I got a pledge today that makes this campaign break even, all of the advertising used to launch it will have been paid for... we engaged a few thousand people in meat space with handbills and posters in Minnesota, and lots of media in Los Angeles and NYC by social media, as well as women on facebook between the ages of 18-25 who like "adult entertainment"
My youtube channel statistics say we had just over 9,000 views last month and more than 10,400 minutes of viewing... during this period of promoting the crowdfunding campaign to make more.
One of the funny things is that serious political people who have kicked in have expressed an interest in anonymizing their donations or paying cash, like covering the adult industry is a dangerous and rebellious thing to do, like they are buying a mimeograph machine and paper to foment some sort of velvet revolution in Czechoslovakia in 1989.
Maybe it is that bad - maybe free speech is that vulnerable in America today...
