Cory Choy

Straightpin New York, NY

I was born in Silver Spring, Maryland.

My parents play a lot of music. One time I had a dream about a song. The next day I plunked it out on the piano in the living room. My mom asked me how I knew the love song my dad had written for her before they got married.

In high school I played in a band. We played a lot on the docks of Old Town Alexandria, Virginia.

In college I studied film at NYU. My focus was on sound and animation.

After college I apprenticed with sound mastercraftsman Bern Hayden.

Four years ago I opened up Silver Sound (www.silversound.us) with Robin Shore.

Now I'm sound engineering, and working on producing THE CHAMPION: an animated musical comedy that concerns William, a young publishing-house employee, who risks losing love in a quest to fulfill his ambition. My mom wrote it. It is a beautiful story. It has some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard in my life. It is my quest to complete this movie and share it with the world.

    Also, Tina, is thinking about offering a new surprise award... wonder what it's going to be. Found out that good friend and director MATT KLEIGMAN (www.steamclam.com) actually shares an office with the KickStarter people. Kudos to them. Not only do they have a good idea, but their website isn't UGLY. That's a big deal. I've actually found the social networking aspect of this website better than facebook in a lot of ways-- everyone on it is a driven artist with a pretty sweet project. Makes you want to create beautiful art!

    ALREADY $1000?!
