You might remember a while ago I posted about an awesome horror movie concept called Chihuanhuas. You can find the original post here
In Chihuanhas, when a curio-collecting Professor returns from South America with a mysterious Piranha idol, it casts an ominous curse on his innocent Chihuahua “Lulu Bell”, and impregnates her with a litter of amphibious, mutant Chihuahua-Piranhas. Horrified, the Professor disposes of the idol and pups in a nearby mountain lake, but Lulu’s monstrous spawn soon return to repay the gesture...
Following the Professor’s demise, the ravenous critters seek out a pair of fatty-campers, their obsessive guide, a reclusive WWII veteran and a trio of vacationing porn stars. Led by the lake's ranger and her inept assistant, the eccentric team unites to survive and destroy the vicious rat-pack with available fire power, their bare hands and the most lethal of all processed cheese products!
Well, I and others have had an email from Jim Clark, the Director of the movie, and here is what he has to say:
Hi Nick,
Whether you know it or not, you guys have given a great boost to our film franchise "CHIHUANHAS", so thanks a ton! The film concept recently went viral and it's already been written-up in 25+ countries, on thousands of film fan sites, with over 130,000 google search results, so there's no doubt that we've found a worldwide audience. We explored the studio route, but decided to jump on a novel new way to finance the film with kickstarter.com. Now we want our fans to participate and help us get this film made!
If we reach our lofty target, we'll make film history and produce CHIHUANHAS with 100% audience financing, without the fat. The money we raise will employ more than 70 talented cast, crew and post production artists.
To the best of our knowledge, CHIHUANHAS would be KickStarter's highest funded project to date. This is a huge, important opportunity that will allow us to produce our first feature and distribute it directly to our audience, so we're going big!!!
Every dollar has to be committed before the money is released, and micro financing the project will require a lot of people, so your support is key to our success. It really takes a village!http://kck.st/9Uu7oR

Thank you in advance for getting the word out! Your support is greatly appreciated.Jim Clark

Fans have the chance to fund Chihuanhas and ensure that what could be the year’s best B-Movie appears on the big screen. Take a look at the link Jim provides as it tells you exactly how you will be credited for your donation from $5 to $5,000. They need a total of $750,000 and they have already raised a shade under $1,500, which has come from just 13 people. There are 78 days to go to reach this total.
Now’s your chance to get your name in the credits and I’m sure Jim would be forever grateful if we can get his baby to the big screen.
