New Video Post For Kickstarter!!

OITG Kickstarter Campaign!


We have officially launched our capital campaign on KickStarter for “Out in The Garage”, a full-length documentary on the hotrod culture.
 As many of you know, hot-rodding is a passion of mine. The venture of raising funds to produce a film started with making short films, as a group of us travel around the country filming rodding events.
 You can see these shorts at: https://vimeo.com/mitchellloper
 What can you do?
 KickStarter is a crowd-funding site, where anyone can donate funds to a particular project. Donations range from a dollar to “the sky is the limit”!
KickStarter is an “all or nothing” campaign also, so we need as much “buzz” as we can get!
Please donate as much as you are comfortable with.
Another way you can help is send this on to as many people as you can, whether you are able to donate or not.  The more people that know about this exciting art project, the more likely we will get funded!
Please “like” Out in The Garage on Facebook, as well as on the KickStarter campaign page, all of these actions contribute towards a successful venture! https://www.facebook.com/OutInTheGarage
The campaign will be running for only one month. Once we are funded, we are headed off to the Bonneville Salt Flats for 2.5 weeks to film “Speed Week” where World Records are set for land speed times!
This is an exciting venture for all of us involved and we hope you continue to stay up to date through KickStarter and Facebook!
Check out the slew of rewards we have for donating various amounts on KickStarter!
We truly appreciate your time and support!
