@ rockerrockstar Thanks I also prefer the numbers versus spelling them out. It's really a countdown, so spelling it out wouldn't be as impactful (imo). The down ending I was referring to is in films like Se7en or Saw, when it's not necessary to have everyone die, but it definitely ends on a down note.
@Gonzo_Entertainment I am a bit nutty lol, but not completely detached from reality. I did my homework, and I have more than a few tricks up my sleeve yet to get the funding we need. I'm not a moron, I realize the odds of actually getting the $300k via crowdfunding are slim, but I don't need $300k to get my financing. Just $30-50k, which I will get. Aside from what you see on the indiegogo site, we're also holding a fundraiser in the town where I live, and people here are not only very generous, but love that we have pledged to give 25% of our net profits from the film to the schools. Once that happens on the 22nd, I will be lowering the goal on the indiegogo page appropriately to reflect what we've raised. I also have been contacted by 3 different investors since launching the campaign, which in the indie film business is great! Plus the campaign isn't even halfway done yet. I am ever the optimist, and there have been TONS of indie films with budgets far bigger than mine that have gotten their funding
@finderskeepers Thanks!
