Because of you, we can see the finish line
On Saturday, I reached the end of a 22 page list of all the people and organizations I've contacted about 'From the Sky' over the past month, including local TV, radio, print, public figures, national media outlets, and human rights organizations. We have some incredible partnerships in the works, and Producer Jessica Grant and I have shaken every tree we could think of...but none of that would matter without your incredibly generous contribution.
Jessica and I will be back once this fundraising campaign is over, with a video intended for those who have stood with us by making a donation. We have a few things to say to you that we want to share on camera.

Unbelievable!
Backers, something has changed significantly in the past few days.
It took us the first 15 days to raise $6,325. This in and of itself is a significant achievement.
In the last 4 days, we've raised another $5,580!
We are now 64% funded!
We're also 2/3rds of the way through the fundraising campaign: with 10 days left to go, and $6,595 more to raise.
Unbelievable. I can't tell you how much time I've spent shaking my head in disbelief over the last few days. I am truly overwhelmed by your incredibly generosity and commitment to share this project with friends and social media contacts. Thank you!
You've seen my mug twice already in videos, and you've been introduced to Producer Jessica Grant if you watched the fundraising update video. Here's Director of Photography Ty Migota through his narrative demo reel, so that you can get a taste of his incredible talent for capturing rich and captivating moving images:
I'll be back before the end of the fundraiser which is set for the end of day February 27. Let's see this thing across the finish line!

We've reached the halfway point!
Hello backers!
Well we've reached the midpoint of the 30-day Kickstarter fundraising campaign. Producer Jess Grant and I recorded a short video last weekend to discuss the fundraising progress and next steps as we aim for the finish line on February 27. We also touched on the sudden prominence of drones in the media.
Please follow the link below to view it. You can also check out the video by scrolling towards the bottom of our Kickstarter profile.
thank you so much! We'll have another update next week.
