Actually, they reached the funding they need to START the movie. I assume they have other backers who agreed to fund the movie if they could collect at least 25% up front.
And I am one of the ones who did not donate. It seemed like a long shot and I saw no published plans to refund the donations if the goal was not met.
I hope the movie is a success - I know I will buy a ticket or a copy or both because I am a bus fan.

Sweet! They reached their funding for finishing their movie - looks like just before the deadline. I ran through the names of the backers and my unofficial count is no less than 20 members of this list backed this - very cool. Could be more but I just did a quick count. _____ No virus found in this message. Checked by AVG - www.avg.com Version: 10.0.1209 / Virus Database: 1500/3595 - Release Date: 04/24/11 |
