What is your timeline on completing your project?

We plan to wrap filming by Summer 2014 (Pittsburgh winters last quite a while) and have a finished project by Fall or Winter 2014. This is a broad timeframe, but we plan to have it done sooner. However, we are planning to enter it into the Sundance Film Festival, which occurs in January.

How big is your crew?

It will be a skeleton crew. It will consist of myself and two or three others. That is what the budget is based around.

How did you come up with your budget?

Our budget is very modest for what we plan to accomplish.

Our biggest cost will be travel and rental of equipment. We took the per diem cost from 2013 for Pittsburgh to arrive at our daily lodging and food costs.

Rental costs are more straight forward, and there are no real flashy extras here. The equipment we are renting is essential to the production of our documentary.

At a glance our expenses are:

• Equipment - $1,137.09

• Travel - $1,905.89

• Fees/Processing - $257.02

How do I donate?

Kickstarter is a great tool to crowdsource projects. Essentially, you view projects people have, and if you like it, you can donate money to help make it a reality. Don't worry, it's very easy to do! You simply click the "Back This Project" button and enter the amount you want to donate, as well as your information. You will not be charged unless the project meets the budget.
