" Vegan Comedy Fundraiser" has closed announced 2 months ago

OBJECTIVE
Completion funds for a short film that will be shown at various film and vegan festivals world-wide
TERMS

If we reach at least $2,800 by September 16, 2008, then we will give money to: London Film School

THE PITCH

I am currently in pre-production for my graduation film with the London Film School. The intent of the film will be to promote a vegan lifestyle. However, it is unique in the sense that it will not be a documentary, it is a fictional romantic comedy. This means that the subject of veganism serves as a sub-text to the journey of the main character. I feel this approach has the potential for reaching a much wider range of people than the typical educational documentary.

I have a budget for the film of £3250 but I will need another £1700 to complete the film. I will be starting principle photography on Ocotber 4th so I will be starting a 30 day public fundraiser for the remaining monies needed. Any donations will be fully tax deductable as the school is a registered charity.

I have just started a personal blog which you can view to learn more about my goals and intentions with this film and my future filmmaking projects.

I just want to let everyone know that I have updated my personal donation from $200 to $340. This is due to the fact that I have received 3 donations $100, $20, and $20 that were paid to my Paypal account directly from visitors of the website. The community organizers will subtract this $140 from the final amount sent to me by thepoint, if the campaign is tipped.

I just visited your blog and saw a description there. Including it here would be good.

It appears you have this campaign set up twice:

    I did have a previous campaign and I have been trying to delete but cannot figure out how. I have emailed the administator to see if they can remove the previous listing. I changed it because I felt people would be more inclined to donate if the money was being submitted to the school and not me personally. Plus, the donation would be tax deductable as the school is a registered charity.

    Ah. It can take a few days to get a response sometimes.
