Kickstarter Has Changed Indie Moviemaking for Good
January 22nd - via: wired.com
While Hollywood insiders talk about which big-budget studio movies made and lost the most money in 2013, there’s a far more interesting number to consider: 3,000,000. That’s how many people backed crowdfunding projects for a total of $481,788,567 last year — and that’s on Kickstarter alone. (Read More)
Don't Stop, Please 
December 4th - via: kickstarter.com
A lot of people are DECREASING their pledges now that I've reached the goal. That puts me in a dangerous place. There are still six hours to go. If you can increase your pledge just 20 or 30 dollars, that would help counteract this. I can still fail... (Read More)
Complete! (New tune: For Absent Friends)
December 3rd - via: kickstarter.com
Dear Friends and Backers, Well, we did it. I'm deeply grateful. Here's a tune that is a different arrangement of the key Ned Rifle theme, His Aims, which I posted a while ago. Slower more elegiac. It's a little rough, a little beyond the means of me... (Read More)

ADVENTURE

You people are blowing my mind. I would not have kept going with this if so many of you hadn't read me the riot act last week. So, thanks. And here we are. Land is in sight! But we still have to reach it. 23 more hours to go. We've come this far.... (Read More)
ABOUT PRODUCERS:
December 2nd - via: kickstarter.com
I really don't care how other people think about it anymore: a person who puts down cash against their taste and sensibility and their belief in an artist's output is a producer. Sergei Diaghilev could not dance. He could not choreograph a dance. But... (Read More)

December 2nd - via: kickstarter.com
Susan still has Ned's ATM card and expresses herself joyfully by shopping extravagantly at the 24-Hour-Everything Store. Henry, meanwhile, begins to suspect who this young woman might actually be... Yeah. It's that big. And it gets scary and... (Read More)
