Filmmakers received an undisclosed amount so that they may continue their pursuit of what they consider a dire circumstance:. According to Tomlinson, " There are currently 12 elders still living in the San Ildefonso Pueblo of New Mexico who were taught the Tewa language as their first language and thus know the purest version of it. If their knowledge and wisdom isn't preserved, the Pueblo will suffer an unimaginable loss as they pass away. Stories, histories, wisdom...all of it will be scattered to the winds, never to be retrieved. This has a ripple effect that can be felt in large and small ways around the world. Native communities suffer from extraordinarily high rates of addiction and suicide as they grapple to belong in a world that doesn't see them as human. Even within some Native communities themselves there are factions who advocate letting their ways die, even at the expense of their spirits. "Edge," seeks to illuminate this issue to the world.

We hope this is the beginning of wave of investments so that we may bring this project to fruition. It's not too late to reverse the destruction, but we're on the edge and time is running out."
