    3 days left!

    Only 3 days left! Please help spread the word! otherwise it looks like I'll be the king of failed @kickstarter projects!

    Also, I looked into adding DVD's as a backer reward, but I don't have a DVD burner, and the cost of getting DVD's burned was a little out of reach, so for now, it's just the books and camera pieces from the film.

    Best,

        Check out Kunaki! You get full color dvd disc artwork printed, full color insert printed, full color front-spine-back insert into the DVD case that comes with it, all manufacturing, everything for about $1.50 per disc. That's with a min of 6. Cheaper if only printing 5 or less at a time. Shipping is cheap too! Can even avoid paying twice to ship (once to you then again to your supporters) by uploading addresses to them and have them drop ship to each customer. Maybe about $5 per DVD shipped. For everything!!

        I've used them and they are reliable and the finished product looks awesome! Totally impressed. The only bummer is that you have to use Windows to use their software which uploads the files. (They're all automated .. that's way it's so cheap!)

    Thank you for your support!

    I wanted to reward you with a pdf, but there's no way to upload that, so I'll give you the link and you can download it here :) It's a companion pdf to the movie I made awhile back. It'll give you a sense of what some of the design of the book may look like, but not intended to be final by any means. Most of the book will use stills from the film, but there may be elements/pages that are similar to what is in the PDF companion. Anyway, thank you for your support and please help spread the word!

    Best,
