    TILT Huge in Europe...Sort Of

    We're proud to see that our friend, social media consultant Wolfgang Gumpelmaier, has referenced our successful TILT kickstarter campaign once again in his presentation on "Crowdfunding for Independent Filmmakers." His most recent presentation took place in Berlin on August 13th.

    Even though it was over a year ago that we met our $15k goal, we still remember clearly the hours upon hours we spent watching the clock, tweeting, emailing, and facebooking 'thank yous' to supporters, and creating TILTtheTown bios. We couldn't have made with movie without you, and we can't wait to show it to you. When? Soon...so soon...

    Thanks again for all of your support. If you want a little refresher about what crowdfunding is all about, check out Wolfgang's presentation on SlideShare.net.

    And if YOU have used TILT in a presentation, let us know so we can give you a shout out, too!
