Posted project update #26NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER
Yes, sadly we are nearing the end of our (First) attempt at success on KICKSTARTER. It has been a long but enlightening and informative run. We have seen a number of projects close to our hearts get funded. My wife successfully funded her PRESS ON 2009 project and our fellow Tinybrokennation member Mike Ambs successfully funded his second project in his Project Pedal/FTOM series. Many of you have expressed disappointment that things have slowed to a crawl with the SCENARIO 51 project. My response is a two part one. First, it is true that the Kickstarter portion of the project has slowed but it has also shown us what we can expect, at this time, from a pledge drive. We are aware that we are a group of relative unknowns however we have all worked in the industry for years and have a very thick skin. We are in the process of regrouping and rallying the troops for a second more focused run at Kickstarter. Second, Pre-production is racing ahead on SCENARIO 51 and Kickstarter or no Kickstarter we plan to have this movie going ahead on schedule. DAMN THE TORPEDOES - DON'T FIRE UNTIL YOU SEE THE WHITES OF THEIR EYES - NUTS! Well you get the idea.
Most importantly we have felt an outpouring of kindness and support from friends and family and from strangers that are either fans of the genre or fans of a good underdog story. To all of you we give a warm thanks and pledge our efforts to rocking your world in the near future!
TBF never says DIE! We have also decided to send out an award to all of the Tinybrokennation that came forward to support us in our hour of need. Contact us at Info@tinybrokenfilms.com and give us your contact information and you will receive a token of our appreciation and gratitude in the mail.
Anyone that pledged to our original drive, we will be back with a modified Kickstarter drive and we hope that you will transfer your pledges to this second attempt!
Viva SCENARIO 51 !
Viva TBF!
Vivan Los Tinybrokennation!
And, as always... WATCH THE SKIES!

Posted project update #23ANOTHER PLEDGE
Post Comment19 people have pledged their money and goodwill to SCENARIO 51. Sandra Graham is our most recent pledge - Thank You! We are down to the last 29 days of our Kickstarter drive. If there was ever a good time to pledge this would be it! Pass us along to your friends and relations! We've already had 900+ hits on our Kickstarter links, if all 900+ of you had pledged $10 we'd have already met our goal! The pledge is easy to place especially if you already have an Amazon account. If you pledge your money to our film I promise to go the extra mile to produce an entertaining film! It isn't often that you can say you helped produce a film, now you can earn that right for as little as a dollar! Don't wait - too late too late will be the cry when the independent film passes you by! We look forward to your pledge and to adding your name to the Tinybrokennation Honor Roll!
Thanks,
Chris

Posted project update #20SCENARIO 51 HONOR ROLL REDUX
Post Comment17 stand-up, stand-out people have put their money on the line to back our current production. We at Tinybrokenfilms want to acknowledge their good will with a whole hearted thank you and with a list of their names in the order they contributed. It takes a big heart and a generosity of spirit to back a project like ours and I want them to know how much we appreciate it! So our thanks go out to each of the following in equal measure:
GREG MILNER
JAMES YOUNG
CARLA FERRIS
THUC NGUYEN
AARON OLIVER
DAVID MARSHACK
MIKE AMBS
RICH LOVATT
KALI HENRY
TARA GOODALL THORNE
MAYA SLOBIN
JASON RODRIGUEZ
JENNIFER GIGLIO LEE
MICHAEL CHUNG
SARAH FOX
NATASHA YAKOVLEV
CANAN BUYUKUNSAL
Hopefully there are more generous souls like this group out there willing to back SCENARIO 51. If you would like to see what all of the fuss is about check out our Kickstarter page http://bit.ly/ZCDvN . Remember our minimum pledge is $1 charged by Kickstarter.com to your Amazon account, you probably have that laying around the house in loose change. How would you describe yourself right now? You can change all that - it only takes a second to become the producer of a motion picture! Try laying that on your friends at the High School Reunion or that tall drink of water at the singles bar. We have more SCENARIO 51 goodness in the days and weeks to come, in the meantime pass the word and watch the skies!!

I was sad that this project didn't receive more love the first time out :( But! One thing I love about KSR is that they don't penalize you for trying - it cost nothing to run a campaign. I'm excited to see that you have no intentions of letting this kill your efforts.
If it were me, I would re-evaluate some little details... change things here and there based on any lessons I learned during my 1st run. Maybe re-think the rewards - sometimes something as simple as that can have a big impact. In any case - think about taking a month off and re-launching this project after the New Year! :)
I'll be right there to help back what you're doing! Keep it up!
