Can’t wait to see how this project takes off. I know from experience, having backed two kickstarter projects that the mid-range rewards are what is really going to attract the majority of people. Not everyone is going to be able to afford a private screening or fly to the premiere or even have the available time for that.

That said, I think those mid-range rewards should be really well thought out. Soundtracks, digital downloads, posters etc. Here’s a kickstarter campaign that was successful that I got to be a part of, http://kck.st/qF0dhw and it reached it’s goal fairly quick. In that campaign, the mid-range ($10-$75) included everything from credit to a real, tangible product that the donor could walk away with, A poster, A collectors CD of the soundtrack, a T-Shirt, etc. That’s the sort of stuff that attracts me more than a skype phone call or anything. Something I can boast and show off to my friends, “Yeah, see that poster, that’s from a film I helped get funded”. Breaking some of the rewards, like the t-shirt, or the lens-cloth+t-shirt, into the 15-25-50 donation range could help attract a lot of the people who might not be able to afford the polarizer or the higher rewards, but still want to contribute.

The way I see kickstarter’s strengths is in providing a direct link up between product provider and product purchaser, you’re not just donating, you’re specifically buying the product you’re giving toward (and I think that’s awesome!), take for instance the cineskates campaign that’s more than met their goal.

Good Luck Jared, I hope this project get’s funded and I see myself giving no matter what rewards range you offer.
