Billi and Theodore on Kickstarter!

Okay, so I know I have been awful with keeping up with this thing. I had a series of blogs reviewing what I saw at SXSW, but I never had the time to finish them off. It's not to say that I never will, but I really felt the need to post this blog seeing that you all can help me make my dreams a reality and that there has been some confusion on how it works.

So, as many of you know, I wrote a screenplay last year called Billi and Theodore which I tried to film in December. Because of investors backing out and other elements, it just didn't work out.

Now, we're trying again! We've made a page on Kickstarter, a website which allows most anyone to post their project with the idea of it being funded in three months. People interested in helping the project make a donation through the site. The makers of the project will provide incentives to people who donate various amounts.

However, the idea behind the site is that it's all or nothing. If the project doesn't reach it's goal by the end date, then the makers get nothing. On the flip side, no money is taken from the people donating until the project reaches it's end date and is successful.

With my project, I'm trying to get $11,000 by October 11th at midnight. Unless that goal is met, I get no money whatsoever and anyone who donates will only have their money taken out of their account on October 11th if that happens. We are already 3% there, but I know we should be doing better.

We really appreciate everyone spreading the word on the project, but I also hope that everyone posting links will also give at least $10 to the cause. We figured it up and if only 600 of my 670 friends on Facebook gave merely $19 towards the project, we would be well funded. Seeing that some very generous backers have already given more individually, that makes the amount even less.

Enough of me blabbing. I will let my pitch video and Kickstarter page do the rest of the talking. I hope that, now having a better understanding on how it all works, you will all put a little bit towards making my dream a reality.

For everyone who has ever believed in me, helped me, or supported my dreams and aspirations...I need your help now more than ever.

Thanks!
