New Years Total. $3675! Big thanks to Fi Bohane for remembering me from the drier climates of Nevada and to Susanne Sabata, whom I dont believe Ive ever met! RESOLUTION: Considering the fact that Ive been trying to get to $15,000 and this all must end on midnight January 14th I have come to a conclusion. These campaigns are an all or nothing. Which means as I get close to $4,000 I must admit that, unless I get either a )A large spurt of tax deductible contributions or b) suddenly lots of people come forward in a scenario reminiscent of Its A Wonderful Life, I dont have much of a chance to get to that goal. And that means I cannot keep the money I have raised and therefore it gets given to other, no doubt interesting, art projects. Does anyone want that to happen? I didnt think so. So I have decided to lower my minimum goal way down to $5,000. What does this mean? Well it is quite frankly impossible to get back to Europe to continue my interviews for the film. That would require a minimum of $10,000. Sadly that also looks a bit dodgy unless... But part of my goal was always to raise enough to edit the film together. And the good news is that the $5,000 dollar goal will allow me to edit the material I have already (about 20 hours) into a more polished and professional shape, which then might help me raise more interest. (Ive been doing all my editing on an iMovie program, which is cool but not very impressive to folks to hand out the $$$.) So that and a new lens or two and time to edit would be fine... for now. The good news... Is I immediately go from nearly 25% of my minimum goal to nearly 75%!!! Thats $3,675/$5,000. We can do that! AND... if an angel swoops down or I get a bit more viral by January 14th... then I can indeed get back to Europe! What say you? Meanwhile check this last video out... This is from Helen Alten of the Sheldon Museum in Haines. youtu.be/gScaeP2__VI And go here to give until it doesnt hurt! hatchfund.org/project/gravity_from_above_the_second_investigation
