Update #3: Thank you, we did it!
Hello incredible and amazing supporters,
My sincerest thanks for making this campaign a success! We've exceeded our goal of $8,000 and are up to $8,675! This goes without saying (but I'll say it anyway), I could not have done this without your support!
I'm very excited to get things started. I'm locking in a crew now and will begin the casting process this week. I'll be shooting in Morristown, NJ this fall & winter.
Also, anyone who has chosen the reward "I will make a short film specifically for you! You pick the topic!" please let me know the topic and I'll get started right away.
Thanks again! Will keep you posted you posted on the progress.
Best,
Ben
Update #2: One week left!
Hey all!
Thanks so much for your amazing contributions so far. We are 80% of the way there at $6,500 with 7 days left! So close.
Some news - Kevin Coughlin of Morristowngreen.com recently interviewed me about the film. Check out the article!
Thanks again, wouldn't be able to make this happen without your support. See you at $8,000!
-Ben
Update #1: We've raised $2760 in seven days!
Hey everyone,
Thanks so much for your generous donations! I am thrilled to announce that we've raised almost $3,000 in just one week. 34% of the way there and I can't thank you enough for your support!
Also, one backer has chosen the "I will make a short film specifically for you! You pick the topic!" reward. Here's the storyline he chose- "a disheveled man in his late 20s looking for his shoes."
Look out for this film coming soon. Thanks again!
Best,
Ben
