      So happy you got you funded! I'm so glad I found out about this project (I can't remember how - I honestly think it was some random clicks from the kickstarter home page) because it's really cool. Great job all around!

      Lucas, I wish I could do more but did what I could. Hope you make it to your goal so you can get back to eating, sleeping, drinking more film!

      This sounds like a great project and I'm hoping that you get funded. I have pledged at the $100 level. I have backed a number of Kickstarter projects and so I just wanted to pass along these thoughts. People really like stuff! Really! So I think that if you are able to get some more DVDs to offer as rewards, that might drive your pledges. Personally, I would love to have a DVD of Rising Star and I'm hoping that in my one-hour session with Marty that I will be able to talk him into giving me a copy. The other thing that I think would be totally cool is a list of the films that Lucas worked on during the year and where they were shot and how long he was there and what he did for that particular film. It doesn't have to be terribly fancy. If you wanted to send me the info, I could put it together for you and print it out - a single page flyer or a mini brochure or something. So those are my thoughts. Hope this helps. And hope you get the funding.

      Happy to back again! Lucas was an invaluable crew member on "The Stagg Do" and I was happy to meet him on that set.

      Shout out to Lucas, met you when auditioning for CXL in San Francisco, and was amazed when I stumbled upon this via nofilmschool.com!

      This looks like an awesome project! Wish I could afford to pledge more.
      It is entirely the fault of Trin Miller that I found out about this campaign.
