Chelsea’s Light: A Brother’s Journey Kickstarter Campaign
“Chelsea’s Light: A Brother’s Journey,” a documentary film written and produced by Tyler King, officially began production in November of 2012. Compelling storylines unfold where Tyler’s scripted narration introduces the theme, “Where once was darkness – I now see light”. It’s a powerful message for the world to hear. “Chelsea’s Light: A Brother’s Journey” seeks to empower individuals across the country and to stand up as one to protect children by passing Chelsea’s Law in all 50 states.
Chelsea’s Light launched a Kickstarter campaign not only to finish post-production of this documentary film but to mark an important first phase launch of an effective awareness building campaign designed to spark a national movement of education, awareness and prevention to support actions that protect our children. We asked the public to take action by donating funds towards finishing this documentary and allowing Tyler to tell his story.
Our crowdsourcing fundraising initiative hit 100% funded in just less than 2 weeks and was a huge success. The Kickstarter campaign completed with 763 Backers and $68,496 pledged of our $50,000 goal. The campaign was 136% funded and more telling was the fact that the average pledge was $90.00 signifying that individuals felt connected to our cause and wanted to take action.
The King’s and Chelsea’s Light would like to sincerely thank the following individuals who helped make Tyler’s film a reality:
