Hey everybody, I've been doing film for the last five years; though I started as an actor, I started editing and writing and doing pretty much everything else. At this point, I'm about to direct a large-scale project for the first time. The script is a fairly original comedy that I've worked on quite a bit, and we have an incredible cast and crew attached--I can't stress how surprised I've been by how well everything's gone, outside of the funding. Our crowdfunding campaign isn't going terribly well, and while I'm developing backup plans I would love it if you guys could take a look at it. Any help is vastly appreciated, even if it's just advice. Here's the link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2105181880/uncle-gareth Thank you for your time, Chris

Hey Chris, I'm a filmmaker in NYC also. Congrats for getting this far. I think you should just make a short no-budget version of the film OR at least make one or two scenes - THAT will sell it a lot better than actors describing the script or talking about how great the film will be, in my humble opinion. The concept is quite low-concept but it seems that the appeal of this is the eccentric main character Uncle Gareth, so my suggestion would be to shoot whatever you can that features Uncle Gareth in whatever comedic situations he finds himself in - EVEN IF they're not part of your main script. You need to make a commercial for the Uncle Gareth character. if people want more Uncle Gareth, they gotta give you the $15k to make the movie. My 2 cents. Good luck bro
