As news anchors say after the day of an election….results are still trickling in. But at this moment, I can confidently report that our “$25k in 25 days” campaign was a resounding success.
Between Buy-A-Frame, merchandise sales, and fundraising events, we were able to raise $24,100.
What does this mean?
I can now continue filming Joe Faris’ extraordinary story. I can pay a Detroit-based crew without asking for too many volunteers. And I don’t have to blow up my credit rating to do it.
But this is just one of a long line of future successes. So keep spreading the word on Twitter. Keep encouraging people to become a producer on Facebook.
Then if they ask why, show them this video from the producers themselves.
We’re doing it!
Peace,

This is exceptional news, Erik. Congratulations for pushing the idea and making it happen. Good luck with the shoot!
