Perhaps it's in the nature of television. Just waves in space.

Well I was hoping for comments beyond the typical, sardonic, "hurr it looks dumb, and they're ideas about X,Y, and Z are undefined so this must be crap."

I do think you were being unclear, to the extent that the criticisms you're levying against the project are about as valid as any comment made on the internet about something that hasn't fully gotten off the ground yet. I do appreciate a healthy amount of skepticism, but if you're not prepared to give the project the benefit of a doubt than, there's really only so much I can say to try and convince you of it's merit isn't there?

To address the questions you have regarding how the money will be spent:

1. If the movie doesn't reach its funding goal it still gets made, though with a Director who pays substantially more out of pocket, and less-well paid, and likely over-taxed (and therefore more pissed off, and less attentive) crew.

2. The funding is going primarily towards paying actors' salaries, the rental of camera equipment, and the construction of props that will be used in the film (the Armoire device that the movie takes it's namesake from, being one example.).

Your friend's movie sounds dumb, and doesn't deserve the money you are asking for it. It's great that you thought you'd come in here and make converts of us and we'd donate, but what you've put forth isn't really going to do that to anyone. You're only getting "typical, sardonic" responses because your friend's project is uninspired and doesn't deserve the money, not because "oh well duh people are just gonna go hurrrrrrr."

We now have a Crowdfunding forum, so I'm gonna lock/unstick this thread. Head on over there to talk about your project.
