Creator catherine gund on August 10, 2012
Hope! So remarkably fitting that you are the one to push us over our goal for this kickstarter campaign. Can't wait to get you on camera for this film - you are an original and everlasting super hero. Hopefully this film will do you and Elizabeth and all the other dancers justice. Thank you for your confidence and support. Be well and we'll be in touch. Cat

Loved being an Action Artist with Elizabeth. Glad to see you doing this. Let me know if I can help. Have some good memories stored in that archival footage. Hope

Creator Marianne Weems on July 5, 2012
I am thrilled that Streb's early work will be a part of the film -- I remember seeing the box piece (subsequently stolen by Madonna) and having my mind blown.
Creator Nigel on June 30, 2012
I LOVE the Kickstarter video and wish you all luck with the campaign. Have great fun taking London by storm, can't wait to see that. No rush on the cookies:)))) Jane
Creator Rachel Finan on June 28, 2012
I hope you make your goal. Streb is such a huge influence for me, and your kickstarter video made me tear up a little!
