Kickstarter Funding: "The Terrible Old Man" Short: Please help (1 Viewer)

[=Smackdown=]

[SIZE=10pt]A friend needs help funding his short film of "The Terrible Old Man". As of this post, he is over $3200 away from his goal and has six days left. If you like Lovercraft or just feel like helping, please do so. I figured the masses here at Footballguys would be able to help out a friend in need to help pay for post-production and for the actors involved.[/SIZE]

Only 62 hours to go and he needs another $2800.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

When you give money to things on kickstarter, are you considered an investor and are entitled to equity and potential profits? Or is it pretty much just a donation that's not tax deductible?

It is not a donation - you receive the "awards" for whatever level you pledge (e.g. at $15 you get a digital copy of the film). The important thing with KickStarter is that the money only goes through if the project is fully funded.
