      Congratulations, TILT team! This campaign was a joy to back and totally rewarding to follow. I'm so fortunate to have become aware of so many of the other backers as a result of Phil, Julie, and Jessica's tireless social media outreach. You worked hard to get the message out there and it paid off. I'm a fan till the end.

      Too perfect to pass up: fellow West grad helping Julie (Kfink) make a film, and becoming backer 201. Good luck guys!

      Thank you, Konrad. Your support is much appreciated. I am also so glad that you are looking forward to just the type of film we are going to deliver.

      Hopefully my contribution to make it $1198 away from your goal will encourage others to close that gap. Looking forward to seeing a well-crafted film that will set new standards for indie film.

      Dear Everybody Else Who's Already Pledged:

      I just did some math (yeah, who knew?) and have discovered this: the kids have $8,434 left to raise in 17 days - that means that if each one of us (106) pledges an additional $79.56, they are a go.

      Just to tell you how smart I am, I did the math & increased my pledge about 15 minutes ago, when the additional pledge amount was $80.32 - so feel free to take advantage of this discount and let's get these DAMN KIDS OFF THE STREET & INTO A PROJECT.

      Thanks - Lee Sweet
