MFA in Cinematography - Kickstarter

I made a Kickstarter for my thesis because I honestly have no idea how I’m going to afford to finish. My thesis involves shooting 5 films in various mediums, some of which I’ve talked about on this blog. Each film I’ve shot so far has been averaging anywhere between $7,000-$12,000. I’ve been managing this so far by not sleeping (at all), doing an ungodly amount of freelancing, and support from my parents. I’m working on my last two films, and they are the two most expensive ones in the series (one is on 35mm).

So here’s the dealio, if you can afford to donate, I would be eternally grateful. Any amount helps, even if it’s just $1. The more you donate, the more perks (original pieces of the workprint, progress videos, a visit from me, etc.) you receive. I have until May 22, 2010 to raise $5,000. If I don’t reach that goal by then, I don’t get anything.

Thanks a lot! Donate (if you can), or spread the word, so maybe some generous passers by can donate to a creative cause.
