Update #4: Only 70 hours left for Sonicsgate project - 97% funded!

Posted on November 27, 2009

To our wonderful backers:

The “Sonicsgate” project is 97% funded with only 70 Hours left to donate! Thank you for your generous contributions!

Please help us hit our goal by telling everyone you know that this is their last chance to donate and help preserve Sonics history. We only need $173 to get over our $5K goal, and remember… if we don’t hit our goal your money stays in your pocket and we get nothing :-(

Every little bit helps, and we only need 87 people to donate $2 each to get there!

Once again, HUGE thanks to you for all your support. Once we hit our goal with your help, we will use the money to make DVDs for elected officials and continue fighting for the SuperSonics legacy. Most importantly, we will update the website with special bonus features, unseen interview clips and keep this film online for anyone to watch for free!

We are also excited to announce that SIFF Cinema has picked up "Sonicsgate" for a weeklong theatrical run from Dec. 11-17! More info at --> www.SIFF.net.

Rock on Sonics faithful,

Here’s a review of the prize donation levels:

$6 - Sixth Man Level - Donor's name appears on a personalized jersey in the Sonicsgate.org Virtual Wall of Fame.

$41 - Key Level - Donors receive a DVD copy of the film (this is the only way to get one before 2010).

$79 - Green Level - Donors receive the above plus a special thanks in the credits.

$141 - Gold Level - Donors receive the above plus an official Sonicsgate T-shirt.

$440 - Kemp Level - Donors receive the above plus an Associate Producer credit in the film.

Here's how Kickstarter works: we only get your contributions if we hit our goal. So if we don't hit $5K by the end of our 90-day Kickstart campaign, your generous contribution stays in your pocket and we get nothing! Spread the word and help us get there so we can hook you up with your free gifts, which will ship after our countdown to collect donations expires!

Update #3: Only 19 Days to Go!!!

Posted on November 11, 2009

We want to extend a HUGE THANKS to all our wonderful backers!! Sonicsgate is more than 70% funded with only 19 days to go in our Kickstarter campaign, and we obviously couldn't have done it without you!

Please spread the word to friends and family and help us hit our goal! Every little $1 donation is huge at this point, and remember we don't get a penny of it unless we hit our $5K mark.

Rock on Sonics faithful! We will make sure our history is preserved and keep up the fight for a new team.

Update #2: A Successful Premiere - THANK YOU!

Posted on October 13, 2009

Want to send a HUGE THANKS to you for contributing to Sonicsgate!

We had a successful premiere weekend, and we couldn't have done it without you. Thanks for you generous contributions, and we are getting close to our $5,000 goal!

Your gifts will ship the week of November 30th, after the Kickstarter window closes. Remember we don't get anything unless we hit our goal, so send your friends to SONICSGATE.ORG to help out for the cause!

Update #1: Denver and Vegas!

Posted on September 12, 2009

Just got back from a crazy week of interviews! Flew to Denver on Wednesday and interviewed Coach George Karl for an hour before flying home the same night. Then turned around and left for Vegas the next day to interview Gary Payton himself in his house! Costly and exhausting, but so worth it to get that footage!

Thank you for your contributions!
