      Hi, thanks for keeping us updated! Don’t pay any attention to the naysayers, they don’t get it.

      It’s probably not possible to change rewards after people have backed them but I’m sure that on other projects that I’ve backed it’s been possible for the project creator to add rewards. Or sometimes they make them incremental so that if you back at a certain level you get all the rewards before it, included. I would recommend asking @amandapalmer for advice, her project was recently very successful (slight understatement.)

      Please can you tell me if international postage is included or whether we will need to pay extra? Thank you.

      I am also in favor of the online viewing option. That would probably be much easier to produce, without worrying about all of the packaging, burning, and printing that goes along with it. I am aware that this is something that will not be available for a while (January 2014 or so, correct?), but I am much more interested in making sure that I will have an opportunity to view what we are creating together, seeing as I am not in a major urban area and could not easily get to a showing.

      Also, if anyone wants to increase the amount that they pledged, they can go in again on their same pledge page, and select a different reward if they so choose.

      I wouldn't worry about the people who think it's unfair that you're using Kickstarter to raise funds for this projects. Some projects are just hard to get funding for, no matter who you are, and that's what this site is for. Do they really think someone in Hollywood is going to hand you $65K to make a documentary about a female comedian? Gimme a break! Keep up the good work, and I hope you get to do this. It's a great project, and we need more like it.

      Thanks for the response. You are correct, this if for more than one reward. We are disappointed too regarding the DVD but we were advised against this reward and needed to listen to the powers that be. We're trying. Again, thanks for the words.

      Regarding donating twice I am assuming this means to get two (or more) pledge rewards? What is often done is a backer can pledge under one category but pledge more i.e. the equivalent of adding up the other desired pledge rewards. Then a survey is sent out at the end (by you!) asking for the specifics. Of course if you want a limited reward you need to pledge for that as your 'main pledge'. Also backers should make sure that Whoopi would be okay with this (using this approach she will not know until the end how many of each pledge reward she actually needs as they are bundled under one pledge level and so she understandably might not want to do this - although in spite of the additional hassle, it will likely accelerate funding).
      Another possibility is to create a new combined reward level which combines the most desired pledge rewards.
      Regarding no DVD I have to admit I am a bit surprised that only one (high) reward level actually allows a backer to view the documentary which everyone is funding. It would be nice to somehow have access to possibly own the documentary at some point down the line (understanding that this could be a few years from now and may just be a digital download e.g. via itunes).
      Also there is no mention of additional costs for shipping - does this mean shipping is included (including e.g. Canada?)
      Thank you
