Hi guys

First time posting here, seems like a really great resource!.

We're creating a short film called ROAR, it's a 10 minute supernatural drama.

Our Kickstarter launched two days ago, We've hit 1/3rd of our target in the first couple of days so a good start, still a long way to go though. I'd love it if you could check it out:

Thanks!

That's really good progress . How did you manage to line up 1/3 in the first few days?

Out of curiosity, why did you choose Kickstarter over Fundrazr?

I usually point new users to this promo (If you contribute to my Kickstarter and tweet your contribution, I will contribute to your Kickstarter. I WILL MATCH THE FIRST $50 IN BACKERS.) i-have-50-to-back-kickstarter-projects-t1620.html

Thanks!, we're pleased with the progress, still a long way to go though!

We've been pretty reliant on our networks at this stage. Reaching out to friends, family and colleagues has been a huge part of our focus, and we've had a really great response so far. The key for us now is to start getting some traction on sites and blogs that have some relation to our film, hopefully opening up our campaign to a wider audience.

We chose Kickstarter because it has a strong reputation with film projects now, you only need to look at the 'film & video' category which has over 32,000 campaigns, or this years Sundance listings, to see how widely used it's becoming within the community.

Thanks for the links.

Yeh, we hit 55% of our target in our first week which we're really happy with. Hoping we can continue some momentum into our second week.
