Greetings Backers!<\/p>\n

We want to take a moment to thank all 139 of you for helping to get us so close to the 75% mark!\u00a0 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<\/strong>.\u00a0 So as always, PLEASE SHARE our project link and together we can finish this movie! (LINK FOR SHARING: http:\/\/kck.st\/1BXblCZ<\/a>)<\/p>\n

We are still getting some great press, including this excellent article<\/a> on SKY LINE by noted festival programmer and film consultant Basil Tsiokos… “In the Works: SKY LINE” –<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 These gorgeous prints, which also appear in our film, were generously donated by the artists and signed especially for this effort.<\/p>\n

LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN!<\/p>\n

… and a big THANK YOU from The Sky Line Family.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And from Shoot The Moon!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The campaign is going so well! We\u2019re over 50%, with hundreds of backers. If everyone convinced one person to back at $15, we\u2019d be made in the shade!<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s some big news:<\/p>\n

1) Benjamin and Idil are headed to Seattle this week to film some more scenes for the documentary. We wouldn\u2019t be planning this trip if we hadn\u2019t been filled with confidence by the outpouring of support we\u2019ve gotten in this campaign!<\/p>\n

2) Reddit AMA! Tomorrow, Wednesday, at 10:00 EST, 7:00 PST, we\u2019re doing an AMA on Reddit. We\u2019ll post the link here, but you can also follow @ShootTheMoonDoc<\/a> on twitter to get updates.<\/p>\n

3) Google Hangout 2! On Thursday at 12:00 EST, 9:00 PST, we\u2019re doing our second on-camera hangout where you can meet us and learn more about our project. Missed the first? It\u2019s right here<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Thanks again, and keep spreading the word. We\u2019re doing so well, now let\u2019s make a strong push to the finish line!<\/p>\n

Just a few days left.\u00a0 Please donate to one or both of these efforts and share this with your family and friends – thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
