Vote for The Illusionists on indieWIRE!!!

Update #5 · Jul 15, 2011 · 2 comments

Dear backers,

This Tuesday The Illusionists had the tremendous honor of being selected by filmmaking site indieWIRE as the "Project of the Day." I was floating two feet above the ground all day long!

Well, here is an opportunity to make me levitate even higher and to increase the chances for The Illusionists to land on the homepage of Kickstarter.com – something that would bring more exposure (and donations) to the project.

indieWIRE has just set up a poll for the "Project of the Week." Please click on this link and cast a vote for us:

Bonus points (and infinite gratitude) if you leave a comment about our film on indieWIRE :)

big hug,

Elena
