    I work in Corporate Staffing/HR. It's a fun and rewarding job that helps people find what they are looking for.

    My passion project: Well, I have more than one. I'm an active backyard gardener in the suburbs. It's a nice stress release from a busy work life, plus it's a great skill to have, as well as a good learning experience for my children.
    I'm also passionate about my game development project currently on KS.
    It's a unique party game that gets people talking and allows you to get to know others in the group.
    Party games are notoriously harder to get followers than boardgames, but we're pushing through.

    Hi everyone!
    I'm an awarded filmmaker/producer by day, and my passion is everything fantasy/horror related.
    That's why I started a publishing company together with a like-minded fellow in Scotland.
    Here are the trailers of some of my films. Cheers!

    EDIT: don't know why the links don't work, here's an url link to just one of them:

    Great questions! My day job was actually my night job officiating professional hockey. After years of hearing the abuse or what I would call just good old fashion verbal diarrhea I created my own passion job, chocolate! After being told by a prominent chef that I could never make my own chocolate the challenge was on. As a chocolatier it was fun and being creative was always my passion. I wanted to take it one step further and make my own chocolate from the actual cacao bean. To make a long story short, I have made my own chocolate for the past 5 years and never looked back. Bottom line is whether it is excelling at a sport, your studies, or some other seemingly unattainable goal (to others), never doubt yourself. Just do it and go for it! For those that want to read all about our story and the extreme adversity we are going through now, I invite you into our family.https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1191343043/a-tiny-chocolate-company-your-karma-will-thank-you
    Cheers!

    I am a golf professional. I got into the golf business because it offered me the opportunity to spend a lot of my time in the outdoors. I have been working at an amazing country club in the Smoky Mountains. I love the game of golf but do not love what I do currently. The outdoors is truly my passion.

    It has been a tough year for my wife and I. In April we lost our baby boy. At times it felt like our entire lives had been taken away from us. We have resolved to not let this tragedy define our lives or even this year. The only way is forward for us!

    Our passion project is an outdoor apparel company. I have spent as much time in nature as a park ranger and I still can't get enough! My wife has a natural talent for creating things and this led us to the idea of running our own business. We started Artisan Outdoor Apparel to create garments that were stylish but also highly functional and personalized.

    I am the outdoors and research expert and my wife is the design and production guru. We wanted to meet a need that the current outdoor apparel market has not addressed. Individuality. We offer our customers the ability to customize their garments. We offer a wide variety of colors, options and sizes so that every customer gets the perfect garment. We will also be offering custom embroidery to truly personalize any garment.

    We just launched our campaign and would appreciate every bit of support.

    What is your day job?

    I've been in the animation industry for over 8 years. In that time I was a part of many game and web projects in 2D and 3D. Some games are Red Dead Redemption, GTA IV, Ducktales Remastered, Amazing Spiderman, Centipede Infestation to name a few. In 2010 I founded Take10 Animation, an indie studio to create 2D and 3D animation services to companies around the world.

    What is your passion project?

    For many years I've been helping other studios complete their projects but never was able to find the time or the resource to create a project of my own. Until now. For the past several months I've been working non-stop to putting together a demo for a 2D platformer. As a result I've decided to create a Kickstarter campaign as well. Although it's still in pre-launch phase I can show a little bit of what the game looks like so far. You can check out a few screenshots in link below.

    Hi guys,

    I'm an entrepreneur. I have a startup that designs and markets beautiful, natural, sustainable and ultra light bamboo trekking poles. We are going live on Kickstarter in a 3 days. So, that's my passion project :-)

    My name is Stacey Jay Kelly and I have recently designed a deck of Illustrated Fresh Water Fishing Playing cards.

    They are currently featured on Kickstarter.

    https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/12 ... ying-cards

    I was hoping you would be interested in sharing this project or directly interested in pledges to receive a personal deck or bulk pack of decks.
    best wishes and thank you so much

    Stacey

    I'm currently a student, and have loved my experiences. Ultimately, however, I want to move to Vienna for a few years and then work for the LA Philharmonic after that!
