On this last day, thank You!!!!!
Dear Soul Food Junkies Backers,
On this final day of the year, on the final day of the online drive, and on my 42nd birthday (today is my birthday!), I just want to take a moment to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for your pledge to the "Soul Food Junkies" Kickstarter drive. On behalf of myself and the God Bless the Child Productions team, we truly appreciate every single dollar you pledged. We are excited and encouraged about how the community has stepped up to make sure that the film gets completed.
As we mentioned in the Kickstarter intro, we had always planned to focus on community engagement and marketing of the film if we reached our target goal of $25,000. Having done that, we're gearing up to offer free screenings throughout the country, create and distribute curriculum materials and other resources for educators, develop a resourceful website, give away cool promos, and so much more! Everything BEYOND the $25,000 will go toward these kinds of intiataives. So if you know someone who would want to support this project, please let them know that today is the last day to make a Kickstarter pledge. And even if you wanted to increase your own pledge, Kickstarter has a way for you to do that too!
Because of your support, we're extra committed to making a stellar film that you can be proud of. Again, thank you for everything. Please consider signing up to my email list so that we can keep you abreast of the film's developments beyond Kickstarter. You can sign up at www.BHurt.com. Have a great New Year!
Sincerely,
Byron Hurt
