Thank you all for your support. It's been a roller-coaster ride. I couldn't sleep for most of the first 20 days, thinking that there was so much more that I could do. But the last few days have been the most difficult, trying to decide how to pivot.... (Read More)
Two days to go...
August 17th - via: kickstarter.com
At 3:00 this afternoon here in Japan, there will be 48 hours left in this fundraising campaign. Some of you might have been wondering over the past few days if we’d given up. Far from it. If you've seen the old Eddie Murphy/Nick Nolte film, you... (Read More)
5 Days left
August 15th - via: kickstarter.com
With 5 days left in the campaign, no doubt, a certain amount of trepidation is starting to fall. But as I've written before, I am as determined as at the start of the campaign to make this film, one way or another. I've written much of what I am... (Read More)
A week with William Clark
August 11th - via: kickstarter.com
I’m keeping my promise to do everything I can to make this crowdfunding campaign successful. But most importantly, I plan to make the film successful even if the campaign doesn’t fulfill it’s stated fundraising goal. A great film does require... (Read More)
Relentless
August 9th - via: kickstarter.com
Today’s update is simple. Around April 6 or 7, after I left the ICU and had the catheter removed from my penis to extract urine, I was weighed and my height recorded. I was 83.7 kilograms. Last night, at the neighborhood public bath, I weighed 71.8... (Read More)
Enraged and Engaged
August 9th - via: kickstarter.com
I wrote this on Facebook just a few minutes ago. It’s not really to you all, who have already pledged your warm support for Kokoro no Kintsugi. We appreciate your support as we keep on fighting in the last third of the 30 days. But I think it’s... (Read More)
A whirlwind of activity
August 6th - via: kickstarter.com
I was forewarned that crowdfunding is a roller coaster of activity. I had anticipated it, but its much more than what I thought. I never expected to be focused "solely" on pitching for funding, but the things that happen each day and week that are... (Read More)
I never expected it to be easy
August 4th - via: kickstarter.com
I’ve been cooking all day for an event tomorrow night. It’s on sustainable food and agriculture, part of a summer school for a research institute based in Italy. I’m doing this, in the middle of this crowdfunding campaign, because the reasons... (Read More)
Campaign Page Edited!
July 31st - via: kickstarter.com
I've started editing the Kickstarter to reflect the fact that the project is for making a film. I hope you like the changes! In the next couple of days, we're editing the promo video, to include some incredible views of what we've seen in Japan that... (Read More)
A few secrets that should be told
July 30th - via: kickstarter.com
If you can, please tell a friend. I don't believe in miracles. Or, maybe miracles happen all the time. This morning, I received a message from the RSA. Someone had noticed my comment to a post by another RSA Fellow, about an event we did last month,... (Read More)
A wonderful cry
July 28th - via: kickstarter.com
I’ve had a couple of weeping conversations these past few days - with people I’ve reconnected with since the heart attack and, in part, because of this project. I wasn’t avoiding talking to people about it, but it just isn’t possible to speak... (Read More)
Why every $5 matters
July 27th - via: kickstarter.com
In a crowdfunding campaign, every pledge matters. Of course. But for me, the $5 is to have each person named in the credits. This isn’t just to show you that we thank you for making it possible. It’s because each name represents someone, a... (Read More)
Responding honestly to criticism
July 26th - via: kickstarter.com
So what? I think it's too early to plateau, but like many people who use crowdfunding, I'm feeling some anxiety. I've had a lot of people offer their criticism, which I'm extremely grateful for. I'm trying to respond to their comments, honestly. And... (Read More)
Progress isn’t just financial
July 25th - via: kickstarter.com
I had an awesome day yesterday. I wrote about it on today’s blog post, too. But it’s so important, I think, that I’ll talk about it here, too. I was at a party last night. It was the launch party to celebrate the opening of the depot for our... (Read More)
Incredible Partners and Supporters
July 23rd - via: kickstarter.com
Thank you so much for your support. We've come very far in the two days since our project was launched. I've been a part of many investor and client pitches, the harrowing final days between the initial pitch, providing second round feedback, and... (Read More)
An incredible conversation!
July 22nd - via: kickstarter.com
Thanks for all your reposts! I've had a great time communicating with friends all around Japan and the world, who have been reposting messages about our campaign. I can't name all of them here, but I want to write briefly about a conversation... (Read More)
