About Kickstarter: For those of you new to Kickstarter: welcome! Kickstarter's fundraising is goal-based and reward-centered: you contribute and get a prize in return.
The Catch: If we don't achieve our goal ($7500 by 11/15), we don't get ANY of the money (don't worry, if we don't get there you won't be charged). It is critical we make our goal, or we simply can't make the movie... So we need your support!
