In order to create the incredible world of modern day circus silk-aerialists, we raised a pre-production budget of $40,000.
We completed principal photography on April 26, 2012.
However, we need your continued help. We are still raising funds in support of our post-production process. Every dollar counts.
All support will be acknowledged and credited in the final film:
FRIEND $1 - $99
SPONSOR $100 - $249
PATRON $250 - $499
BENEFACTOR $500 - $999
PARTNER $1,000 - $4,999
EXECUTIVE PRODUCER $5,000 and above

We understand that some may not be able to contribute monetarily. However, in-kind contributions, such as services and transfer of stock, can still be made during our post-production process.
SERVICES
While we are nearing completion of the project, we are still in need of music for select scenes in the film. If you are a local band or musician (or non-local for that matter), and have a great song you think would play well as music that gymnasts, athletes, and dancers would listen to while they train, send it out way! We'd love to take a listen. Please contact Chelsea Marelle Benson, producer, for further details about how you can be a part of this project.
TRANSFER OF STOCK
A donation of appreciated stock is a great way to make a tax-deductible contribution to the film. Also, it may minimize capital gains taxes. Your donation of securities will be valued at the average of the high and low values of your shares on the date of transfer.
