GOAL!

Update #4 · May 24, 2012 · 4 comments

Hurray! 

We have reached our goal today, one day ahead of schedule! Thanks to all of you great people who have been so supportive, which has and will further inspire us to bring forth a really great and wide portrait of George Maciunas.

Raising $20,000 on Kickstarter is a great achievement and we want to tell you how grateful that we are for your generous support, however, the project will need more money for the future steps in the filmmaking. Our project will be online until Friday (midnight) which means we are still welcoming donations and encourage you to keep spreading the word even though we have met our goal.

Also, we plan to create a thank you party in the near future here in NYC, so please stay tuned!

With my Best Wishes

Jeff Perkins
