Director Spike Lee recently reached his goal of raising $1.25 million. He raised $100,000 more than his goal.
Spike says that people were not donating they were pledging. What ever a person gave they got something of equal value in return.
He says that he would not have been making films for over 27 years if every time he did something that people did not like he would run and hid and not make art.
I really love that statement from Spike because we often worry to much about what others think. It is a balancing act by trying to reach your goals and also take constructive criticism.
Once again congratulations to Spike and I can't wait to see the film. For the full interview check out the link.http://www.ebony.com/entertainment-culture/spike-lee-scores-kickstarter-goal-222#axzz2cpv4VqvR
