IndieGoGo

You may have noticed the little link over on the right hand side for the film's IndieGoGo page. What exactly is IndieGoGo, you ask? Well, it is basically a way for us to raise funds for the project via the internet. You can donate for any amount and the funds go directly into the production budget. I tried something similar with "Ugly (Is a Movie)" and it actually worked fairly well, but unfortunately not well enough. It's a pretty interesting trend in the independent film fundraising world called "crowdsourcing". The idea is simple; reach as many people as possible and get a bunch of small donations instead of looking for one big fat check from a heavy hitter investor. If we can reach 3000 people who are each willing to donate $1 then we will be set for our entire production budget. So as much as I feel like Jerry Lewis or Sally Strouthers right now, if you have a spare moment to donate even $1 to the production via IndieGoGo it all adds up. I am trying my damnedest to do this thing for little to no money, I learned my lesson with "Ugly (Is A Movie)" that as much as people support a film with their minds and hearts, they just simply can't support it financially in this economic climate. That's very understandable. I can barely part with my hard earned cash for any reason right now. But if you have even $1 to contribute to the cause, please consider it. Thank you for your time, back to your regularly scheduled programmming...
