Well, we all know about Kickstarters that never get finished, but this little film has external requirements that mean it has to be finished--and the amount of money still needed is tiny.
From David Jaques-Watson:
Dear Folks -
I'm putting this out as a request for help and support.
My daughter Emma is writing and directing her first short film, and has been raising money through family & friends, and also a crowd-funding site. There's not long to go now, and she's after more help.
Although this is not specifically for Traveller, it's an SF story about a scientist who built a female robot, and fashioned her as his "daughter". It's also about the daughter, who knows _what_ she is – and then discovers her "father's" lost love whom she is modelled after – and is now trying to discover _who_ she is. And why.
For those of us who have been burnt by sponsoring other past productions that are still incomplete, I can understand your reluctance to contribute. In the case of this film, please consider the following:
a. It is a student grad film. It HAS to be made, or else the students do not graduate – so no excuses!! ;-)
b. The budget is only a modest AUD$2000 (about USD$1500 at current rates);
c. So no, it won't have huge special effects (which, as we've seen, can hinder delivery), only modest ones;
d. …which means its goals are achievable. ;-)
So thank you for your attention, and please consider.
