I'm Jase - the head of a team of scuba divers, sailors and film makers who are making a series of conservation adventure films in South East Asia, called Voyage of the Labyrinth
We are funding this mission with our Kickstarter. We have 11 days to go and still $7454 to raise. I am hoping that we will go the way many documentary and film projects go and bring it all in in the last few days. Earlier would be nice (and let me sleep again!) but I'm realistic.
One thing that Kickstarter has been great for is helping us build our network in the region. The Kickstarter gets everyone excited and has helped us open a lot of doors. I wrote about the NGOs we work with here:

But the short version is that Kickstarter has benefited our project beyond just helping us fund the mission - and by building our network, we can ensure that important stories are told and that we can continue to make beautiful films about urgent issues.
