The following was posted via Kickstarter Update on our campaign page.

We are blown away by the support Year One has received in the short day and a half since we launched our project! As I type this, we are 10% funded and that is UNBELIEVABLE!

We have had high hopes for this project since we first came up with the idea, but putting it on Kickstarter and into someone else’s hands is nerve-wracking! At this point we have exhausted most of our resources in regards to funding Year One, and the only way we can make this awesome film is to hit our Kickstarter goal. In a way it is a relief; we have worked as hard as possible to get to this point and now, in a sense, we can take a small break and see if this is something that others believe in as much as we do. Judging by the support we have received so far, it looks like you we aren’t the only ones excited for Year One!

What blows our mind even more is the amount of support coming from our hometown of Petersburg, Alaska! Our friends and family in Petersburg have given us so much support – not just with Year One, but all of our past film projects – and continue to do so on a daily basis. Kickstarter is a new thing for a lot of people on our tiny island, and we didn’t know if anyone would be into it as much as we are. Well, we have happily been proven wrong!

But, no matter where our backers hail from, we are incredibly grateful for the support so early on in our campaign! If we keep this up, we hope to be bumped higher up on the “Popular” page and maybe even get some recognition on the “Staff Picks” page.

We are big time Kickstarters, but this is our first shot on the creator side. A ton of prep work went into this campaign, but within the first couple hours we were juggling emails and making corrections/additions to our campaign. We have added tiers to accommodate our friends over in Canada and the UK, and are looking into shipping quotes for some other places that potential backers have requested. So exciting!

If you have any questions, please feel free to send us a message! We will do our best not to spam you with updates every day, but we really wanted to thank you all for being so good to us! We are confident that others will jump on the bandwagon and push us past our funding goal so that we can get this movie made!
