We all have goals in life that we have not yet completed; we put them off for another day. Sometimes it is due to fear, sometimes because of financial considerations; in other instances we just don't have the support network or knowledge needed to complete our life goals. The problem that some of us have with a bucket list is that we just add items to it, and never complete any of our goals.
The objective of this project is to make a documentary movie that invokes the passion within all of us to go out and try new things, to complete our life goals, to stop waiting for our lives to happen. We plan on picking three users from the Bucquistador website, funding one of their life changing goals, and filming their struggles and successes along the way. It is these successes that we want to focus on, to highlight accomplishment, to inspire action.
So, why do we need to make this film? Think to yourself, what are the last five YouTube videos you watched? I am betting at least one of them showed someone failing at a task. TV shows like America's Funniest Home Videos, Tosh.O and The Soup are all really funny, but they just highlight our failures. With so much focus on failure in today's society, some people are becoming discouraged. Rather than attempting their goals for fear of failing, they just don't put forth the effort.
This documentary is an attempt to change that, through an inspiration chain. By funding several life goals and filming the high and low points felt by each person, we can change not only that person's life but inspire others to attempt their life goals as well.
This film will be about our dreams, big and small. The choices we make, the struggles we endure, and the successes that are possible. We need to document these exhilarating stories because they not only make us feel good, but they inspire us to try to be a little better than we are now.
So, what is in it for you? You have the opportunity to impact multiple lives in a positive way. Depending on your contribution level you could also get great rewards like: Digital downloads of the movie, A DVD of the documentary, extra footage and production diary access, movie posters, thank you notes on Facebook and Twitter, mentions in the credits, Producer titles, t-shirts, postcards, or message in a bottle kits. With a $2500 contribution, you can also help us choose an individual that will get their life goal funded and filmed for the documentary.

The fundraiser goal is $15,000. With that amount we feel we could fund a life goal for three individuals, as well as film, edit, and distribute the documentary. If additional funds are raised, we will increase the number of persons featured in the film.
Thank you for your consideration and taking the time to read through this information and watch our video. We really feel that this project has the potential to impact many lives, and help people realize their dreams. We hope you come along for this amazing adventure.
The challenges we face with this project are timing. Many of the goals we could potentially help people accomplish will take a significant amount of time to complete due to licenses, permits, space availability, etc... But, just because it may take a little time and planning, it does not mean that they are not worth completing. In fact it only encourages us more.
So, we have set a tentative production time frame of November 2013, to accommodate the time it may take to plan and execute some of these life goals. Rest assured, we will be working the entire time to ensure you get the documentary and all rewards in a timely manner.
