Victor, how did your pilot turn out? Did you end up asking for more money? On our end, post-production wrapped on Big Kids and I just released the full pilot on Vimeo. Have a look if you like (and let me know what you think): https://vimeo.com/155005987

Yeah, $20K was a pretty decent budget but I'm told scant by professional standards. Still, we made it work and shot our pilot last September. We are still editing but the near-finished product is gorgeous and really looks near production quality. I'll post a link once the editing is wrapped. Good lu...

Funding for our show, Big Kids, ends in just 5 days!

This might sound negative, but I learned who my friends are. There were a lot of people I had always just assumed would toss a few dollars our way but what struck me was how certain people from my past have been super supportive, super enthusiastic, and super generous while others (people I would ha...

We still have a long way to climb, but all of us running campaigns knows every little bit helps and large gestures make those large, scary goal numbers seem so much more achievable.

It drove a huge amount of support and he kept his word, which was awesome and helped us surge to the...

Hi everyone, I'm Evan from Boston and though I've been a Kickstarter backer and frequent browser since last summer, I only just recently launched my own Kickstarter campaign for a TV project my writing partner and I call "Big Kids." Here's the project: m The gist: it's a sitcom in the spir...

@sbriggman - Oh man, Concord is gorgeous. I, myself, lived away from MA for a long time but was just drawn back. There's nothing quite like New England. As for the community, I get the impression a lot of that community support simply comes from visibility algorithms. The likelier one's project is t...

...the more data they have, the more accurate the predictions can be. I think as a few more days go by and they can see how you are being backed, will either confirm there prediction or they will revise it. Good point. It always comes down to data variations! For the rest of you, have any of you us...

Let's talk KickSpy, this site I just found that claims to be able to predict the end result of your project using some complex algorithms. Have any of you tracked your projects using this tool and, if so, was it reliable? They've got project examples on the site, but I'd love to know what people's a...
