Well, we have started our Kickstarter campaign off with a BANG!!!!!!

Even before our Kickstarter launch party event on Tuesday night, we’ve gotten 24% of the way towards our goal in just a few days. Thank you to ALL our backers. They are:

1. Bradley R. Bernstein

2. Richard Scharfenberg

3. Neil Elliot

4. Debbie Vandermeulen

5. Banyah Maria Choi

…and I’d like to give a very special shout out to our producer level backers. They are:

6. Tom Liebengood

7. David Russo

WE ARE SO GRATEFUL!!!!!!!

I had an AMAZING phone conversation with Dave about his reasons for backing the project and we both agreed that creativity can make life meaningful, even save lives! So we really feel that the film – and those who support it – are doing great work! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

To be 24% funded at this point in the campaign is truly beyond amazing. How can we get the rest of the way there?

First of all, invite your friends, colleagues to come to our Kickstarter launch party on Tuesday, July 14th. It’s going to be AMAZING and FUN. You’ll all receive a wristband for half price drinks as well as raffle tickets for some super cool prizes, including a free massage and signed copies of books by ‘Guys Reading Poems’ star Patricia Velasquez and poet Steven Reigns.

And of course, we are finding that our crowdfunding trailer is VERY effective at interesting people in the project. You can share that as well! It’s very helpful!
