If it's me, I will write an email to them next week. Best is if I can get both emails.
If I can't I will focus on getting the contacts of Mr Tape because my instinct tells me he will be the one who will call the shots.
In my email, I will talk mainly about the project.
Try to recall what they said during the interviews...the issues they faced in this project. Take for eg.
Maybe they mentioned something regarding the budget involved in conducting the project.
Maybe the problem they might face in coordinating the crew...etc.
Make some useful suggestions in that email relating to the issues they might face.
You might not have the right answer for this issues right now(since you probably don't know how the company operates yet) but that's not the point.
Point is to leave them with an impression that you are truly enthusiatic about the opportunity and is able to share that "burden" they have.
At the end of the email, briefly mention that you are really keen and is waiting for their reply.
