I don't think I need to put too fine a point on it but  - THE END IS NEAR!!!!!!!!!!

The end of the Kickstarter campaign, that is.

For those of you who have backed us thus far: THANK YOU BEYOND THANKS!

For those of you who have promoted us thus far: WE COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOU!

For those of you who might still be on the fence: JOIN US OVER HERE!

The support from family, friends, and fans of indie and horror has been awe inspiring and as we get closer to the last hours we need to keep up the hard work - especially with this being a holiday weekend.

Here's the link to post: http://kck.st/qZtHxk

As I'm sure you've seen, Zeke, Myke and I are constantly updating as things happen, like yesterday's addition of Vernon Wells the notable character actor who has donated time and money to the cause!

Zeke will be at the New Beverly Theater tonight for the screening of "Forbidden Zone" plugging away and I'll be around the O.C. reminding you college kids that beer may be fun, but supporting independent horror films is way more fun!

We're also going to try and shoot some video today to get up before we hit the LAST 24 HOURS!

Keep pluggin' and thank you all so much!

Curtis

Thank you is not sufficient to express the amount of gratitude that we have right now! 

Yesterday's pledges were humbling and amazing!

We have 2 days left and we are 40% funded!

Also, we have our first takers for the "Date with Gordy", "Make-Up Tutorial with The Wolf" and Co-Executive Producers! A thousand thank yous to you! 

The countdown on Kickstarter clock has changed from days to hours and, as you will learn from just about any book on screenwriting, nothing motivates a character like a ticking clock!

None of this - and I TRULY mean NONE of this - would be possible without your help! It has been wonderful and inspiring and most of all EFFECTIVE!

For the next two days I humbly request you keep it up! 

Here's the link: http://kck.st/qZtHxk

Please continue to post it and, if you have a spare dollar we'd appreciate the donation!

I'm going to try and get through all of the thank yous today - it is a wonderful challenge! 

Thank you again!
Curtis

The Cheerleaders Must Die Kickstarter Update for Monday August 15th

Don't let it be said that we as filmmakers don't have, what investors call, skin in the game. So far we have released what might be considered pretty "normal" rewards - but today we launch something all new, and all different: Win A Date With Gordy and Make-Up Lessons From The Wolf!

Yes, that's right, personal time with myself (and probably my wife so I'm not accosted) and Myke in exchange for your support. These are special types of rewards and have a few extra rules:

1) Please don't be crazy. Passionate is fine, being a fan is great or even just a student who wants some face time is cool - but if you end up being bat-shit crazy we reserve the right to make you leave.

2) These are limited to a MAXIMUM of 5 backers each. We don't have a lot of time and are more than happy to make time for our contributors, but we need to set a limit.

3) While you will receive all the other "typical" rewards should you pledge for one or the other the only way to get both is to pledge $501 or more, other wise pledge the amount for either of us. Hell if you want to pledge more, but don't want to cross the $500 threshold, just message us which you would like, we'll make a note.

Thank you so much and don't forget to tell a friend! You can copy/paste this link: http://kck.st/qZtHxk

See you soon,
Curtis

Big Update! Kickstarter, Story Time, Comic Con and MORE!

I know it's been about two weeks without an update, but I promise that we've had good reason for the silence - we have been cookin'!

Release of "3 Minutes with Curtis & Dean" and "Story Time with Ray" have continued unabated and if you are reading this via a reader on on the blog page proper you should be able to see the newest episodes right here:

If not, then go to the Wiggy Webs channel and catch up on everything you've missed!

We were at San Diego ComiCon last week supporting Director Zeke Pinheiro and our friends with the short film "The Price." It was an official selection at the Comic Con International Independent Film Festival and we want to say congratulations to them and good luck tonight at the Action on Film Festival! We have some pictures from the convention on the Wiggy Facebook Fan Page. If you haven't liked up please give it a click.

Speaking of film projects, we have launched a Kickstarter campaign for "The Cheerleaders Must Die!" We are raising funds to hire our casting director and pay our story board artist to keep pre-production moving as we finalize our production financing. This project has been such a roller coaster, having been promised funds three times and each time having something fall though. Even though we've faced some adversity, there is significant interest in the project and we are getting this movie made! You can be an integral part of this equation by participating in this campaign!

"What ways can I help?" - The best way is to contribute directly to the campaign. We don't need a lot of money, in the grand scheme of things, but it is more than we can make available without help. Any amount is appreciated and we have some pretty cool rewards for those willing to give!

"What if I can't donate? What then?" - Help us get the word out! Crowd source financing requires a crowd and the further it gets out the bigger the crowd! You can copy & paste this link: http://kck.st/qZtHxk It takes you right to the campaign and all the pertinent info.

 Tell a friend!  Tell twelve!

Well, back to work! Talk to you soon!

That's right, starting today Wiggy Webs is LIVE!

Above is the first of a long string of new content that will be released every week!

The current schedule is as follows:

• Wednesday - 3 Minutes with Curtis & Dean - Curtis and Dean discuss a variety of topics for 3 minutes.  Not a complicated concept, as you see above, but the discussions get pretty good even though they get abruptly cut off!
• Friday - Three Things with Rene - This show is coming later this month, but Rene is going to talk about three things she's loving and three things she's hating each week.

New shows will be added as we grow so don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel!
