Has not connected their Facebook account.
Growing up in the small town of Vernon, British Columbia, I dreamt of making movies and worked hard to develop multiple skill-sets to accomplish that goal. From the age of 5, I read like crazy and started writing lengthy fantasy stories by the 4th grade. I taught myself to draw, paint and sculpt, and from there began to create latex masks and creatures. I started making movies when I was 9, beginning with my dad's Super 8 camera, and eventually working up to using ¾" Video editing systems in high school to learn how to tell a story cinematically. And I watched movies ... by the ton.
As a kid I was always drawn to genre films & TV: from "2001" to "Star Trek" to "Star Wars;" from "Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein" to "Night Gallery" to "Halloween;" from "The Golden Voyage of Sinbad" to "Return of the Dragon" to "Raiders" ...
After broadening my film appreciation in college, I used my abilities in art and directing to become (big surprise) an Art Director/Creative Director for several companies, and eventually worked for many years in the video game industry. Now I own and operate my own creative media company, hang-out with my amazing family and mountain bike quite a bit ... and every day, I still dream about making movies.

Thanks again for your support & interest!

I need to change my address for when it is time to ship. How do I do this?
You are absolutely inspiring.... I can see the deep passion you have for this project and good karma just radiates from you being. Congratulations! You are blessed....
Wow!!! I would love to see this. I'm happy for you that it got funded. I'll bookmark your blog to see if it could help answer my funding questions. Wish you were my storyboard artist!! ;)
I love how you weaved explanations about kickstarter into your video of "the price". I also love the "white out" effect for transition as a way to show time passing in an interview. you are talented! good for you...i'm proud of you! your project and the success it saw on kickstarter is hope that a new economic paradigm is possible. People just doing what they love and being supported by others through gifts. the gift economy is alive and well! :)
For those who may not know, I'm trying to use my website and Production Blog to help answer some of the many questions I've read below, so please visit at: http://www.theprice-movie.com/production-blog/
Hye Congratulations Chris!
Man, I actually feel like I'm going to make a movie! I'm very happy that you not only reached your goal and surpassed it, but that you are still generating interest and support!!!!
I've received a many comments like your Melissa -- and I'm happy to say it's not too late! I'm upgrading the film's website (www.theprice-movie.com) to include a PayPal button for anyone wishing to contribute now that the Kickstarter deadline has expired. It won't be up and functioning until next week, so please come and check then -- and thank-you so much for your interest!!!
OH my god.... I'm too late!!!! :( :( :(
But .. so happy for you that the goal is achieved!!!! Now we're all looking forward to the next stage. Best of wishes to you!!!
So... is it done yet? ;)
Congratulations! Big thanks to all supporters. Can't wait to see this movie!
Hurray! I was hoping to hear good news! Go The Price! I can't wait to see the final project.
I'm so glad we made goal! I got involved because it's a Gaiman story, even though I haven't read it yet!, and because it's an independent venture, because it's true to the story size and not some adrenalized, forced, spectacle of a full length movie, and most importantly because this is a project of the heart, from a fan, and as a fellow artist I'm so glad to see this kind of project happen. It gives me hope that art can have a life beyond that which is commercially viable and/or pretentious, propagandist, elitist, separated from the masses. The people have spoken!!!!!!!
Congrats! I helped on the last night -- can't wait to see the finished product, and kudos for succeeding with this important step on your self-guided creative path! : )
How can I continue to donate $ towards this project?
Ugh ... gonna sleep for a week ... but I'll be having GREAT dreams!!!
Good luck! We all want to watch your movie!
SO proud to be funding this, and that it was successful! congrats, christopher! i'm an independent animator myself, so seeing a project like this is really inspiring to me. i'm really excited to see how it turns out!!
Amazon told me my pledge had been refused and I nearly burst into tears at work, with disappointment :( Hadn't noticed my card had expired. All sorted now, just bring on the movie and wait for the awards to start coming in! (it will win stuff, I like to plan ahead)
There's something so fitting about one person over 2000. And I'm glad we were able to pad it a bit. Amazing -- now get some sleep Christopher! In your victory photo you look like you need a week's straight. :-) Congrats again!
My (nearly) three year old daughter just caught a glimpse of the video a minute ago and said "I want THAT movie!" My thoughts exactly. Am so proud to be a backer - sorry I couldn't afford more. A film as special and magical as this deserves every penny - thank you for making it for us.
I'm so excited for you (and so pleased with the 2000+ of us who have good taste)! Can't wait to see the finished product.
Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing the finished film.
Looking forward to the film. well done on your successful backing. :)

I had previously upped my pledge because I was afraid we might not make it. With all the support still coming in it seems like that was a very silly notion!
Congratulations, Christopher! This whole thing kind of blows my mind, but it's awesome.
I just had to increased my pledge! :) Good luck!
Fantastic!!! Congratulations - I'm thrilled and so looking forward to your movie. Glad to have been able to play a small part in this. :)
Congratulations, I'm excited to see the end result! I've just increased my pledge to make it even better!
Wow! Amazing! So happy to be a part of this!
Is that a 'hand of Sauron'..literally... poking into the side of your 'goal' photo across the screen of your computer? I knew the forces were at work on this project! lol... (mine holds all my recent cinema stubs - what blasphemy :p )
Great to see this happening! As an indie artist myself (musician) I've seen several projects come to fruition only through the help of people who believed in what we were trying to do and wanted to be part of it. Glad to be able to pass that along in this case! I just raised my pledge, can't wait to see this!!
