Kickstarter

Hero Exec Producer Glenn, one of our early supporters, just helped us cross the $50,000 mark. In the words of my mentor, Homer Simpson: "Woo-Hoo!"

This is the point where we try to encourage potential backers to still donate. This is a very small amount of money with which to make a movie and every bit more counts and will make the movie look better, sound better, and frankly have more awesome! So if you were planning to back, there's no reason not to.

In addition to raising this money and getting this movie off the ground, I've spent the last few months on a low-carb diet. I intend to celebrate this evening by cheating for the night and eating some ice cream.

Thank you to everyone who made this possible. I need to spend a few hours to write down the huge list of people, it's so long. A huge special thanks to every backer and everyone who championed us (Jason and Horace in particular went above and beyond to garner media attention). Expect a very long list of thanks very soon.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We did it.

Expect a more detailed update from me as soon as I can stop jumping up and down shouting in joy.

I'm about to have a heart attack. The tension is KILLING ME!

Thank you everyone. This is incredibly exciting.

21 hours to go. 80% funded. My nails are being bitten.

It is totally within our grasp and possibility to fund successfully. We've had terrific days the last two and we have a few big backers who've held out until the end. 

However, it's hardly a given that we're going to make it.

Man, if this Kickstarter were a movie it would have a great last ten minutes.

Help us make the last ten minutes of this kickstarter a success. We have until 7:19pm Eastern time to successfully raise another $10,000 or we get nada. Spread the word, in an email, on facebook, on twitter, in your blog, on Fox News, in Skywriting over dense population centers, or by very quickly publishing an excellent novel.

And once again backers, thank you. I have never felt as much self-worth as I do right now.

Step away from your computer for a few hours and look what happens.

We're at 70%. WE CAN DO THIS.

I can only look back at how bleak things looked last night in screenwriter terms...That was my "All is Lost Moment." The "Dark Night of the Soul." But of course, night is darkest before the dawn.

WE'VE ENTERED THE THIRD ACT!

We still have a long way to go and just 2 days in which to do it. But it's not impossible. And we're going to do it.

TO THE BACKERS: Thank you. You've been incredible. Help us just a little bit more by spreading the word...

And once again, there is nothing in the world that can overcome the fact that so many people are rooting for you to succeed.

NOTE: the outpourings of support i've received in just the last 7 hours are extraordinary. Thank you. WE CAN DO THIS!

Tonight Kickstarter switched our count down from days to hours. We have just hours to find approximately 40% of our money. To be frank, it looks dire.

I'm am awake right now worried about the future of the project. But no matter what happens, I can walk away feeling triumphant.

Because I can't remember a time when this many people were rooting for me.

Hundreds of people–most of them complete strangers before this experience–want us to succeed. There is no setback in life, no amount of hate, no personal failure that can overwhelm that feeling. I'll remember it always.

You have shared our idea in every way...on blogs, on podcasts, on twitter, on Facebook and in emails. 

• Thank you. 
• Thank you. 
• Thank you.

I'm sure you'll continue to share this with the world. And in advance, I say again, Thank you.

We have just 66 hours left to make this happen.  I don't plan on sleeping much. And once again, thank you for your generous support. I'll never forget it.
