Yay! Challenge Grant Achieved!
Creator Danny Gagne on July 8, 2012
I'd love it if you offered a 20 - 30$ pledge level that provided a digital download. I wouldn't need any other rewards.
Congrats on your funding.
Creator Aldona Watts on July 6, 2012

Thanks, Aabra!
Creator Aabra Jaggard on June 26, 2012
Just upped my pledge. That subliminal message thing cracked me up!
Creator Wendy M. Levy on June 24, 2012
I'm glad someone is finally giving WFMU its celluloid due. (well, okay, I guess it's "digital due", right?)
I wish you the best in financing your film, and I'm sure you'll have no problem hitting your goal. You are almost there! I've shared this on my facebook twice, so hopefully some of my friends will pony up.
(p.s. - I'm the one in the Hot Dog Johnny t-shirt in the trailer, so not only am I a fan and a backer, I'm now apparently an actress. Ha ha.)

If you have a dropbox or something I have good footage of a Scharpling Hoof-N-Mouth performance I was in the audience for. I have more pictures than video but would share anything you'd want. Wish I had more $ to help at a higher level. -Danne D

Hey--- so glad this is happening Tim! Kudos on the USA today plug! I wrote you on twitterverse or something the other day-- i'm the one who has footage of Glen Jones' breaking the guinness world record on-air on fmu. Also have footage of past record fairs (I used to be special events coordinator at FMU). happy to share if it's cool by Ken and the gang! Love to help any way I can. - Jenni M

Thank you Jill! I'm here right now at NFCB conference shooting and I thought of you and your show. I can't wait to share this film with you.
Creator Jill Freidberg on June 14, 2012
I can't wait for this to get made. From one editor to another, please let me know if I can help out in anyway. I'm happy to look at edits. And from one community radio nut to another, I'll tell everyone I know to support it!
Creator Tim K Smith on June 13, 2012
Thank you. We're doing pretty good.
Creator Aabra Jaggard on June 12, 2012
The average per backer is $141! I've never seen a KS that high, congrats!
Creator Tim K Smith on June 12, 2012
Hey BGZ,
The subliminal messages are there for people to express themselves. In the words of Supreme Court Judge John Glover Roberts, "Corporations are people too!" (or something like that). So, do as you like. Just know that subliminal messages are unwieldy and that their placement next to other images may have unintended results.
Thanks for your support!
Tim
Creator BadGuyZero on June 11, 2012
Understood.
I work for a small, upstart event ticketing company based in Dallas. I was curious if there would be any potential issues with using our logo (or a variation of it) as a subliminal message. I completely understand if that's something you wish to avoid.
Thank you for making this film. I hope it will expose a whole new audience to the wonderful world of FMU.
Creator Tim K Smith on June 11, 2012
Hey BadGuyZero,
Subliminal message guidelines/conditions: I'd like say I didn't have any, but we'd like get the film properly distributed, so I'd hate to be forced to remove something by a distributor... try to avoid copyrighted material and have (a little) restraint with explicitness, but please be creative.
Creator BadGuyZero on June 11, 2012
Regarding subliminal messages...are there guidelines/conditions for what is permitted?
Creator Tim K Smith on June 11, 2012
Thanks David! I will keep you up to date and I will definitely check out your stuff.
Creator David Urbano on June 11, 2012
Tim, I glad you are taking up this cause. This was on my bucket list of projects to do. Please keep me posted and I'll do what I can to help get the word out.
