We have launched our first KICKSTARTER Fundraiser and we want to achieve our goal we set forth to raise of $3,600.
The funding would help us in the following ways
Providing food for cast and crew during all shoot days
Provide transportation for cast/crew and equipment
Provide us the exact location we need to shoot the project
Help us get the permits and music licensing for the project
Help us enter Film Festivals with our final version of Checkmate in 2021 to bring awareness and attention to mental and emotional health through artistic expression
A few things to know about Kickstarter
Why we chose to use it as our fundraising platform? We have a bigger project that will be launched after Checkmate and we want to create our presence in the community and show we can succeed with a small project.
How does it work? Kickstarter is ALL or NOTHING meaning that if we do not raise ALL the funding in the allocated time we do not receive any of the funds raised.
What is our backup plan for fundraising? DIRECT DONATIONS - SAME REWARDS AND THANK YOU GIFTS but we receive the funds instantly and are able to create faster and in higher quality. FILL THIS FORM OUT FOR A DIRECT DONATION TO OUR PAYPAL https://forms.gle/XQZmb2Vrnh2q2KPZ8
What if we reach our goal in Kickstarter and we receive Direct Donations/Sponsorships? If we reach over our goal and have a surplus at the end of our project then we will be helping a human or small business in need in our community and begin the next CPI - a mans perspective on mental health docu-series.

I am going to be honest, the month of October has not been easy for me personally and for a lot of my humans (volunteers & artists) for so many reasons and our emotional health has been off the track a little bit. We have had to learn to navigate a few things personally and as an organization. We have had to make decisions and push forward even when we absolutely did not want to.
To inspire, motivate, and educate ourselves through a new Creative Project is what we all decided we needed to do not only for ourselves but the community as well. Mental, emotional health and our arts have taken a huge hit during 2020 and we want to take something back by creating something that only humans who WANT to inspire the change can create.
That is us!
WELCOME TO CHECKMATE PROJECT - The 2020/2021 CPI
We have many high goals and hopes for this project and the primary one is to create something for you to enjoy and experience from a different perspective. We want to raise awareness on the arts industry and its need to survive during this time.
