The kickstarter campaign for Boxer Story has ONE WEEK LEFT and we are 80% of the way to our funding goal. Many, many thanks to those of you who have already contributed on the site. Please spread the word to anyone else you think might be interested in being a part of this. Here’s the link…

Boxer Story is a 20-minute animated film about an up-and-coming boxer in 1970’s New Orleans. It’s a film I’ve been wanting to make for several year now.
For anyone out there unfamiliar with how kickstarter works…
Kickstarter.com is a site that provides independent creators with a way to raise cash for their projects by offering little incentives (like movie posters, copies of the soundtrack, etc.) to people who contribute money. But the campaign only lasts for 30 days and it’s all or nothing funding— which means if you don’t raise your funding goal amount in the alotted time, you get nothing. Again, Boxer Story is 80% funded with one week left. WE CAN DO THIS!
