I'm not really surprised about the lack of interest in the motion picture stocks, contributing $25 for a roll of 135 isn't as big contribution as $150 for 3 x super-8. And some small gauge shooters might be a bit reluctant to use new "hip" things such as Kickstarter ;)
I myself though pledged $140, hoping to get the Collector box to try the film in all different formats. $250 000 is certainly doable -- maybe even easy to reach -- after all NEW55 was able to raise $400 000 for a new (and rather expensive) bw type 55 instant film: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bobcrowley/new55-film Heikki On Tue, 30 Sep 2014 17:23:00 -0400 [email protected] wrote: > It is indeed looking good.
