      Thanks so much Matija....support wherever you are is a wonderful thing. We're rolling along fine with a decent amount of time left to obtain goal. We're right here everybody http://www.indiegogo.com/SPAN

      hey fellow backers and other interested people for SPAN-the movie -- the project has moved to http://www.indiegogo.com/SPAN so you may want to help out there! It's been set up so even if they're short of the goal (like unfortunately they were on Kickstarter), they'll still receive the funds to work with. So your little extra effort in registering and giving over there won't be lost.

      We can do it together!
      Matija

      Hey DifEngers,

      It would be great if you could set up a method by which to accept donations should the $90k minimum pledge total not be met by Monday's deadline - a donation button on the Span website and/or Facebook page maybe?

      I'm sure there are others like myself who would like to contribute to your project regardless of Kickstarter outcome.

      Wishing you guys every success for your project.

      I think the best way to get word out to scifi fans is to get some of the well known scifi bloggers out there (like a scifi author) to post about this. The one that comes to mind, because I read his blog all the time and I know he has a huge following, is John Scalzi and his Whatever blog. He's in Germany at the moment doing a book tour but he'll be back in a few days. If he decides to post about it I guarantee you will get a ton of new backers.

      There are others as well. Send them a press kit or at least a very nicely worded email and you may get them to post about it.

      Well, scifi conventions (although with only 32 days to go I don't know how happen in that time frame), scifi and geek news sites and blogs, perhaps a facebook page and twitter presence and other social media, get the word out there and it will spread.

      I agree. I think if more people knew about this project, getting funded would be easy as pie. But how?

    17. Missing_thumb
      ReptilianSamurai on October 20, 2011

      I think there are more than 86 people who like scifi, this project just needs more publicity.

      I'm thinking of sites like io9 and Slashdot, which have blogged about things like this in the past, and would get you a lot of traffic and interest. Of course it's likely you already contacted them.

      Difference Engine Films on October 13, 2011

      Right now we have posted to a good number of sci-fi news, blog and online publication sites. If you have any suggestions for ones you know of, we are wide open for any and all of them.
      Thanks so much for taking the time to support SPAN.

      Looks like a very promising project. You should definitely contact blogs and sci-fi news websites about this, I only found out about the project by browsing on KickStarter, and I think a lot of scifi geeks out there would love to be a part of funding this project if they only knew it existed!

      Initially having come from a special effects background, I really appreciate the level of quality you're putting into "Span." Wish I could do more, but I'm in the trenches with you raising funds for our own film. However, I just had to support you guys, because it looks awesome and I believe in helping great, creative projects. I'll definitely spread the word!
