Pun intended. We’re in the last few days of the Kickstarter campaigns for two space elevator documentaries. Status updates from the producers:
First from Sky Line:
Greetings Backers!
We want to take a moment to thank all 139 of you for helping to get us so close to the 75% mark! As we close in on 15k raised, we’re left with LESS THAN THREE DAYS to reach our funding goal — the campaign ends Wednesday night. So as always, PLEASE SHARE our project link and together we can finish this movie! (LINK FOR SHARING: http://kck.st/1BXblCZ)
We are still getting some great press, including this excellent article on SKY LINE by noted festival programmer and film consultant Basil Tsiokos… “In the Works: SKY LINE” –
Please note that there are just two pieces of art left for contributors to the campaign at the $500 level: SPACE HOTEL by David A. Hardy and SPACE ELEVATOR by Richard Bizley. These gorgeous prints, which also appear in our film, were generously donated by the artists and signed especially for this effort.
LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN!
… and a big THANK YOU from The Sky Line Family.
And from Shoot The Moon!
The campaign is going so well! We’re over 50%, with hundreds of backers. If everyone convinced one person to back at $15, we’d be made in the shade!
Here’s some big news:
1) Benjamin and Idil are headed to Seattle this week to film some more scenes for the documentary. We wouldn’t be planning this trip if we hadn’t been filled with confidence by the outpouring of support we’ve gotten in this campaign!
2) Reddit AMA! Tomorrow, Wednesday, at 10:00 EST, 7:00 PST, we’re doing an AMA on Reddit. We’ll post the link here, but you can also follow @ShootTheMoonDoc on twitter to get updates.
3) Google Hangout 2! On Thursday at 12:00 EST, 9:00 PST, we’re doing our second on-camera hangout where you can meet us and learn more about our project. Missed the first? It’s right here!
Thanks again, and keep spreading the word. We’re doing so well, now let’s make a strong push to the finish line!

Just a few days left. Please donate to one or both of these efforts and share this with your family and friends – thank you!
