The Killer, the Rack & the Ultimate IndieGoGo
Crowdfunding.
For the last month, while pushing the KILLER RACK T-Shirt campaign to raise funds to submit our film to festivals, I toiled on prepping another IndieGoGo campaign. We ended up selling 60 shirts, pretty good, but we won't know how much we raised until Monday or Tuesday. Festival/screening expenses are going to run us $3,000, and our investors are tapped out, and I'm personally so far into Negative Income that I can't possibly charge these costs to my credit cards, so doing another crowd funding campaign was inevitable. "Cyber pan handling," as a friend of mine calls it, is a drag: it's so much work, and I can't generate any personal income while I'm doing it, and begging for dollars for a film project while my family is so destitute is just not fun.
But something funny happened on the way to the forums: his campaign became fun. First, we released our new poster, and it's a doozy:
Next, Chris Cosgrave (ouir visual effects artist/graphic designer) and myself created this pitch video, which includes footage from the movie - the first footage shown.
Then we raised $500 on our first day, which is awesome. And now we've started posting character portraits.
After 10 months of nonstop work, we're finally able to show some of what we've been doing, and that's exciting. Soon we'll release our trailer, and people will finally get a sense of the tone we've created for this film. And then we start actually submitting the film to these festivals. We're on our way, baby!
Please check out our campaign, we'd like to keep the momentum going: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/killer-rack-ultimate-indiegogo/x/78828
We've got some fantastic perks this time around, and you'll really be helping us out.
