Update #2: Suggest Additional Prizes for Pledging

Posted on February 4, 2010

I want do something extra special to help encourage people to donate in the $100, $500 and $1000 range. Who better to ask than the people who have already caught the vision of this film?

I'm open to suggestions, even if you think they're ridiculous. What would encourage you or others around you to pledge $100, $500, $1000?

Free entrance to a future concert, a personalized video from the bands in Uganda, etc? The sky's the limit because these are simply ideas at this point.

If there are any great ideas, I'll adjust our profile to include the best suggestion or suggestions.

Also:
Great news! One of the staff members at Vimeo was inspired by the project and featured this project on their home page. The video received over 7,000 views and counting!

Thanks again for being a part of this. Please continue to spread the word.

      Concert access would be great. How about a phone call with the bands and/or filmmakers, or albums signed by the bands?

      Offer a $5000 backer the opportunity to have a private screening party in their home/location of choice? And, not sure how the arts & crafts industry is doing in Uganda, but bringing back gifts of local art, artifacts, fabrics (wax prints) might be good ideas for the $100/250 pledge range.

      All of these are great ideas. I'll run it by the bands, etc and see if we can come up with something fun.
