Where Are We Now?

The journey to make this film began in 2007 at Christopher Rush’s funeral service. It was there that I first heard of Chris’ GO FAR inspirational program. And after hearing so many amazing stories about who he was and what he accomplished, I knew that Chris’ story needed to live on to inspire more people. Since then I have raised over $30,000 through various fundraising efforts, and I have shot over 35 hours of interview footage, as well as the service where Chris’ ashes were spread in the Cayman Islands.

Now the real work begins. I have spent months gathering family photographs, archived home movies, professional video footage from MDA, and all the interviews. I have found the perfect editor to work alongside me. I have a DVD distributor who has deals with Amazon, Target, Wal-Mart, and various other national retailers. And I have a schedule that will hopefully have a cut of the film ready by August 12th, 2012 - the 5th anniversary of Chris’ death. What I don’t have is the funding to keep going.

That’s where you come in. I’m currently raising additional funding to continue the post-production process. Please visit our KICKSTARTER page and help us keep this project alive.

My next short-term goal is to raise $5500 by February 12th. With that I hope to edit the first 20 minutes of the film within a month. Then my plan is to use the first act as another fundraising tool to raise an additional $25,000 which will get me through the editing phase. But I can’t do it alone.
