Hey all,

I posted this in the Sanctuary thread, but it was suggested by someone smarter than me that I create a separate thread, as the info gets easily lost in the original.

I'd love for everybody to check out our Kickstarter campaign--just launched--for my short, directed by Garrett Adams and produced by Karen Kay Ross.

No pressure to contribute. But, any help in getting the word out is greatly appreciated.

Also, there's a video that includes a few shots from the short...if you want to get a glance at the quality of the production.

The people putting this together are quality people doing excellent work. I can't wait to share the finished project with everyone!

Thanks everyone! I hope you enjoy reading about the project!

Paul

Oh, and thanks to LC and Warren who have already contributed! I know I thanked you in the other thread, but I want you to get kudos everywhere you can!

Yep, people should definitely get on this. The hard work has already been done and it looks really Pro. I can only imagine what'll be done on Post Production. :)

I second this :)

HUGE shoutout to Don and SimplyScripts. Thank you for the contribution, the listing on the home page and ALL the continued support every day.

I'm just floored.

I love this place. All of you are just amazing.

Bump...

We have a donor that's willing to pop $2,000 if we can get 50 new contributors. Any help in getting the word out is appreciated.

Also, check out the Instagram page for more deets. For example, they're doing an "Indie Film" Q & A this afternoon for anyone interested.

Quick update...just passed the $15,000 mark with 10 days to go!

Thank you to everyone for their support, whether financial or spreading the word!!

Fantastic! That was one hell of a donation!

What's the target again, PK?
I'm being lazy, will look.

Target is $20K.

Here's a quick video from one of the producers...

Are you on facebook, Paul?

Quoted from Zack Are you on facebook, Paul?

I'm not. I am on Twitter (X) and LinkdIn, but not very active on either.

(I owe you a script read...sorry I've been slow!)

Quoted from PKCardinal (I owe you a script read...sorry I've been slow!)

You owe me nothing, dude. Read my script only if you want to. :)

Wish I could donate, but I'm currently gearing up for a production of my own. That said, I'll happily share your Kickstarter link with some people I know. :)

Thanks, man! Getting the word out is most of the battle. Much appreciated! (And, can't wait to see what you're gearing up for!)

33 hours to go and so damn close!!!

Quoted from Warren 33 hours to go and so damn close!!!

Getting even closer...12 hours to go. We have major donors lined up to pop for a series of goals based on the number of backers we get. So...one dollar donations from new contributors puts us closer to up to $7,000 in large donations.

Live streaming on Instagram today, all day. A video game marathon. I'll be playing from 4pm-8pm central time, along with the Director and one of our Producers.

At least...I think that's where you can see it. I know you can also see it on Karen Kay Ross's LinkedIn page.

10 hours to go. If we get 29 new backers for $1 each, we get $7000 and destroy our goal!

Make that 28.  :)

Wishing you the very best of luck with this, Paul!  Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Kathy

16 more $1 with 6.5 hours to go.

Thank you, Kathy!

I'm in.  Good luck, Paul.

Thanks, Abe! Much appreciated! I just jumped off the live feed, so I didn't get to give you a shoutout on the live feed. If I jump back in, I'll make sure to do that.

If anyone's been watching...hope you caught one of my SimplyScript mug drops!

Congrats, 100% funded!

Terrific!! Well done, PK.
I'd better make sure there's money in the account.  ;D
Just kidding.

Looking forward to seeing this!

Woohoo! We did it.

Raised just over $20,000 grand...though I haven't yet verified, but I don't think that counts the $7000 matching funds. So...$27,000?

Couldn't have done it without everyone here. Thank you Don, Warren, LC, Kathy, Abe and everyone at SimplyScripts for the support.

A reminder...since I wasn't managing the campaign, I can't see the backer's names. So, I only know who gave if you let me know. So...shoutout to anyone who gave but hasn't posted here. I very much appreciate it, and would thank you personally if I could.

Bit of fun news...with the finishing funds, we're able to speed up post-production. The goal: apply to Sundance. It's a moonshot for sure...but, sure is fun to think about.

One more thanks to everybody!!!!
