more questions?

Please feel free to email us at FrostbiteFilm@gmail.com with any questions or concerns. While we love hearing from ALL our fans, we will not be able to respond to any emails soliciting internships, job inquires or auditions at this time.

7. How do I receive my Digital Badge?

Once you make your contribution to our campaign (Thanks!), you will receive an official Thank You email (seriously, Thank you!) with instructions on how to download your badge.
