I don’t think we’ve covered up our general love for Gary King’s New York Lately (My Review) and I know that both Andrew and I are eagerly awaiting What’s Up Lovely (Check out the Trailer). King’s next project that he would like to do is a musical called How Do You Write a Joe Schermann Song. King is trying to finance this movie using Kickstarter. Kickstarter allows anyone to donate money to the cause and he only has 9 days left in the pledge drive. King needs $30,000 for the pledge drive to go through (no money is donated if he doesn’t reach his goal). I’ve chipped in what I can and now I’d like to ask you to chip in whatever amount you can afford. As a special benefit of donating today you can get a free copy of New York Lately or What’s Up Lovely if you donate over $25.00. If you have already donated you can also add an an extra $5 or $10 to your contribution and you will receive one or both of them.
We believe in Gary King. What a wonderful incentive for people who have already contributed. Go, Gary, go!
Damn, he’s at 72% already? Nice work Gary!
And that’s a hell of an incentive. NYL is awesome and WUL I am really really looking forward to (Lynch meets Wong Kar-Wai + Soderbergh I’ve been told).
Thanks for posting about this, John! I’ve been meaning to, but kept forgetting when I was actually at my computer. Gary’s got some clips and songs about the concept on the film’s site; I’d love to see this get made. Wish I had more money of my own to put towards it.
And more than 100% funded with an hour to go! Looks like we’re getting a Gary King-directed musical.
Congrats Gary on raising your quota! Hope the Row Three readers and contributors small contributions and publicity helped the cause!
Thanks everyone for this amazing support! I couldn’t have done it without people like you sharing the project. We are excited to shoot this summer and share the film with you next year!
Keep up the good work, Gary.
