      hey guys, it's Tieg! Hello!!! You guys are probably busy right now, but I just wanted to ask if you think the film will be complete before July? (end random question)

      Hey Kenny we were extras during the bus scenes. We would like to know when we can see it and when we can get a dvd or bluray. Let us know as soon as you can.

      So if I'm the only $500 donor do I get the Hona Civic! Just kidding. Happy B Day to Kenny. I love the choice for cast and crew so far. Let the games begin!

      Donated, after hearing about the film in the HAWPcast.. and I must be honest - it looks wonderful! The promo clips really make me look forward to seeing it.

      Just one question, though... Will it be available in the UK? I pray so!

      I wish I had more money to give. I know we reached the goal but the film looks so good from those select scenes that I want to see it in Salt Lake and the festival. I can't wait to get the DVD so I watch it with my friends

      Personally I'm doing pledging my $50 as a bit of a thank you. I've known Hey Ash What'cha Playin for a long time and enjoyed it immensely and, from there, I found Ashly's brother's discussions about games as a medium and in a lot of ways it inspired me to take game design far more seriously and as of now I'm actually doing a speech in my college on that very topic.

      I really loved Ashly's acting and comedy as well so you guys get my full support. Great videos by the way.

      If the movie is half as good as the video you produced, then I can't wait to see it!

      Hey adam820 and Edmund,
      I think I can answer both your questions. I don't want to step on Dominic's toes here, but the Kickstarter goal is one-third of our budget and is ultimately what will get our production started. That's why, for me, this type of fund raising is so exciting, but also quite nerve-racking. If we don't reach our Kickstarter goal by the end date, the money doesn't go through. But we've looked into a few different avenues of finding funds. So the additional two-thirds of our budget is theoretically in place, but we don't have a dime of it in the bank yet. This is a low-budget independent film, so we have to utilize every penny and the more money we raise, the less of a stretch it'll be. The budget will go toward pre-production, cast, crew, equipment, craft services, and post-production. Then hopefully we'll have enough left for festivals!!!
      Hope that answers your questions.
      :)

      Is this $10,000 being lumped into the $30,000 pool to cover any all all film expense, or are there specific things this $10,000 is being used for (transportation, food services, etc.)?

      The funding is in place. Kickstarter is being used for remaining funds.

      "We need to raise $30,000 before going into production at the end of July, help us raise the first $10,000"

      Are you saying that you will be asking for 10k on 2 more occasions before you start the project?
      Or are you guys funding the remaining 20k yourself after this kickstart?
