We’re Back Online At Kickstarter!

We told you all recently how many people have encouraged us to try to fund Children of Pearl again through Kickstarter.com. Tonight, we’re pleased to announce that we are indeed up and running at Kickstarter once more, this time at a different link: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/childrenofpearl/children-of-pearl-second-campaign.

The “Second Campaign”, as we call it, has a far more modest goal of about $48,000. We were able to start this campaign with this lower target for completion thanks to our production partners agreeing to work for less when the project is fully funded. We’ve also had to drop some planned creative elements of the documentary, at least for the time being. But the important thing is that, if we can get to our new goal, the stories we’ve collected so far will be supplemented with new ones from the child survivors we’ve met recently, and all those stories will get presented, with the program offered for distribution by any broadcast programmer who would like it. This niche of history won’t be forgotten in that case.

If you were one of our initial backers, we need you to renew your pledge at the new link. All you are doing is extending your pledge, really. Your first pledge was cancelled, and now if you will simply repeat the pledge process, we’ll be back on track.

The Children of Pearl Second Campaign will run until June 3, and we’re trying once more largely because of the constant encouragement of so many who have contacted us through this blog. So, please stay with us and spread the word once again.

Thanks! Stay tuned to see how we do, and learn more about Children of Pearl.
