Though they have dug deep into their couch cushions, piggy banks and even under the seats in their car searching for loose change, the makers still have a long way to go. They encourage everyone that believes in their film to connect with them and share the campaign with their friends and family. The more exposure they get, the greater their chances are of successfully funding and making this an award winning film for everyone to enjoy.
The goal of this campaign is not just the financial backing required to complete the film, but also to hopefully have this project be developed into a feature length film. Brandon M. Freer hopes all backers will be excited to come along with the makers in their journey to the film festivals.
The funding goal of this campaign has been fixed at $18,000.
