      Our good friend Erica made a donation
      after having a couple mojitos
      but if the drinks were her sole inspiration
      is something that only she knows.
      We like to believe that our film is the reason
      fo this gift that she is bestowing
      and hope that we'll see her at the end of the season
      after "Night Train" has it's first showing!

      A thank you to Wolfgang who came on this site
      and didn't hold back for a minute
      Before making a pledge to our awe and delight
      towards our new film so we could begin it.

      And even though funding had passed our first goal
      he didn't hold back his largess
      We can't wait to share our new film as a whole
      to this honored and honorable guest.

      There once was a gal named Darlene
      Who thought our production was keen
      Said she: "I want to see more
      of this style 'mumblecore'!"
      And her pledge brought us joy quite extreme.

      Sorry- the poet that we keep on a leash in the backyard got into the locoweed and started adding in names higglety-pigglety. She's foaming at the mouth now and muttering something about "too many syllables".

    14 backers Limited (85 of 99 left)

    If you donate $50, you'll get a signed DVD of the final film and 2 tickets to our special underground pre-premiere for cast and crew and people like you. Be sure to wear the dark rimmed glasses that you earned with your 50 hipster points...but, only to be ironic.

    If you donate $100, you'll get the signed DVD, 2 tickets to the special underground pre-premiere, access to special bonus materials, and a "Scene Made Possible By" mention in the credits.

  • Pledge $1,000 or more

    0 backers

    If you donate $1000 you're so far underground you've struck oil. A Scenester of your caliber will get the signed DVD, 2 VIP tickets to the underground pre-premiere, access to special bonus materials, a "Presented By" card at the beginning of the film, and the producers of "Night Train" will take you out for dinner in Chicago's own Wicker Park neighborhood where the blue line el meets Damen street.
