**STRETCH GOAL $25,000**
We've hit our goal of $15,000 and because of that we are currently in the IN-DEMAND phase of our fund-raising! Your help in reaching this goal will allow us to enhance the over-all quality of the production and help to engage proper promotional channels to get as many eyes on the content as possible.
There are still some producer opportunities, great perks, and walk-on roles available. Also, if you are a business/brand owner, there are two new perks for product placement in our mini-episodes!
THANK YOU to everyone that has helped make this campaign a success! With your love and support we will be creating (3) mini episodes of The Ronnie & Eddie Show for our you-tube channel and to pitch to network television. We dedicate this show and all of our work to each of you and look forward to making you proud with the final product. :)
Love,
Ronnie & Eddie
