One Week Left
John has just returned from talking at the Format International Photography Festival in Derby, England. Across the world, the interest in Vivian Maier and her story is growing strong.
Here on Kickstarter, the power of the crowd has spoken and we've surpassed our minimum goal handsomely. While in our last days, we'd like to thank all of our backers. Thank you!
The pre-production will begin soon and we're thankful for resources available for us to make this film well. We're counting down the last days of the pledge drive and any continued support is welcomed and needed.
Again, we can't thank our supporters enough for helping us create this film. We'll be working hard to make you proud.

Congratulations that "we" made it passed the big 100.000 dollars. I am looking forward to the book and the documentary. Good luck.

The Vivian Maier photo exhibit in Chicago closes next month (April). I hope you can find a venue for a second exhibit, one that shows her depth, such as Chicago photos or photos on a certain theme. The Chicago Cultural Center exhibit was superb, and showed Vivian's breadth of experience. Now I'd like to see her depth of field.
Creator Lynne Rostochil on March 8, 2011
That's great news! I can't wait to see more about Vivian and her gorgeous photography.
Creator Boudewijn Boer on March 8, 2011
Congratulations with the funding! Couldn't ask for more right?! Take care.

Will there be any other places hosting a Vivian Maier exhibit? Don't think we can make it to Chicago in time and I am really hoping to see some of her work in person. I think you should have an exhibit at the Des Moines Art Center. Please?
Creator Juliette Mansour on March 7, 2011
Fantastic news!! I too am hungry for more. Great work and I can't wait to see the film!
Creator Janet Hadley on March 7, 2011
I traveled to Chicago to see the exhibit. Absolutely fabulous. Many of her beautiful images are indelibly printed on my mind's eye. I am hungry for more. An unexpected delight was the collection of her hats displayed along with the art. Also, I was impressed with the number of visitors to the exhibit in the short time I was there. Good work... looking forward to the film.
Creator Robert C. Anderson on March 7, 2011
