NEW GOAL
We just passed our Kickstarter goal of $75,000. Hooray! We're at $83,000 this morning.
Okay, celebration is over...
My real goal all along has been $350,000. It's impossible, hard to utter, not likely, absurd.
The reason for this number is important. Kickstarter has been getting lots of press lately. (a two-page article in the WSJ two weeks ago is just one example.) They're popular with the film festivals and a young, "mover/shaker" demographic that is going to be important to us in marketing this film to the mainstream.
The most successfully funded film in Kickstarter history hit $345,000.
If we hit $350,000, we'll make news. And we'll make news with a group that is on Twitter, Facebook, etc. It will make an ongoing splash that we'll get a 10 to 1 return on.
And, we'll have the majority of our marketing budget raised. Every dollar will turn into promotion, exposure and momentum.
We have 14 days.
It's crazy, it's impossible, it's perfect.
For us to hit this goal, we need 3000-5000 supporters. We have 500. Just 500 out of the entire profession! We need to sell out 10, $10,000 screenings and add at least 1000 people at $100. Impossible!
Will you throw your weight behind it? I don't want to drop into hyperbole, but this feels like "a small doorway into a large room." It's a turning point, an opportunity to multiply our efforts in a way we seldom see.
Re-pledge, re-post, make phone calls, push. It's all I know to do.
I'm directing all of my efforts to Kickstarter for 14 days, because we're going to leverage every pledge, every dollar. As of today, I've got about $30,000 more lined up.
This whole project was unlikely, but it's here. Now is the time to get behind it and push.
I've already asked too much of you, so I hope you'll please excuse my boldness.
But jump on and bet on this one.
