Full Speed Ahead!
Hello Everyone,
Great news: we have officially begun editing full time with our new post-production team. Over the last 6 weeks, we’ve been working hard collecting all the videos and photos that have been taken at Improv Everywhere events since its inception in 2002. During those past ten years, hundreds of videographers and photographers have documented Improv Everywhere events and we’re doing our best to track down as much material as possible. (If you have any footage you’d be willing to send to us, please email improveverywherefilm@gmail.com).
In addition to what others have shot, we’ve secured access to all the Improv Everywhere archival video (over 100 Mini DV tapes...remember those!) and we’re planning to digitize everything in the highest quality possible. We’re looking forward to discovering new stories and great behind-the-scenes footage as we continue to look for patterns in the evolution of Improv Everywhere.
The ongoing support of this project has been amazing. We’ve been contacted by over 20 freelance professionals who have offered the film everything from composing to translation services. We’ve been in touch with all of them and will be sure to use their skills as best as possible. What’s more, we’ve been offered discounted equipment and production services to help document an Improv Everywhere mission for the film from start to finish. Finally, we’ve had some generous donations via PayPal and raised an additional $650. If you missed the campaign and would also like to support us, check it out here: http://improveverywhere.com/film/.
Please make sure to keep up to date with us on Facebook and Twitter where we will continue to post more information about the film! It’s the best place to see clips and teasers before the movie comes out!

WE DID IT! THANK YOU! How to follow the film going forward!
Whew, what an exciting conclusion to the campaign! As you can imagine, we’ve been running on fumes this last week and finally found some time to sleep over the weekend. We’re still in awe that we not only reached our goal but surpassed it. We raised over $9,548 on the last day alone!
We wish there was time to call all 1,675 of you personally to say thanks but right now we’ve got to buckle down and finish this movie. Thanks to all of you we’ve got a busy, exciting year ahead of us!
Please continue to follow us on Facebook and Twitter, where we’ll update you on the progress of the film and the details about its eventual premier. It’s also a great place to direct any friends and family who might be interested in learning about the project.
Once again, we want to sincerely thank you for everything you’ve given us the last 38 days. Not only have you given us financial support, but you’ve given us your time, attention and, in many cases, your talents. We promise to do everything we can to return the favor and make a film we can all be proud of.
Here are a few articles about the project that were written during the campaign:

    Congratulations! I just noticed that part of the budget was for buying footage from the 2007 TV pilot. It will be great to see that put to good use.

@Anna Yeah, it will be a little over $6,000 however we raised more than $8,000 thanks to the Kickstarter homepage and widget so it more than paid for itself! Also, the guys at Kickstarter have been really great to us and provided tons of support and encouragement.
