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 September 9, 2012.

HELP US MAKE HISTORY!

Update #17 · Sep 6, 2012 · 66 comments

Okay Kickstarters, it's the last 67 hours!

We are only $52K away from being the most funded film in Kickstarter history!

If every backer increased his or her pledge by just $11 we could do it!

To help us get there we are offering a couple last minute incentives:

Anyone who increases their bid by $25 you will get an EXCLUSIVE LIMITED EDITION ANOMALISA CREW T-SHIRT, only available to members of the actual Anomalisa crew and those people who up their bid by $25!!!

We are also adding a new "LAST MINUTE HELP" tier for $5. If anyone pledges $5 or more, they get their name posted on the official Anomalisa Facebook page and a Downloadable 1 minute clip from the official animatic! (An animatic is an animated version of the storyboards with the actors’ voices and temp music/ sound FX that is used as a blueprint for the finished animation) Don't worry, everyone who has already pledged higher than $5 will get this automatically!!

Thank you so much everyone! Now, let's make history!!!

      @ CJ - Every time a previous backer increases their pledge, an email is sent to our producer. She is making a list and keeping track. For those of you who just have a first name for a user name, please shoot us an email, so that we may have a last name as well. Thank you!

      @ Barbara - Usually we get a cotton tshirt. You can either email me your size now or at the end.

      Thank you and good morning!

      @Dax - Thanks for upping! I am sorry to say that those posters went like hotcakes. We got over 150 emails in about 5 minutes and the last 50 for tweets went quick too. Unfortunately we only had 200 donated from our awesome friend Rob Schrab and I think that was his last box. Thank you for upping and supporting us. If we come across more posters we will get them out there. :)

      Upped for a shirt.

      Would happily pay $5 more (and still-probably-would-but-maybe-a-bit-less-happily pay $10 more) for one of those Harmonless Community posters I'm assuming I didn't win the other night because I didn't receive an e-mail saying so...

      It's a very cool poster.

      Creator Jay Gillespie on September 6, 2012

      I upped my bid by over $25. I assumed any increase of $25 or more will get the T-shirt, right? You don't have to increase by exactly $25?
