We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on April 8, 2012.

You guys are great!

Update #5 · Mar 13, 2012 · comment

One week ago today, we launched this Kickstarter with some high hopes for what we thought was a high goal. The response that followed has been truly inspiring. Seven days later, we're $335 away from the halfway point,  thanks to the donations of 60 generous supporters. We are also going to post another producers hostage update video at the half way mark of $7500!

As always, thank you for your support. Whether it's a donation of money or passing this campaign around, it all adds up and it all helps. Keep up the good work, you guys rule!

You're sure to hear some great stories of the fun and struggles that we will most definitely have while making the film.

    Absolutely everything above, plus you’re gonna look oh-so-fine in a brand new “The Jungle Room” T-shirt. This T-shirt features the logo from the film’s biggest character, the remarkable bar “The Jungle Room”! These T-shirts are high quality, eye catching and you can only get them here. Please be prepared to answer the question “Why is there a smug gorilla with a top hat and monocle on your T-shirt?”

    All of the above plus an official “Worst Night to Grow a Pair” signed poster and a personalized message from Rambis posted on your Facebook and on our Twitter feed! Rambis is an incredibly unfunny and violently unstable comedian and is the antagonist of our film. The video message might be a thank you or a song or even a joke from his insane set that has gotten him kicked out of every club in town. You can make a request but WE DO NOT CONTROL RAMBIS! It may be the best video you will ever have posted on your facebook not of kittens.

    "Grass Roots Producer"! We can tell you're serious about filmmaking and want you on the FrankenHuffer team! Not only do you get everything above but you'll also get a special thanks in the credits of the film and the choice of a limited edition “Classic” Frankenhuffer T-shirt instead of the awesome "The Jungle Room" shirt! We're sorry, we know it's a tough call. We haven’t had this style for quite a while and the plan is to retire them after this run. These T-shirts look damn good on everyone and you can only get them here! When people ask where you got your old school Frankenhuffer T-shirt, please be prepared to break people’s hearts as you inform them that the only place to get the shirt was on through this “Worst Night to Grow a Pair” kickstarter campaign. Or better yet, tell them about it now...

    "Executive Producer". Everything an "Associate Producer" gets but you'll be credited as the "Executive Producer" that you are! Plus, you get a dive bar tour of Seattle! The producers have hand picked the dingiest, most entertaining, most authentic, non-hipster-having dive bars our fair city has to offer. Join us to see how the other half lives and where the producers meet up to get their creative juices flowing. On this tour, back up will be provided if you “get into it” with regular patrons that “don’t like the look of ya”. You will be exposed to the beautiful world of real juke boxes, unreasonably strong drinks and colorful language. You will never feel so alive and drunk! Is the producers’ love and knowledge of Seattle dive bars sad or impressive, you be the judge! (Production will be in Seattle, WA. Travel and lodging is not provided.)
