THE MOVIE IS FINISHED!
Thanks to the 3,000 plus people who have donated to our film, FAT is now color corrected and sound mixed, ready for distribution. The $200,000 we raised was just what we needed to make our film and we are getting fantastic reaction so far.
That being said, we are in the process of getting our materials together for distribution. This process requires us to do many things before any distributor will put the movie out, which includes taking out an E&O insurance policy, "delivering" the movie (which will be accomplished by giving any potential distributor a long list of materials they need in order to disburse the movie around the world), and doing any preliminary promotional work.
Our goals have no changed and this is our chance to really push it over the edge and get the movie in front of as many eyes as possible. We can't wait for you all to see the movie!

Where will the money go?
THE FUNDS
We are looking to raise $150,000. This is the golden number where we will be able to get what we need to get done and more. Ideally, we'd like to raise as much as possible. Further, to get it to the level we know we can get it to, there are expenses, such as...
- A documentary takes time and location changes. We will need to hire camera people, grips and other crew as well as pay for any clip and music licensing that may arrive on the back end of making this film.
- We have amazing rewards for contributing to this campaign which include the movie, coffee subscriptions, producing credits, and even an in-home consult with Vinnie and Serena!
We're ready. Are you?
