My Friends,
As you may already know I have been a huge advocate of CROWD FUNDING for a while now, believing it's not only the best thing to come out of the recession but repairing the ideals of the American dream in a way that never even existed before and guess what... it's working. I couldn't be more passionate about this subject which is why I have joined an amazing team to Co Produce "KICKSTARTED" a documentary on the Crowd Funding revolution and the future of creativity. Most of you still don't know much about CF but trust me you will and I'm hoping this documentary will be your invitation into this new world of opportunity right when we all need it the most. The stories are incredible. I would love your support by sharing and even becoming a part of the film by pledging. Please GOTO www.kickstartedmovie.com for more info. It'd mean the world to me if you'd spread the word by just sharing this or simply by clicking the Facebook and Twitter buttons on link. Every one counts!! To pledge any amount goto http://bit.ly/KickKS. I will keep a list of who has shared etc. and of course invite you to our "Goal reaching party" and the Premiere. AND give you any advice you need to launch your own crowdfunding campaign! I hope you'll come aboard and join the ride along with us.
Thanks,
Chris

An original documentary film about the crowdfunding revolution and the dynamic creators and entrepreneurs behind it.
