"Project Wild Thing" on Kickstarter

 

If you go onto Kickstarter (www.kickstarter.com) and search for "Project Wild Thing" you will find an amazing documentary based on the No Child Left Indoors philosophy from author Richard Louv's book of the same name.    "Project Wild Thing" is the perfect antidote to the many hours our children are currently spending inside, addictively glued to their electronic devices, instead of having good, clean healthy fun playing outside and learning to love and respect our natural world.  Even though the film is produced in Great Britain, it addresses a wide problem that is also huge in the United States, as you can see from their website.  The film is being prepared for international screening and distribution.

David Bond and Ashley Jones, two award winning cinematographers who started a film production company in England called Greenlions, are the writers/directors/producers of this important film.  The film is slated to come out in 2013 for international and right now they are on Kickstarter to raise 30,000 UK pounds needed to finish filming a couple scenes and for editing.  They are already at 72% of goal with over 500 supporters,  but only have 4 more days to get fully funded or they get nothing.   You can go directly to the "Project Wild Thing" page at www.bit.ly/projectwildthing .

The above photo is one that Greenlions sent at my request for additional information - it is a telling visual for how most children of well-meaning parents spend a great deal of our time, starting at a very early age.  This young child represents many children and is great motivation for this film, as he happens to be the son of one of Greenlion's founders. Soon, I will publish the article they wrote, but right now, I just want you to visit Kickstarter so you can see "Project Wild Thing" for yourself. 

The way Kickstarter works is that you are given 30 days to meet your desired goal for funding and if you don't raise at least the total amount none of the supporters' credit cards get charged and there are no funds awarded.    Please check out "Project Wild Thing" and, if you like it, do whatever you can to support it.  I think you will enjoy and appreciate this important, worthy film and feel good that you helped to make it happen.   Even a little bit helps - the clock is ticking loudly now!   Thank you for your time and contribution.  I look foward to seeing your name along with mine as a supporter of this project.
