Update #2: New Pledge Option

Posted on June 16, 2011

Quite a few of you have asked why there isn't a perk/pledge option for around $500. We just wanted to let you know that we have listened and now there is that option - check it out! Thanks.

      Thank you so much to everyone that has helped us successfully reach our goal! We are truly grateful and very excited that so many of you have come together to make this happen.

      A question we are being asked .... do we still need funds? Yes we do. We have asked for $5000 as it is what we need for the next stage of production ... however fundraising will be on-going process. Any additional contributions go towards completion funding which is estimated at around $120,000. We know it sounds like an awful lot but for a high end doc it really isnt. Also.... more public (non-returnable funding) funds we get, the more we can give back to the communities involved in the production.

      Once again, thank you everyone that is making this project become a reality.
