Update #6: ONLY $725 left to raise in the next 2 hours!
Hello Backers and thank you so much for your support.
The great news is that 72 of you have supported me and helped me get so close to my final goal. If there are any of you left that have not increased your contribution - now is the time to do it. Help me finish my film! I only need to raise an additional $725 to be successful.
Thanks so much for your continued support and I look forward to hitting my fundraising goal with you!
Warmest regards,
Maia Cybelle
Update #5: 9 hours to go and $1315 left to raise!
Greetings backers of my finishing funds for "Nous". We are down to the deadline. I only have a few hours left to raise $1315. That means is just 14 of you (there are currently 67 of you - wow!) put in an additional $100, my Kickstarter campaign can be successful. My film gets finished and you get my never-ending gratitude, fabulous rewards and the good feeling of supporting independent cinema!
If you can manage to increase your contribution, I would be VERY grateful.
Thanks so much in advance for your continued support.
Let's get this Kickstarter fully funded! The clock is ticking....

Update #4: Urgent: 27 hours to go, $1830 left to raise!
Evening greetings.
This is just a little reminder that there are only 27 hours to go and I need to raise $1830 in order for my Kickstarter to be successful. Otherwise, my film "Nous" (16mm, 29 min. ) will not be completed. Kickstarter only works if you meet your goal in the specified time.
That said, if you contributed already and can increase your award, even by just a little bit, I would be really grateful.
Also, I would like to add that if you do increase your contribution by at least $250, I will let you choose one additional reward in the first 6 reward categories- JUST FOR YOU!
Thanks so much again for your continued support. I hope to be successful in raising the finishing funds for my film and it means a lot for you to participate.
Warmest regards,
Maïa Cybelle
