Kickstarter Rocks.

We Launched Our Kickstarter.com Page!

Never heard of Kickstarter?

Kickstarter.com is an awesome website that helps fund ideas and new projects for artists, film-makers, musicians, writers, inventors ...and organizations like Big Blue Marble.

It is a unique way to fund because it's an all or nothing funding platform. As the project designer you set the amount you want to raise and your own time frame (up to 90 days). Post a video, give a description and if by the end of your time frame you have reached your goal, the money get's directly deposited into a bank account you set up. If you don't reach your goal, backers of the project never get charged and sadness, you don't get the funding. It's a neat way to set things up because it ensures that people won't try and do a project that they are not fully prepared or funded for. Basically no half-assing. I like it.

Oh, and people get rewards (I like to think of them as prizes) for donating! We have some cool ones like getting sent behind the scenes videos from our trip and special interviews, getting a postcard from one of our awesome locations, tote bags (who does not love a tote bag?) getting to be a producer for the documentary with your name in the credits and having us come to where ever you are in the great U. S. of A. so that we can interview you for the film, and a bunch more.

Our goal is $5,000 and we have 89 days to do it. So while your snowed in, drinking hot chocolate, take a minute and check out our page. I'm confident that together we can do it. :)

love&peace,

Vanessa
