Connected as Dillon Wall (523 friends)
Dillon Wall, Brandon Fraley, and Edward Hightower met in the midst of other projects. Their biographies are too full and varied to list in this space. Together they form the Pickled Amygdala production team. We recommend you watch the entire pitch video for an excellent representation of what they can accomplish as a team.
In the meantime, we offer this quote from Rumi:
"I tried to think of some way
to let my face become yours."
Sorry to keep posting here but there's been an offer of help from Twitter that I'd like to pass on. I contacted @BrandonLayng who created #SupportTheLittleGuy on Twitter and gave him your link. He said:
"I watched the video. It looks very promising & has me intrigued about the rest of the story. If you have anymore info on it I would be happy to write a blog posting to help spread the word."
If you'd like to send Brandon some info, you can contact him here:

Combing the two ideas from below - if everyone on your list of backers who is active on Twitter posted 2-3 Tweets with a link to your video, that could equal quite a bit of foot traffic to your project page.
Brainstorming ways to try to help ~ I just emailed three people (as being the people I know who could most readily be described as 'patron of the arts') to ask them to watch your video. Do you have a way to contact your 73 backers through this site? If so, you could ask everyone who has already pledged to email 2-3 people with the link to your video. Even if only half responded, you would still have the potential to raise your pledged amount rapidly.
With 8 days to go, maybe Twitter would be a fast way to spread the word. I've Tweeted you a couple of times but it would be great if there was something else to bounce off -- some way to get a buzz going on Twitter (or join one that's already there) that spreads because people know you and want to help. Do any of you have a network on Twitter?
WhitePhospherus,
Because many of our projects are not online (due to festival requirements, length limitations, etc), we felt the pitch video would be a strong indicator as to what the crew and creators are capable of. The video is, in and of itself, sort of a short film. And it captures a similar mood and lyricism to the script for "A Waltz."
That said, your point is well taken, and links have been posted in the bio section.
Thanks for your interest!

I'm interested in this but before I can think of donating, what've the crew and creators of the project done before? A friend sent me to this page but I don't see anywhere on the site of stuff Dillon or the others have done, things that'd give me confidence the money'd be well spent and something great could come out of it. This isn't a hater comment, I'm just curious
Nice work, Dillon! Best of luck - it's been great to have your presence in the writing class.
I'd really love to see this project happen. Great work guys and gals!
Compelling video! I can definitely relate to some of the questions posed by the story. I have taken (or partly taken) a few of those radical kinds of steps in my life . . . and then gloried in/suffered the consequences. It's natural for me to believe in the premise offered here. The two sets were a perfect contrast (in all our lives, which part is a stage play and which is real?) and the actors did a wonderful job. I felt nailed by the voice of the narrator. He penetrates through layers!
This was so good!! and I love the gryffindor scarf!! =)
