Live Streaming the Conclusion of the 'Man-child' Campaign
The Kickstarter campaign for Man-child ended successfully at 108% funded: $125,100!!! Thank you all so much — it’s been a dream come true. If you missed the deadline, you can still back the project here! According to Ustream we had over 1,300 views of our live video stream of the concluding party — the archive of the video is below. Thank you all for making this possible, from the bottom of my heart! Now the real work begins…
Before watching the live stream archive, a couple of disclaimers: first of all, the broadcast begins before I actually hit record, so the first couple of minutes aren’t exactly riveting. Then, quite anti-climatically, Ustream reaches its record limit a few minutes shy of the midnight deadline and our resulting euphoric celebration — as well as my thanks at the end. Finally, if I don’t seem as enthusiastic as I should, it’s because I’m exhausted at this point after 38 days of pushing the campaign far and wide. Also, the language is somewhat R-rated. But the event was a great time, thanks to everyone for coming, thanks to everyone who tuned in, and last but not least thanks to Zack Lieberman for MCing!
And again, thank you all.

We’re enjoying the Ryan and Zack show! Nice of you, Zack, to co-host this. It’s so exciting for all of us who have believed in this project—so happy and so proud!
You asked for feedback on sound level. That’s fine, but Zack is pretty much in the dark. (we mean our of the light, not out of it).
XOXOXOXOX

I know! Strange, I thought the recording didn’t start until we hit “record,” but apparently it just went on its own.
I wish the video included my thanks at the end… that was a big part of it… but I hope a few people watching it live saw it. Thanks so much for excellent microphone controlling Zack!

Big congrats Koo. This is what social media is all about. You have certainly earned a lot of good will with nofilmschool.com. Best wishes with the project.

“…I thought the recording didn’t start until we hit “record,” but apparently…”
As long as you get it figured out before you start filming Man-Child… Just joking!The concept behind your NoFilmSchool blog was right on, at the right time. The execution has been excellent – lots of attention to detail. I’ve learned things…I sent a little money. We’ve come to expect great things.
Looking forward to Man-Child. I hear it’s going to be great.As good as this blog has been, I hope you get to focus on the filmmaking.

Hahah well I guess “recording too early” is better than “forgetting to hit record,” right? Thanks for your support!
