Posted project update #1Two weeks left and an exclusive video for backers!
Post CommentWe're an 1/8 of the way there thanks to you! In addition to your pledges, the project has received a lot of great press. Here's what folks are saying:
“Worth every penny if you get to see more of the Professor dancing” – Cake in 15
"[An] ambitious work-in-progress” - City Pages
“Thanks, M.anifest, for continuing to push hip-hop’s boundaries further” – SoulBounce
“This is amazingly brilliant - we have to get back to valuing the teachings & history that comes live & direct from our elders, which no history books have nor can authentically record!” – Global Fusion Productions
The University of Minnesota did a press release on the film, and it was featured on the websites of the Immigration History Research Center, and the front page of the College of Liberal Arts!
IHRC: http://bit.ly/c8TtQm
UMN Press Release: http://bit.ly/bzftJn
CLA: http://cla.umn.eduAnd if you haven't heard it, M.anifest released a remix this week of his song "Golly Gosh." Listen and download here: http://bit.ly/9IiG4L
As an added incentive, all backers of the project will get access to an EXCLUSIVE video featuring M.anifest. When you back the project, you'll get a link to a password-protected Vimeo page. Click that big green button to back us now! It's just a couple clicks through Amazon Payments.
We’re also gearing up to leave for Ghana to film the collaboration with M.anifest and his grandfather, J.H. Kwabena Nketia. Justin and M.anifest talk about some of the things you’ll see in “We Rock Long Distance” in our project update video. Check it out!
