Update #37: NEW CAMPAIGN
Hey Everyone!
Since successfully reaching our goal for this campaign two years ago, we have been to Detroit and back and collected over 500 hours of footage. Right now, we are in the thick of post-production and nearing the finishing line! So much has changed since we launched this campaign. Please check out our new campaign to learn all about our progress and help support our post-production fundraising push. We have a new website, new team members, new trailer, and more! You can find links below! Thanks!

Update #36: Help take STREET FIGHTING MAN to the next level!
We can’t thank you enough from being on board from the very beginning of this project. You’re an integral part of our team, and that’s why we wanted you to be among the first to know that we are launching another Kickstarter campaign in an effort to raise the remaining funds required to complete this film:
http://www.tinyurl.com/streetfightingman
Since you last heard from us, the team of STREET FIGHTING MAN has been hard at work shooting the remainder of the film, applying for several documentary grants, hosting fundraising events, and expanding what began as a small crew into a working team, full of producers, editors, advisors, and a composer. We are currently working toward a rough cut and we plan to be completely done with the film by late summer.
Post-production is the most expensive phase of this film. We are trying to raise over $60,000 over the next two months! We recently secured a sizable donation from an investor in Detroit, but we are still a ways out from reaching our goal. While our Kickstarter goal may seem relatively low by comparison at only $20,000, reaching that figure will push our overall post-production budget towards the $60,000 mark and allow us to pay for the following items:
1. Editor (Greg Snider, award-winning editor of How to Die in Oregon)
2. Composer (will be announcing soon)
3. Archival news footage
4. Sound editing and mixing
5. Color correction
Creating a truly lasting film requires that we collaborate with talented people, use the most professional techniques available for film and sound processing, and market the film through as many channels as possible. These are crucial ingredients for the completion of a quality film that will do justice to the stories we've captured.
With your help, we can make the best possible version of STREET FIGHTING MANand get it to the widest audience it deserves.
We are humbled by your continued support. We hope you’ll take a moment to check out our new kickstarter campaign. We’ve added some additional rewards that may interest you. More importantly, we invite you to take an active role in bringing this project that YOU helped start across the finish line. Please share the link to the kickstarter campaign on Facebook, Twitter, or any other outlet you have access to.

We couldn’t have come this far without you, and we hope you’ll help us see this through to the end!
Thank you!
