British ShortFilm Thriller - 53% Backed & Slowing - Advice?

Hi everyone,

I wanted to let you know we have just finished filming a 20 mins British Short Film Horror/Thriller in London called "Todd Sloane" and you can check it out here:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/10 ... short-film

Are there any film-specific campaign strategy ideas that you may know about?

The film is about a young man who works in a butcher's shop - he never speaks and people think him a bit odd. He doesn't understand the social world he lives in. But he wants to, so he watches. He works diligently and meticulously, interrupted only by text messages from someone named Jack. A woman with dark hair and blue eyes has gone missing. At first this is just a news story on the radio, but he comes to realise she has the answers he's looking for. And she might know just who Jack really is.

We have now reached the important Post Production phase and require funding to help us achieve the best Sound Mix, Colour Treatment, Film Festival Submissions and Marketing Campaign that we can possibly receive. We hope to submit and with Kickstarter Forum member's help achieve nominations and wins in as many global short film categories as possible. We have some great Rewards on offer - including amazing an original soundtrack and artwork by British graffiti/fine artist, Word To Mother.

Once again, any help you & the community can provide would be greatly appreciated. I know you are all busy people, so thank you in advance for checking out the film and please let me know if there’s any questions you have. Also curious to hear any feedback as well!

Just a quick update - we are now at 82% with 8 days to go!! Nail biting time.... We found that getting the right Twitter users to post made a big difference as well as getting our video added to some influential Youtube Movie Trailer channels really helped awareness and ultimately drove traffic towards the KS Campaign page.

FINAL UPDATE: We made the 100% target with 72 hours to spare. This brings to a close one of the most intense and emotionally charged 30 days of my life! So so pleased that it is all over now.
