Week 5: Return of the River

3/3/2012

0 Comments

 
Today I pledged $5 to support the Kickstarter campaign of a new documentary film titled Return of the River, about the undamming (or is it undamning?) of the Elwha River in Washington State. According to the write-up, "In a world of grim news about the environment, the return of the Elwha River is a rare success story. It is a story with global ramifications, exploring the complex relationship between people and the land they call home."

WHY FIVE DOLLARS?
One of the most interesting things that happened during a recent Kickstarter fundraising campaign for my own film, SOURLANDS, is that someone pledged $1. I remember opening up my email and thinking “Why did someone just give me a dollar?”

I Googled around and soon discovered that the $1 came from a man who is giving $1 every single day of 2012 to a different Kickstarter project and, just as importantly, helping promote each of these projects on his website.

This has inspired me to do the same. Once a week for at least the next year, I’m going to pledge at least $5 to a documentary film project on Kickstarter that looks interesting. I’ll also help promote each of these projects on the Sourlands blog (http://www.sourlands.com/blog.html) and the Sourlands Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/Sourlands). I hope you'll steal this idea, just as I did!
