Hey Everyone,
I'm thrilled to announce that as of 4:29pm yesterday, we met our $35,000 Kickstarter goal! A gentleman I didn't know put us over the top with this funny tweet: |
|
| I want to THANK all of YOU who told your friends and family, shared on Facebook and Twitter, gave moral support and even donated. We could not have done this without a huge team effort!
BUT, we can't stop yet! We still have a little less than 2 days left on this campaign and so much more to do on the film. As you know, any and all funds we can raise will be put to good use, and every additional dollar will help make DriverX even better. For starters, we still need to design the DriverX app and then composite it onto the phones we see in the film. And my $35k only covers bare bones editing, color correction, sound design and music. Beefing all of this up will really make the film shine. And then there are film festival expenses, marketing materials, etc., etc. I think you get the picture!
Please keep up the great effort for our few remaining hours and help us raise as much money--and spread the word to as many people--as we can. This will be the only time that people can not only contribute to the film financially, but also be a part of it in a unique and rewarding way.
Again, here's what you can do:
- Email close friends and family members to check out our page and donate. You can hard sell this or soft sell this, but a personal email from you is the most effective way to secure a donation. Let them know there are only hours left in the campaign.
- Post something on your Facebook wall or share a post from our DriverX page to your wall.
- Like and comment on posts that we make to our DriverX Facebook page. This opens up the Facebook algorithm wall and allows more people to see our posts.
- Retweet our posts on Twitter. We post stuff all day and there's sure to be something that you'll want to share with your followers. Our social team is creating some really fun posts!
- Like and comment on our Instagram posts.
We only need this effort for a little while longer--quite literally, hours now. Let's go out with a bang!! |
| | | WE MADE INDIEWIRE'S PROJECT OF THE DAY!
I wanted to also let you know that we just made IndieWire's Project of the Day! Check out the write up and please, spread the word. Eventually we will be competing for Project of the Week and we'll need everyone's help to get votes. More on that later...
Thanks so much again to everyone on this great success. This was a long, hard 30 days, but we did it! Now on to making the best DriverX we can!!
Best, Mark
