GOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLL!

THE CAPS LOCK IS PRESSED AND THE EMOTIONS ARE ELECTRIC BECAUSE WE HAVE FLOWN PAST OUR FUNDRAISING GOAL OF $8,000 WITH 2 DAYS LEFT TO RAISE EVEN MORE!

Okay, that might have been a little intense. But yeah, needless to say we are so happily grateful and gratefully happy because of all you fine people! I even wrote a little post about it pouring my heart out here. But for all you non backers, I just want to extend my extreme gratitude to anyone who took the time out of their day to help spread the word, visit the kickstarter page, or even show interest in our little project. Without every single one of you, this movie would just be some words typed onto a piece of paper. You guys are Dr. Frankenstein and are helping bring it aliiiiiive!

Sooooo this is probably the last time I'll push this link out (okay, let's be real, I'll probably do it once more tomorrow), but please contribute any way you can while there is still time left - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1739440328/laying-over

Thanks so much again. Y'all are the bee's knees.

Love,
Jake

Memory lane

I first read the script for Laying Over in January. Jake and I met to talk about it over Thai food. I think I got the Pad See Ew. Not really sure though. I was like "This script's cool bro, if you want me to be Rachel then goddammit I'll do it."

Nine months later I'm also a co-writer and co-producer, and we've raised over SIX GRAND. But while I signed on in January 2011, this film's been a year and a half in the making. It's a labor of love for every single person involved, including everyone reading this post. We need your help to reach our fundraising goal of $8,000. We're only one week away from the deadline!

Everyone who knows me well knows that behind this hard gangsta exterior, I have a sentimental heart. I'm secretly a big fan of babies, cute puppies, and sappy movies. Hell, I even cried during Big Momma's House (you know the scene where Big Momma comforts Nia Long).

Thinking about how far we've come is a trip down memory lane. But we're not done yet. Oh no.
