Funding Successful
This project successfully raised its funding goal on March 20, 2010.
Pledge $5 or more Pledge $5 or more
A sincere "thank you" on the PYTYK blog (PeopleYouThinkYouKnow.com/theblog) with a link to your own blog or website (if applicable of course). GET THIS WITH ANY PLEDGE OF $5 OR MORE.
Pledge $10 or more Pledge $10 or more
My mom's secret recipe to my favorite Iranian dish: from northern Iran, "anar-beej." You won't regret it. GET THIS WITH ANY PLEDGE OF $10 OR MORE.
Pledge $30 or more Pledge $30 or more
You can be in the movie. I would like to create a sequence where people from all over the country/world speak about their own immigration experiences, notions of home, feelings about their culture, thoughts about PYTYK, etc. You're invited to record your thoughts on these topics and send them to me. I will do my best to feature it in the project (either through the website, blog or ideally the feature film). Video quality is not an issue - even webcams are fine as the movie's subject-matter touches on the Internet Generation as well. Alternately, you can write your thoughts and I will have them done in voiceover. More specific instructions/questions to come once fundraising ends. GET TO DO THIS WITH ANY PLEDGE OF $30 OR MORE.
Pledge $35 or more Pledge $35 or more

Deluxe Edition DVD(s) - The the Special Edition DVD(s) PLUS an original, frameable black/white drawing of a scene from the movie - drawn by myself. You can choose a shot from the video on this page or from the many more videos on the official site. Otherwise, you can let me surprise you. (I would like to illustrate the shot of my mom looking at the flowers...so that will probably be the first one going out. Act now!) In style, the illustrations will be something like the line drawings here: http://cargocollective.com/AK (click on "illustrations / sketches") and will be around 10x10 inches.
