What Do I Know?

Hey all,

As you know I have been gearing up to make my first feature film, Raymond Did It. I have been posting preproduction video blogs on my YouTube page (I know i’m way overdue to do one. It will be forthcoming shortly) and generally trying to get the movie together. We are pretty much launch ready. Got all our locations, cast, and crew together, doing a little set dressing this weekend, and our talent gets into town on Monday.

But we have a financing issue.

We need money. Badly. We had an investor experience a family emergency and it has delayed the flow of cash a bit. I have been asking the fans  to help us out on Indiegogo http://www.indiegogo.com/raymond-did-it

As of  right now i need just over three thousand dollars. We have raised nearly two thousand so far thanks to the individuals listed below. If you can help us at all,even with a one dollar donation, it would be greatly appreciated.

A thousand million thanks to the individuals listed below for their aid in making my film happen, and by extension, making my dream come true. Without your support, I have nothing.
