Update #5: We did it! What's Next?
Hi Everyone!
At 6:25 pm on Jan 10, with your support -189 amazing backers - we reached our Kickstarter goal of raising $10,000 to offset finishing costs and Sundance premiere expenses with 8 days left in the campaign! While $10,000 was a conservative goal to ensure that we weren’t on the wrong side of the Kickstarter “all or nothing” system, we still need more funds to defray costs AND look at this next phase of the campaign as an opportunity to start giving back.
To that end, the Pariah the Movie family is excited to announce that $0.50 of every dollar pledged above our $10,000 goal will be donated to The Ali Forney Center in support of their mission to provide homeless LGBT youth with safe, dignified, and nurturing environments where their needs can be met, and where they can begin to put their lives back together. (http://www.aliforneycenter.org)
Thanks so much for your time, consideration and support!
Sincerely,
Dee & Nekisa
