Reign of Judges: Title of Liberty is a fan-driven beginning… to the epic New World saga of love, war, revolution, and freedom.
Thank you everyone for helping this happen. Over $17,000 in 32 hours!
UPDATE 8-22-17
We had a great opening with 121 backers and $18K in pledges our first two days . This put us at number 2 Hottest Kickstarters under film/video, which we held until today. We’re now number 8.
Combined activity from facebook/kickstarter:
- Over 1700 combined shares
- Over 200K combined views
- 309 total backers
- Average daily backers 32
- Average pledge amount is $92 (down from $117)
- We are averaging about $3,300 pledges daily
- Our highest pledges so far are 2 for $5,000 each
- $32K total pledges so far
Our second $5,000 came in just this evening. Thank you all for your support on this monumental endeavor. Please remember we are available to answer any questions for people who are considering pledging.
Current Backers: 373 (up 73!)
Current Pledge Total: $45,636 30% funded (we have a $6K backer committed for tomorrow!)
Average Pledge amount: $123 (up from $102)
We are asking all of our faithful supporters to talk to at least 10 people, text, call, facebook message, or whatever is best. Since you have already pledged, you have a very persuasive case for your friends to join you. The fact that we are over $45K with nothing but word of mouth is AMAZING! We still have practically no news coverage. Go figure-- First Book of Mormon war epic ever made, first Major Motion Picture on Kickstarter, trending at number 2-- yeah, nothing to see here. The media will have to cover us when we hit goal because we will be the highest funded short film of all time on Kickstarter. We can do this if we stick together and sleep on our swords for the next 21 days. If you have any media contacts, please share them. This will supplement our efforts as we continue to reach out and push for media coverage.
Thank you all. I will never forget your tremendous support! We can do it. We will hit goal. We will make history and demand the world acknowledge there's a market (lively and zealous) for a Book of Mormon war epic.
Until soon!
Earnestly,
Darin Southam
UPDATE 8-30-17
We had another $1,000 backer pledge since I posted our video update today. We should be over $70K before the end of the day, but we still need some big hitters to come on board so we hit our goal of $150K.
Total Raised: $69,390
Total Pledges: 568
Top Pledges:
4 @ $5K
1 @ $3K
2 @ $2.5K
6 @ $1K
5 @ $500
32 @ $300
Please, if you haven't already, reach out personally (text, call, email, facebook message, etc.) your friends and tell them why you felt inspired to pledge to our campaign. I know you believe this film can inspire a worldwide Spirit of Freedom. I don't believe. I KNOW it can. I'm unsure exactly how, but I know, somehow we are going to hit goal. My faith is unshaken. Many will yet come forth and pledge their support.
MEDIA COMING THIS WEEK:
KSL Article should hit tomorrow or Friday.
Meridian Magazine tomorrow or Friday.
LDS Living (possibly) tomorrow or Friday.
More to come...
If any of you would like to set up an introduction, I am happy to speak with any of your friends personally over the phone about the project. We need to step up the level and find some $8K, $10K, $15K and $19K pledges. We just lowered the price on Moroni's Armor to $19K. Really we should charge $25K for what it is costing, but we know that's a lot. It is a 100% authentic replica of Moroni's Armor made by FBFX Studio. Thank you so very much for your support. It inspires me! Please watch this one minute video. I hope it inspires you. 14 DAYS LEFT!
Sincerely,
Darin
