Creator Nicole Panter on May 28, 2012
Good luck Andy, it looks like a wonderful project!
Creator Dov Printz on May 28, 2012
I agree with Doug-Hawes Davis, if most of us double our pledges we'll push this thing over the top, and there isn't much time left. Doubled mine today.
Creator Lise Petrauskas on May 27, 2012
I'm trying to figure out a way to pitch this film to all the folks who are besotted with Downtown Abbey. There's a meme here, right?
Creator Susan Jamerson on May 27, 2012
I wish the article came out earlier so there would be more time before the deadline. Hope to see a big push as folks read the Sunday paper. Fingers crossed.
Creator Mike Danylchuk on May 27, 2012
Here's the Missoulian article: http://missoulian.com/news/local/missoula-animator-s-latest-passion-is-capturing-world-war-i/article_89bb78da-a7aa-11e1-ba3b-001a4bcf887a.html
Creator beth Judy on May 26, 2012
Yay, I finally got Kickstarter to work for me!!
Creator Sean Lambert on May 25, 2012
Searching for your story, looks like it's been pushed to Sunday: http://missoulian.com/smetanka-film-four-tb-jpg/image_90f15038-a5ee-11e1-9c47-001a4bcf887a.html (the title says 052712)
Creator Doug Hawes-Davis on May 25, 2012
Folks, let's get 'er done. I doubled my pledge earlier this week. If we all do that, the project will be within a few bucks of the finish line in short order. Double your pledge and get even better rewards too!
Creator Cabe Lindsay on May 23, 2012
Glad to hear you'll have the Missoulian supporting you with a story. I wonder what the University can do for you. Potentially powerful connections in there, in the Film dept and elsewhere. Your personal story with this investment of time and artistic energy is inspiring, certainly newsworthy. Missoula owes you big time for all the creative energy you've poured into her. I know this is a masterpiece in the making. Thank you, thank you!
Creator Ryan Maddox on May 23, 2012
I like it lots. Fingers crossed.
Creator andy smetanka on May 22, 2012
Great suggestion. We'll look into it today.
Creator Sean Lambert on May 22, 2012
Maybe try contacting KUFM and see if anyone there is interested in the story; public radio listeners seem like a good target audience...
Creator Sean Lambert on May 22, 2012
Sadly I'm not local anymore - I'm in the Seattle area. Just tossing out ideas, because I'd love to see this succeed!
Creator andy smetanka on May 22, 2012
Sean,
We should have a piece coming out in the Missoulian this Thursday. If you have any other media outlets that would be willing to give us a shout, let us know! Thanks for your support and keep spreading the word!
Creator Sean Lambert on May 22, 2012
It looks like you need a serious P.R. boost - have you thought about talking to local news? They are always looking for community stories like this. We just passed Armed Services Day, and Memorial Day is around the corner...
Creator Jane Maru on May 22, 2012
Go Andy, Go!
Creator Amy E. Vorro on May 21, 2012
I'm truly impressed by this project and can't wait to see the results!
Creator TempleHorses on May 15, 2012
Good luck! Hope I have a chance to see it when it's done.
Creator Cameron and David Barrett on May 8, 2012
Andy - It looks to be a terrific project. Keep at it - and ultimately you will be successful. I'm very excited for you.
