ADD-ONS - a simple way to get more!
Choose the Add-ons you want. Do the math. Adjust the dollar amount of your pledge accordingly - adding on the total cost of your Add-Ons. You don’t have to choose a different Reward. Yes, you can choose ALL of them if you’d like!
When the campaign ends you will get a survey asking if you added-on and if so, which add-ons you chose.
You will not be charged until after the campaign ends THIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT 6pm PST.

Risks and challenges
We've been in production for close to 12 years, creating and delivering media. We have realistic timeframes built into our production schedule and have accounted for manufacturing delays, proofing, subtitling etc. Any delays would be minimal, a matter of weeks, not months. We are hard at work as you read this! ~Rachel Coleman
