IndieWire "Project of the Week"
Hello Kickstarter!
So we are officially at the 50% mark with just over 20 days to go. This is amazing, and we are all so humbled by your support. But please, we still have $20,000 left to secure, so if you can please Facebook, Tweet, Email, or roto-dial all your friends to tell them about "Tomorrow We Disappear," that would be incredible.
But I have another request for you today (sorry! sorry! we're karmically indebted to you, I know!). Earlier this week we were named IndieWire's "Project of the Day." IndieWire is the leading online magazine for independent film, so we were obviously excited to get this kinda attention so early-on. But what's really exciting is that we are currently in the running for "Project of the Week!" And yes, we need your help.
IndieWire selects its "Project of the Week" through a vote on Facebook. You can find that here:
https://apps.facebook.com/my-polls/vsa0pzvt
If you could take 30 seconds of your day and vote for "Tomorrow We Disappear," we will love your forever - plus, if we win, we'll be releasing some funny content here and on our Facebook page.
Thank you all so much for your help. And please reach out if you have any questions for us.

Adam has a delightful beard. But maybe it's time for change: should he shave it into a fu-manchu? Maybe it's time he rock an "Abe?" We think perhaps it'd look best Henna-died in the Diwali style? With this prize, Adam's beard is now yours to creatively direct.
