Why are we not funding this movie? From the kickstater page , "A man lives in the ghetto with his family, He is attacked by radioactive monkeys and he then starts to believe he has super powers."

Risks:
1. The Movie could be a flop as I have never made a full length movie before.
2. It might not be completed by Summer of 2015.
3. I do not have a high quality camcorder.
4. Unfortunately I have no other funds to put into this movie other than from this Kickstarter

I kind of want him to get funded, just to see how pissed people are going to be when the movie doesn't get done. He doesn't even have actors lined up.

Also on his poster it says movie by 420studios

The movie poster is literally just someone's face pasted onto Riff Raff's body. He's even got the fake ass Breitling and everything.

I really dont think these guys knew what they were getting into. Sending all of those recipe books, t-shirts, hats, photos is going to be a bitch for them. Regardless they made 50 fucking thousand dollars off it. Thats absolutely nuts.

The recipe book is gonna be like 5 pages. It has a recipe from each country someone backed from. Would be great if it only had 3-4 recipes in it.

if it doesn't get fully funded, do you get the money you put in back? I've always wondered this

Remember, you don't give them any money, you pledge it. You're only charged when it's funded. So if they don't get funded, you don't get charged.
