As of this moment, our Indiegogo campaign is complete. After 30 days of Facebooking, emailing, tweeting, and every other method of online communication. We fell short of our fundraising goal. The total raised was $1,370 which is well short of our $9,000 that we were asking for. Crowdfunding is a weird animal all onto itself. You're relying on friends to part with their hard earned money for a project that they're not involved with. Some of whom you haven't spoken to for years. You kind of feel like your part of some sort of pyramid scheme, or your a door to door salesman.
In the end, we still have enough to shoot one scene which we will do in March. We'll then cut that scene together, and use it for a second round of promotions and fundraising. With the money that we raise, we'll shoot the rest of the film in April. In a way, not raising our budget is a kind of blessing. It forces us to think creatively on how to execute this film. It won't be easy, but it will be worth it.
