KILLER RACK: The Final Coundown

Yesterday was the cast reading for KILLER RACK, the movie I plan to shoot beginning in one month; it was also the world premiere for GAVE UP THE GHOST, the short film I directed based on Jeff Strand's short story.  Jeff came up for the premiere and participated in the reading.  The table read was hilarious, as I knew it would be, and the premiere was a success, with a great turnout.  I saw the screening version of the film (some tweaks to follow) at midnight, and knew it would play well.

Today is the final day of the IndieGoGo campaign for KILLER RACK.  I will not be sorry to see it go.  Between four weeks of Kickstarter, which raised $6,669 is pledges, none of which we saw because the campaign did not succeed, and three weeks of IndieGoGo, I've devoted an inordinate amount of time to raising money for this project; it has devoured my life.  But this is what independent filmmakers do - whatever it takes to get our films made.

As I key this in (on my wife's crappy laptop, because my daughter, cat and a cup of water conspired to take out my laptop and succeeded), we have raised $6,020 of our $7,000 goal - 86% funded, with 81 funders and 20 hours to go.  We need to raise $980 before 3;00 am EST, and then we can get on with making the movie.
