The fact that this kickstarter actually worked is a huge accomplishment. Hedge, tuck away two premiere tickets for me under a couch cushion somewhere... I don't want to miss it.

Hey guys, you got a very nice write up by the always-articulate and interesting Matt Jeppsen of FreshDV:

"Those who have frequented DVXuser over the years will no doubt recognize the name Macgregor.
He’s been creating and sharing hauntingly beautiful short films for years now, and has quite the following
of fans. Back in 2006, he made a short film called SIMILO with the DVX100 and a pre-production Cinemek
35mm lens adapter. The idea was to create a short film concept, to help raise funds to make a longer
version of the same story.

As of summer 2009, principal photography on SIMILO has wrapped. Now they just need $25,000 to finish
post-production and VFX on this sci-fi story. And Macgregor and producer Mike Hedge chose to use
Kickstarter to raise those funds. They’ve already raised over $14,000 from the community, and you’ve got
less than 2 1/2 days to pledge cash if you wish to join them. You can check out their Kickstarter project
here, contributions can be as little as $1. Those who contribute $40 or more get access to an HD
download version of the film, and there are rewards for higher pledges as well ($4000 gets you an IMDB
producer credit).

Why are we sharing this Kickstarter project here when we have no vested interest in it? I’m glad you
asked. Because it’s the first Kickstarter short film project that came across my inbox that I personally
might back, and it’s a good example of how to properly use the Kickstarter concept as an independent
filmmaker. Not to mention that Macgregor’s films are always extremely visually engaging, and this is a
project that I’d love to see finished. So if you agree, head on over to their project page and support
your local filmmakers.

Not sure who Macgregor is? Check out the teaser of SIMILO, embedded below. Note: some NSFW
nudity."

...and if anyone hasn't checked out Matt's blog, they should. He''s been serving up awesomeness for years.

Hey man, congrats on reaching your target but I'd say open it up again sometime soon, there's still plenty of us only finding out about it now and would love to be involved.
 
Looking good... you must be excited to see this epic production journey finally coming to an end!
