Very special thanks go to Pat Tomlin and all at Wildcat One management consultancy in Edinburgh; after interviewing the company about their wildlife sponsorships for the documentary we came across a financial shortfall and asked them if they could help with finishing funds, true to form they came to the rescue and provided us with all of the remaining funds we needed to complete the film; THANK YOU!
More thanks to Andy Langley and all at production company LPS Creative Media for helping us through the complications of DVD duplication, menus, encoding and so on, it would have been a real headache without your help; THANK YOU!
Final thanks to all at the Scottish Wildcat Association for their ongoing support and vociferous plugging of the DVD to their many friends and supporters, we hope our donation will be some small thanks from us and the wildcats you're trying to save.
