First off, let me say how completely jazzed I am about all the support “Metamorphosis” has received. Read more about the movie here.
For the last 30 days now, the producers/crew of Metamorphosis has been running a fund raising campaign through IndieGoGo.com. The goal was $30,000.
Admittedly, when I first saw that number I laughed. I simply thought it too high of a number and that it couldn’t be done. After 2 weeks, the movie had $8000 in donations, which I was surprised at.
Then last week, the producer Jeff Laub (and one of my closest friends) asked me to help out with the fundraising. I instantly was very interested in seeing that $30,000 goal become a reality.
I plugged Metamorphosis and it’s fundraising page for a week on Twitter, Facebook, and I even made a LinkedIn post.
Obviously it wasn’t just me that was helping with the fundraising, but I was absolutely thrilled to watch our donation total go up and up.
We even got 2 write ups in Variety! (Read them here and here)
Everything was coming together in the most exciting way, and last night the fundraising came to an end. (Trust me, you can still donate if you want to).
Our final tally was $25,290. Not too shabby!
Thanks so much to the coworkers, parents, friends, roommates, acquaintances and strangers that helped with this project.
