Dear all,
I'm writing to let you know that finally, after a few problems and delays, the fundraising campaign for the 2nd and final shoot of the "AIRWOLF" documentary is now LIVE!
Please see below for a direct link to the campaign. I would sincerely appreciate ANY AND ALL contributions.
Share it with EVERYONE you know. Even if you think they won't make a contribution, or aren't interested in a show like "AIRWOLF", you never know. Sometimes, it's from a person you least expect.
The target is $8,500
This will pay for a 3-4 week shoot, covering the stunt, visual effect, miniature effect, sound editing, camera, grip and costume departments from the original CBS series in California, culminating in a special planned reunion with them and the 40+ cast & crew interviewed last year. In addition, the budget will afford time to travel to Toronto and Vancouver to cover the notorious Canadian 4th Season; the final year, dubbed "AIRWOLF II" in production.
It's part of the INCREDIBLE STORY AND HISTORY of the show, and I've already secured 16 of the cast & crew. Despite it's flaws and constraints, the 4th Season, led by Barry Van Dyke, is still a significant and intriguing part of the "AIRWOLF" canon.
Take a moment to check out the campaign on Indiegogo, and do please share it with your friends and family. All the tools are there. Make a contribution and get perks in return, courtesy of co-producer Mark J. Cairns and his "AIRWOLF THEMES" brand, and the cast & crew of "AIRWOLF" (including special edition copies of the final DVD, phone calls and much more!), or simply follow updates. If enough people get behind it, we can make it happen.
It is also YOUR chance to become either an ASSOCIATE or EXECUTIVE PRODUCER on what is an unprecedented factual production on a famous television series internationally. This applies to any show or motion picture. This level and quality of retrospective has never been attempted before.
Please support the project in making this documentary the most in-depth, comprehensive and unprecedented retrospective on ANY television series.
It stands to be a 3-HOUR plus film (potentially longer), and will be absolutely outstanding.

CORRECTION: It was actually 63 people who contributed to the funds. I went off the numbers that were claimed on the actual perks, so apologies to those who I didn't "recognise".
It was much appreciated, and again, I'm indebted to you all. |

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
Woke up the morning to find another $500 had been donated, and a 5th Associate Producer as a result. That now takes us past our target goal of $8,500! It's finally over.
I'd like to sincerely thank every single person who contributed, and everyone who shared, retweeted, tweeted, e-mailed and called to send the word out about the campaign throughout the 7 weeks it ran for. I'm absolutely amazed and thrilled, and can't wait to get back to the States, in addition to Canada, to complete the filming of this mammoth & ambitious production.
For those of you who still wish to contribute, the campaign closes this Friday night at 11:59 PM, Pacific Time. That's West Coast / California, so to give a comparison for other parts of the world, London is 8 hours ahead.
To the people who contributed, we’ll keep you up-to-date about when you'll receive your perks. As you know, Mark J. Cairns, my co-producer, is still busy with the upcoming "Airwolf Extended Themes" sequel album. He's update on release is "coming soon", but the other "Airwolf Themes" gifts of $10, $25 and $50, will be prepared and dispatched by the end of this month (September).
For more info on AET, please visit Mark's blog at: http://airwolfthemes.blogspot.co.uk
For the higher-level rewards of $250, $500 and $1000, those will of course be delivered when the documentary is ready for distribution. And on that note, keep on eye on here for some major news concerning the release date. You may be seeing it A YEAR EARLIER than planned.
Once again, my sincerest thanks and gratitude to the 47 contributors (or shall I say, investors!), and please look forward to what will be one of the most unprecedented, extensive and in-depth retrospectives that has ever been produced on a television series or film. |

Hope you can continue to share the word, and bring us to target. We're almost there! $1700 to go (not $1600, as I mistakenly typed yesterday).

Dear all,
Tonight, we have a special update for you. An exclusive, 5-minute PROMO, showcasing the cast & crew of "AIRWOLF", discussing the unforgettable theme music and episodic scores by the show’s leading composer, Sylvester Levay.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YX_qFgFsysc
With thanks to co-producer Mark J. Cairns for cutting this, and producing the azimuth motion graphics that are based on those designed for the series, it's a fantastic preview I hope you'll enjoy.
It's also to push forward the IMMINENT deadline for the fundraising campaign. There is only 11 DAYS LEFT.
It ends NEXT Friday, 14th September.
If you haven't already made a contribution, and have been planning to do so (as I'm aware from three long-serving fans they are), I would hugely appreciate it if you could submit as soon as possible, so we have a better idea of how much we'll be left to raise in the final week. I don't mean to push at all, as we've done well so far, but there's just under $3,500 remaining to gather, and time's catching up on us.
Many thanks once again everyone and regards,
MARTIN GRANT

**IMPORTANT UPDATE**
With only 18 DAYS LEFT on the fundraise, we still have $3,550 remaining to gather, in order to complete all filming.
As we've had a massive surge of followers and traffic over the last few days, I'd like to sincerely ask each and every one of you to consider making even the smallest contribution.
A low-cost $10 perk was introduced over a week ago, and there's still many other rewards to be had, ranging from $25 to $1,000.
The LINK to the campaign is:

Please help us in reaching our goal, to complete all required filming of this special & unprecedented project.
Kindest regards and thanks again,

Hello everyone,
2nd week over, and we've just about raised half our target budget, largely thanks to our 2nd new Executive Producer.
So far, $4,000 has been raised. Another $250, and it'll be 50% there. Do you think you can be that next contributor? We'd sincerely appreciate it.
At present, it leaves us with $4,500 LEFT TO RAISE.
Please share this everyone you know, and support us in producing the biggest, unrivalled documentary on a single television series or film.
Thanks again,
Marty |

Hello everyone,
In our FIRST week, we’ve raised $2,400, since launching on Thursday, 26th July. Having received a further $500 today, we now have a total of $2,900 in the space of a mere nine days.
That’s OVER A THIRD of the target budget.
I couldn’t be more happy about this, particularly with the Olympic mania going on at the moment. Just goes to show that a thirty-year old television series like "AIRWOLF" still has a strong following and and a passionate fanbase worldwide.
My sincere thanks to all the backers so far, including our two new Associate Producers.
Here’s to the next 42 days. We also have a new, dedicated Twitter account for the project. You can follow us @AirwolfDoc. The blog will receive an update in the coming week.
Best regards,
Marty |

Please do consider pledging your support to this unprecedented production! The benefits to be had from it will be exceptional.
Many thanks and regards.
P.S. Joe, we'll be in California, Colorado and New York. |
