We are now soliciting donations to be used for paying an editor to complete the documentary! We’ve tried a “volunteer” editor for a long time, and have not gotten good results, so to get the level of quality we want for this very special project, we’re going to have to get together some funds. The goal is $6,000 which will be used for an editor first, then animator and opticals. Anything not used to pay for those persons/skills will go towards the documentary: advertising, and reimbursement of costs (bandwidth and other documentary costs). Be assured, NO ONE is going to make ANY profit off your donations!
If you wish to donate, it's easy. Click on the paypal button:
Monetary donations are viewed as volunteer contributions, as important as people who have worked on the film in other areas, so we want you to be recognized. SO, if you wish your name/twitter ID to be added to the list of people who have donated, please include that in the paypal message.
Donor Levels & Perks
- Anyone who is a repeat donor gets a unique icon.
- Anyone who donates $99 or below gets their name & twitter or Facebook ID, on website.
- Anyone who donates $100 through $499 gets their name at the top of the list with a special icon next to the name.
- Anyone who donates more than $500 to $999 gets their name highest on the Peace Offerings list, a special icon, as well as special thanks in the closing credits of the film.
- Anyone who donates $1000 - $2999 will have their name in their own special section at the top of the webpage, an honorary producer credit in the film, with executive producer credit in OP and a special thank you in closing credits.
- Anything above $3000 will have everything from $1000 plus a direct link to their website. ( $100, $500, $1000 and $3000 can be groups combining funds but $3000+ donors can link to only one site).
What are the perks of donating large?
Anyone who donates any amount gets their name/username on our webpage where the film will be viewed for free. The more your donation or repeat donations, the higher your name falls in the list. For those making donations above $999, your name will be in a special box specific for large donations. Within a week of the donation, your name will appear on the site. Updates are made often and we get quite a bit of traffic regularly, and visitors will see your name.
Another perk for the $1000 and up donors: Once the film goes live, we expect no less than 10,000 hits the first day. We plan to keep the site up and running a minimum of 3 years after. For those who donate $1000+ and $3000+ get's their name in the credits of the film. Nasa also has asked to adopt the film it into their library which means many more thousands will see your name.
