WE MADE OUR GOAL! THANK YOU!

With your help we've raised enough money to make this film! Production is funded, and Ravel can come to life. 

Any donations over our goal would be greatly appreciated and well allocated, if you're interested in this film and its possibilities. Funds will go toward a higher production value and more exposure once we're finished filming.  Here's what we mean:

Hiring live musicians for the original score (Midi is good, but live is amazing)

The ability to compensate my cast and crew, since they're taking time from their regular jobs to help make this film

Festival fees are $35-50 a pop! Every leftover cent will go toward sending this film to festivals all over the country.  Maybe it'll end up in your town!

You've probably heard the story before: girl meets boy, girl likes boy, girl knits boy a hat, and then... wait, you don't know this one? Oh! Well, that's why we're making this film! 

Set in Central Park and filled with color, play, and an entrancing musical score, this silent film follows a dancing ball of yarn that brings two people together.  It's short, sweet, and as cozy as a homemade sweater.

We're assembling a brilliant cast and crew filled with people who feel passionately about the project.

Your greatly appreciated donations will go to the financing side of making this vision possible.  Contributions will pay for equipment rentals, location permits, insurance, food and transportation for our team, props and costumes, hair and makeup, post-production costs, mixing and mastering the score, distributing (and crafting!) your rewards, and CGI for the giant robot fight scene at the end of Scene 5.  (Giant robot fight scene may be cut due to lack of funds.) Anything we can save will be used to pay festival fees come the fall.  And by then your heads will be very warm. Did I mention I'll knit you a hat?

Oh, and how many times did you spot Lucky Chicken? 

Hint 1: He likes to hide in yarn...

Hint 2: The answer is four! Good luck!
