But that was with 49 days left to go on their campaign. Now, with just four days left, they've raised almost $13,000 — a respectable sum, though still well short of their goal.

Ten dollars will get you a shout-out in the film’s ending credits, while $100 gets you a signed poster, $500 gets you a private screening and $20K gets you a full-on executive producer credit.
