Looking for Advice on Kickstarter Project!

Hi my name is Tristan Erwin! And I am wondering if anyone would care to take a look at my page and give some tips on things I can improve upon. The most popular rewards so far have been the Associate Producer Credit for 40 Dollars, and the Adventure Pack (planning backer an outdoor vacation) for 100 Dollars. I feel like the rewards are pretty good but I would love feedback on those as well. One of the things I seem to be having trouble with is that I am running this Kickstarter all on my own without a partner, so while I have been fortunate enough to raise 1,000 dollars so far, I still have to raise 2,500 dollars in the next 10 days in order to reach my goal. I've also noticed that I am getting lots of small donations, and not large ones any advice on getting larger pledges would also be tremendously helpful! I know it is possible but I need any and all help available in the form of tips and hints in order to make this project successful. Thank you for your time and I hope you'll take a look at my project and give me feedback. My email is tristan_erwin@yahoo.com and the link to my kickstarter is https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1703042921/eden-2

Hi Tristan! Eden looks like an interesting short film, and probably one that a lot of people will be able to relate to. Your Kickstarter page looks pretty good to me. The only issues I saw were that the way the rewards were set up seemed a little complicated compared to most that I've seen (although the rewards themselves were great), and I thought that even a little bit of the visual part of the video should come at the beginning (with the tree, and the voiceover explaining the story) because I think it conveys the feeling you're trying to get across better. It's good that you are in the video but you talk for a while and I was wondering if you would show anything more in it.

Also, here's a list of some environmental blogs that you might be able to reach out to if you're looking to market your project to a larger audience:

Hopefully this is helpful, good luck with the rest of your project!
