How do I get people to see my Kickstarter?

You have a unique idea for a doc here, but you seem a little unfocused. You should pick 4 or 5 things that are hugely popular in America (like Duck Dynasty, Phineas & Ferb or Furby Boom Figures) and take them to other countries.

Another problem you have with your campaign is the HUGE amount you are asking for with no info on how that money would be recouped? How long will it be? Is it part of a series? Will it be hosted by some expert in pop culture? You need to do your homework and find out who is buying docs (look up Converge TV, Netflix, Doc channel, etc).

Your own bio gives NO confidence that you manage a budget and produce a doc on a global scale. You offer no link to a budget, storyboards, script treatments or overseas film permits . For all we know you'll just spend the money on weed?

How does viewing "Independence Day" 29 times qualify you as an expert in pop culture? You say you love all things geeky but you fail to mention it or even provide a link to the geeky, quirky stuff you supposedly possess.

You need to throw out your personal plea (by your DVD collection LOL) and screen a ten minute segment of your documentary. Shoot it in your home town and interview recent immigrants if you have too. Let us SEE whether you have the chops to make a compelling documentary. This is the digital age and the costs will be minimum. Let us see whether or not you can convince a crew to go on this journey with you.

Oh, and there is no such place as French Canada. It is called the Province of Quebec, and they love what ALL North Americans love -- it is simply translated into another language (though most of them speak English). Good research is the cornerstone of documentary film-making and blatant mistakes like that is unforgivable.

AND Are you kidding with the percs?? Personalized postcards from the countries you will shoot in? What are you going to write in them? "Thanks for the vacation sucker!!!". If anything you should offer to ship them some cool, geeky stuff from your collection or even invite them to join your crew (at their expense).

Overall, yuk.
