Update #9 · Aug 31, 2011 · 2 comments

Dear friends of Five Nights in Maine,

The count down is on! We have 29 hours to go and $1,999 to raise. We are so close!

We will end this campaign tomorrow changed. The support and generosity felt has been unbelievably moving and has given our project an incredible burst of momentum. We could not have gotten here without each of the 302 of you. Thank you! You are integral to this project.

Last night we gathered to celebrate the film, this campaign and my birthday. It was a lovely evening with beer, cupcakes and Kickstarter. Thank you to everyone who came out for a special evening. Thank you also to the folks who came out to pledge – from friends to fellow beer drinkers at Zeitgeist.

With 29 hours to go, we need to make our goal of $40,000 or we will lose it all.

Here are a few last things you can do:

1 – Send the link to 3 friends and ask them to support. Remember, pledges begin at $1.

2 – Post the link on your Facebook pages and Twitter feeds and tell people that you are a backer.

3 – If you can, raise you pledge by $5 or $10 to ensure we make our goal.

We appreciate your support more than you know.

You inspire us.

Eternally grateful,

Maris and the Five Nights team

PS -- These are the beautiful cupcakes (in a jar!) that my friend Melissa made for the event last night.

      I think this baby is gonna Happen. I'm in no way affiliated with anyone in this project in any shape or form and I'm so excited for it. I saw the posting through my friend Miles Maker and your video had so much heart and passion to it. I had to help support fellow film makers with such drive and passion. I wish all involved in this journey nothing but positive energy. Let the Quest begin, and I know it's a bit premature but CONGRATS!!! my heart and gut tell me this is going to reach it's goal by morning. I know I raised my pledge to give it that edge. NOW GO MAKE A MOVIE GUYS!!
