      I really wish I could get out to NYC to see the Grundy short Mattson. Wish you the best of luck on the screening, I'm sure it will be a big hit! Congrats on getting the project successfully complete.

      Keep working hard and you ll be fine. I applaud your passion.

      I'm leaving for Maine Saturday and won't be online again for some time, so I upped my pledge in hopes you'll get to 10K this week. Your work ethic is incredible and I hope you have time to spend a day or two at Onawa this summer. I'd love to have you drag me up the mountain again.

      Kicked in what I could, and would rather you keep the reward. I don't know you and don't know much about the product, but after watching the video and seeing your passion, I felt compelled to at least help a little.

      I hope you meet the goal and can produce the project. Good luck!

      Hey guys;
      I've been trying to donate for days, but the Amazon method just keeps going around in circles. Please give me another method to donate. I'm concerned that you are losing money from other potential donors. Thanks and Go Grundy!

      After helping w/Gregory Baynes story about one of my favorite Martial Artists in the works, I thought I would check out Kickstarter for projects that interest me. After watching your video, I must say that you seem to be wise beyond your years. Looking forward to spreading the word and I indeed hope you are able to make your goal. Peace, Sherry
