We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Only 3 days remaining!

Update #1 · Sep 1, 2011 · 1 comment
Only 3 days left and only 19 Technicians have pledged (as little as $1) to tell the story of our gem of high school to the world? We're the real life FAME with grads doing big things in everything from the arts to politics. This film will tell the story of the school, the city of Detroit, and the people who made/make it a yearly contender in Steve Harvey's Hoodie Awards.We'll look at the groups (Snobs, Dolla, The Spirits, Ambassadors), the hangouts (Big Boy on Jefferson, Belle Isle, The Ren Cen) and the classes (from the 60's to present day) that made a difference. YOU can make a difference and get the chance to tell us about the teachers, counselors, coaches, etc. who made a difference in your life.This will be a live, fun project. Think Michael Moore's films not Ken Burns. Let's go CT!http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1798537331/mighty-tech-the-legacy-of-cass-technical-high-scho"

      Less than 71 hours remaining. It doesn't look good. Since I've never given up on ANY project I certainly won't give up on this one. But I'd be lying if I didn't say it's disheartening. Only 21 Backers? There were 3,000 people in my graduating class! Maybe I'll find another way to fund the film. Grants take months to apply for. I could always fund it myself? (like I've done previous films). Only time will tell. But thank you to all who did pledge. I appreciate each and every one of you!
