Kickstarter

Thank you all so much for your pledges, your postings, your blogs, your emails: The 98 backers for this project got us past the finish line!

I'm glad to see CHANGING FACE OF HARLEM moved to the RECENTLY SUCCESSFUL category on Kickstarter!

Thanks to the generosity and support of each and every one of you we reached our kickstarter goal of $5,000. Your support got us to funding 126% of the goal and now we are able to begin working with an editor.

It is such a reward to know that people worldwide believe in this project and want to see it completed.

We will be in touch soon about rewards and with more information about the project and we will continue to update you on the film's progress. 

So you may ask: "My friend didn't make it in time to pledge on Kickstarter, how can they donate?" Please direct them to the film's fiscal sponsor: Women Make Movies.

If you are wondering, yes people can still pledge above the goal and yes you can revisit your account and increase your pledge!

There's still many associated costs in filmmaking...monies above the goal will be applied to covering costs to pay for the many archival photos and footage used in the film.
