That says that theater chains insist on being first. But the download/dvd could come after the theatrical run. It would be nice if, in exchange for helping to fund the movie, I could get, you know, the movie.

The movie is the point of the whole enterprise; it seems like a natural reward.

It's more on distributors than theater chains. I believe by giving first dibs to a good distributor will allow the movie to be released internationally (either on cinema or bluray / DVD) easier and faster.

But, everyone will be able to buy that. If you want the DVD after the run, you can have that.

The rewards are all things no one can buy except by backing the kickstarter.

I don't care about any of the rewards.

I want to fund the movie - not to get a t shirt, or picture. I want to fund it so I can watch it.

>I don't care about any of the rewards.

Then don't fund the kickstarter.

You can pledge whatever you want and then select No Reward ("No thanks, I just want to help the project.").

I can't get the DVD after the run if the kickstarter fails. I'd like to help it succeed by committing ahead of time to buying the DVD.
