🎉 That's a WRAP on our crowdfunding campaign! 🎉

Thanks to more than 100 donors and 200 followers, DOORS post-production is over **125%** funded! THANK YOU!

But you can still be part of our adventure! We still need followers on our page. Why? Two reasons:

1. If we reach 250+ followers in the same quarter as our green light, we unlock bonus rewards that help stretch our donors' generous pledges even further!
and
2. The more followers, the bigger the audience for our film's premiere! And *you* can say you were there at the start. Be cool before it's cool! 😎

SO!
📌 If you pledged, did you follow?
It isn't automatic. Click the "heart" on our Seed&Spark page to be counted as a follower!

📌 If you followed, did you share?
Every personal recommendation brings potentially *dozens* of new audience members who may really like our film -- and our future films!

FRIENDS AND FOLLOWERS:
Now, on the LAST DAY of our campaign... when we are OVER 100% funded (!!) ...

Why would we bother you with more posts?? Two reasons:

If you "follow" our page on Seed&Spark (click the little heart), we could unlock additional funding that will stretch our donors' pledges even further! We need **250 followers** to do so, and we're 3/4 there!

AND -- if you could SHARE our page with your friends -- the potential audience for our film expands exponentially!

With all the time and effort we put into the film, and then the campaign (almost as much work as pre-production!) -- we can't tell you just how grateful we are for your eyes and your time.

Over 100 of you have donated your hard-earned money, and nearly 200 of you have taken the time to "like" and "follow" our page -- THANK YOU!!

Let's bring this thing HOME already! Go team!

There's still time!

Our Seed&Spark campaign ends in the wee hours of Nov 30-Dec 1. And while we're over 100% funded (!), there's still time to pledge for an AMA Zoom with DOORS producer Gillian Fritzsche (not pictured, but definitely exists) and writer-director Gina DeAngelis.

Join the cool kids and FOLLOW and SHARE our campaign page!

Only 3 more days to join the campaign to finish the short film DOORS! We are fully funded (and then some!), but need 250 followers on our Seed & Spark page to unlock additional funding that makes YOUR donations go further. It's free to "follow" and share!

Even his wife, Beryl, can't pry Franklin's attention from the crossword. But donors of at least $25 can enjoy a digital, shareable message of emotional support like this one, from our curmudgeonly protagonist.

Look for DOORS SHORT FILM on Seed&Spark for more info!

Remember, if you haven't clicked FOLLOW on our Seed&Spark page, we may not reach a level of additional funding. Please spread the word!

Here's another sneak peek from DOORS: raw camera footage, no color-grading and no audio -- and yet, like a painting that moves. 🥰

Happy Thanksgiving to our American followers! We are thankful for your support. 🦃

💥 UPDATE: WE HAVE A GREEN LIGHT!! 💥
Seed&Spark requires 80% funding before they release *any* pledge money -- so now we're almost there!

THANK YOU to our fans and followers!

We have two weeks left -- now the job is a little easier -- can you help us get all the way there? Can you spread the word so we get 138 more followers on Seed&Spark, which will trigger festival fee waivers for our film to reach more viewers? Can you help us make sure our post-production professionals get paid for their work?

ORIGINAL MESSAGE:
DOORS fans: Today we are halfway through our Seed&Spark campaign. That means **only a few days left*** until we reach our funding goal to finish this film -- or we fail. It's unthinkable, but possible.

These screenshots show raw camera footage of our two (human) characters, Beryl (Abigail Schumann) and Franklin (Edward Whitacre). We were mesmerized by their professional artistry on set, and can't wait to share it with the world!

The funding will pay for:
• Editing and color correction
• Sound design, mixing, and editing
• Visual effects (minimal but crucial)
• Graphic design and marketing materials
• Festival and distribution expenses

Please visit DOORS SHORT FILM on Seed&Spark's web page to learn more, see more, and pledge your support. If donating is not an option, clicking "follow" and sharing the site with others is free and helps a great deal! *Especially* if you add a note of personal recommendation.

With gratitude to all our supporters -- thank you all so much for your time and generosity!
