previous rewards plus a signed copy of the DVD screener.

Pledge $250 or more
previous rewards plus an Associate Producer credit listing on the movie.
Pledge $500 or more
previous rewards plus dinner with the director, Michael Knox, and the editor, Martin Ramsey, in Asheville, N.C. The backer must make arrangements to get to Asheville, where we will show you around town before dinner.

This is a personal part of this film and a treasured hat that Knox still wears often as a reminder of the fun he had filming this circus documentary that honors his life with the Cole Bros. Circus.

I worked as a reporter for 10 years, covering anything from interviews with NASCAR drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Rusty Wallace to a red carpet event with Owen Wilson and Cheech Marin.
I worked for five years at one newspaper, the Independent Tribune, where I covered the cops and courts beat for the daily newspaper with a circulation of 20,000 plus.
I left the Independent Tribune in September 2007 to go into filmmaking and my first feature film was a documentary about the circus I traveled with as a child. The movie, "Tearing Down the Tent," focuses on the Cole Bros. Circus, which my grandparents used to work in. I am a third generation circus traveler who became a repoter before going into filmmaking.
I am currently working on my my second documentary focusing on a local roller deby team, the Blue Ridge Rollergirls in Asheville, N.C.
I will be working on my third feature film, a road trip documentary about the band Hellblinki Sextet, who I will film when I go on tour with them to promote, "Tearing Down the Tent."
