Yes, sadly we are nearing the end of our (First) attempt at success on KICKSTARTER. It has been a long but enlightening and informative run. We have seen a number of projects close to our hearts get funded. My wife successfully funded her PRESS ON 2009 project and our fellow Tinybrokennation member Mike Ambs successfully funded his second project in his Project Pedal/FTOM series. Many of you have expressed disappointment that things have slowed to a crawl with the SCENARIO 51 project. My response is a two part one. First, it is true that the Kickstarter portion of the project has slowed but it has also shown us what we can expect, at this time, from a pledge drive. We are aware that we are a group of relative unknowns however we have all worked in the industry for years and have a very thick skin. We are in the process of regrouping and rallying the troops for a second more focused run at Kickstarter. Second, Pre-production is racing ahead on SCENARIO 51 and Kickstarter or no Kickstarter we plan to have this movie going ahead on schedule. DAMN THE TORPEDOES - DON'T FIRE UNTIL YOU SEE THE WHITES OF THEIR EYES - NUTS! Well you get the idea.
Most importantly we have felt an outpouring of kindness and support from friends and family and from strangers that are either fans of the genre or fans of a good underdog story. To all of you we give a warm thanks and pledge our efforts to rocking your world in the near future!
TBF never says DIE! We have also decided to send out an award to all of the Tinybrokennation that came forward to support us in our hour of need. Contact us at Info@tinybrokenfilms.com and give us your contact information and you will receive a token of our appreciation and gratitude in the mail.
Anyone that pledged to our original drive, we will be back with a modified Kickstarter drive and we hope that you will transfer your pledges to this second attempt!
Viva SCENARIO 51 !
Viva TBF!
Vivan Los Tinybrokennation!
And, as always... WATCH THE SKIES!
