✨ M O T H E R W I T C H is Funded! ✨ ...for real this time...
I think..? 🥲

A score of new backers were inspired and came through to pledge contributions and help the project get to its goal. Thank you to everyone who has contributed! 🙏💫

And now, let's make it secure! >>> bit.ly/motherwitch

With 14 days left in the campaign, I'm aiming to get to $20K, which will help us cover Kickstarter fees, the Assistant Editor salary, hard drives, shipping, digital assets. So there's still time to join the team and be part of this incredible project. By contributing, you can get your name in the credits and receive some awesome rewards like exclusive links, unique perks, props, and more! 🎬✨

Every bit of support helps us bring this film to life!

🖤💖🖤

Φτάσαμε στο στόχο μας! ✨ Πραγματικά αυτή τη φορά...
τουλάχιστο έτσι θέλω να πιστεύω..?! 🥲

Ένας μεγάλος αριθμός νέων υποστηρικτών εμπνεύστηκαν και πρόσφεραν συνεισφορές για να βοηθήσουν το έργο να φτάσει στον στόχο του. Ευχαριστώ όλους όσους συνέβαλαν! 🙏💫

Και τώρα, ας το κάνουμε σίγουρο! >>> bit.ly/motherwitch

Καθώς απομένουν 14 ημέρες για την εκστρατεία, σκοπεύω να φτάσω τα $20χιλ, τα οποία θα μας βοηθήσουν να καλύψουμε τις χρεώσεις του Kickstarter, τον μισθό του Assistant Editor, τους σκληρούς δίσκους, την αποστολή, και ψηφιακά αρχεία. Οπότε υπάρχει ακόμα χρόνος για να γίνετε μέλος της ομάδας και να γίνετε μέρος αυτού του απίστευτου έργου. Συνεισφέροντας, μπορείτε να λάβετε το όνομά σας στις πιστώσεις και να λάβετε μερικές απίθανες ανταμοιβές όπως αποκλειστικούς συνδέσμους, μοναδικά προνόμια, σκηνικά και πολλά άλλα! 🎬✨

Κάθε μικρή υποστήριξη μας βοηθά να γίνει πραγματικότητα το

The M O T H E R W I T C H Kickstarter campaign is half way through but has hit a snag. Turns out one of the backers was a fraudster, and their account has been removed by Kickstarter. Which means we lost a big pledge, setting us back down to only 68% funded while just ten days ago I had announced that we achieved our goal. Turns out we still have a long road to go!

A resounding THANK YOU to all the supporters of the project who have helped so far, and who have generously contributed to help rectify the situation!

Η καμπάνια της ταινίας μας Motherwitch στο Kickstarter έχει φτάσει στα μισά του δρόμου, αλλά έχει παρουσιαστεί ένα προβληματάκι! Αποδείχθηκε ότι ένας από τους υποστηρικτές ήταν απατεώνας (καλικάντζαρος;) και ο λογαριασμός του αφαιρέθηκε από το Kickstarter. Που σημαίνει ότι χάσαμε μια μεγάλη δέσμευση, με αποτέλεσμα να πέσουμε στα 68% της χρηματοδότησης, ενώ μόλις πριν δέκα μέρες είχα ανακοίνωση πως είχαμε φτάσει στο στόχο μας. Υπάρχει ακόμη αρκετός δρόμος μπροστά μας…

Ένα θερμό ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΩ σε όλους τους υποστηρικτές του έργου που έχουν βοηθήσει μέχρι στιγμής και που έχουν γενναιόδωρα συνεισφέρει για να διορθωθεί η κατάσταση!
