July 29th - $65,000 Reached!
Today, July 29th 2012, Fight for Space has reached it's minimum funding level of $65,000. This achievement comes on the same day that President Dwight D. Eisenhower first singed the National Aeronautics and Space Act, so we are proud to be in good company.
Now, we must push for greater frontiers. With your help, if we can continue to push this level of funding until our end date of August 19th, we can bring this documentary to new heights.

If we can reach $100,000: We can work towards bringing this film to the masses in a theatrical release and more broadcast networks. A higher funding level also means that we will be shoot this film on better cameras, bring in additional and talented artists, designers, cinematographers, photographers, and researchers.
Please help boost our funding level to $100,000 or more. With every extra dollar pledged our film becomes that much better. Here are some of the things we will be able to work towards if we exceed our goal.
- Theatrical Release
- Additional Distribution Methods
- Higher Resolution Cameras
- More Locations
- More Interviews
- Improved Design Art for the Rewards
- Greater Level of Research
- Larger Crew, Improved Cinematography
- Larger Orchestra for our Musical Score
Please keep sharing, tweeting, and writing! With your help we can make this project even better than we planned! Fight for Space.

I would definitely see this in theaters!
Creator Vince Loyd on July 29, 2012
Probably not one of the places where this film would thrive but if this gets enough funding for a theatrical release, it would be awesome if it came to Little Rock, Arkansas.
Creator Daniel Dabrowski on July 29, 2012
Congratulations on reaching the goal!
Creator Alex Golden on July 29, 2012
