Because I understood the power of the idea instantly. The 1 Second Film is all about the collective power of many to achieve something much greater than one person can achieve alone. It is a shining example of micro-collaboration.

Because it sounds like a really cool idea, it's great that people from anywhere in the world can connect with each other through film.

I did this for my love of film. Thank you to all those that had a hand in making this possible.

I really like this grass roots method of a fundraiser.

After I watched Pauly Shore Is Dead, I checked IMDb to see if Pauly Shore had done anything else lately. The 1 Second Film was listed in his producing credits. This project is awesome, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have my name on it!

I like to encourage this type of artistic endeavor. I feel like it's really important for people to support independent filmmaking.

60% ego 40% charity

I've just discovered your project, and I think it's an amazing, truly original idea. I'm a poor, broke college student, and I'm sending you my last dollar, and I couldn't be happier about it. Just one thing, make sure you don't screw up my name. I may be doing this for a good cause, but I'm also an attention whore who wants to see her name on the big screen and brag to her friends about helping to finance a movie. Thanks so much!

Why Not?

I heard about The 1 Second Film miraculously actually. I have a few friends in the film business down in the cold North of Ottawa and it appeared on their web pages as a link. After reading about The 1 Second Film project how in the world could I resist the temptation of being a part of such an ingenious idea?! I have to admit, I have never financed a film before. In theatre, however, I have lent many a dollar bill to help run a show…they don’t use the term starving artist for no reason. But I am glad to say that this film project is the first I am proud to hand over my check to. Not only is it creative and refreshing but it certainly is a worthy cause; artists know best how hard it is to get off your feet and really be able to support (financially) the projects you believe are necessary to share with the world. This project I believe is a history making moment. The faith of the team and those who want to be apart of it is truly inspirational to other artists around the world. Again, thank you soooooo very much for making this opportunity possible. I wish you all the best in this and future endeavours. If you need any help from us Canadians feel free to ask.

I am financing The 1 Second Film because it sounds like fun and there's a chance it could make a big difference to those involved and to the benefactors of the resources. I'm always glad to get involved in a project that I'm interested in.

I found out about the film while searching for Bob Odenkirk's new film on IMDB. Noticed he was producing this one... who wouldn't jump on the chance to work along side Bob?! :)

Because it seems like a good cause and it's certainly a unique idea.

I wanted to be part of something bigger.

I think the 1 Second Film is brilliant, and shows a lot of chutzpah, and will revolutionize all films under 3 seconds.

I'm financing THE 1 SECOND FILM to be able to say I worked with Stephen Chiodo, co-writer/director of KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE.

I saw the info on the various sequels in the works and they're all sounding terrific. I think that anyone with an eye (and an appreciation) for the extra-ordinary and the unique will be interested in what you are trying to accomplish. It is so creative, so innovative, that it will be over many people's heads, but those who you would really want to support your efforts will do so. I can't tell you how many friends I run into that have also taken part. I see a lot of their names on the list: Tony Bui, Jesse Bradford, Zack Schiller, Evie Ponce, Adam Colvin, BJ Novak...the list goes on. Anyway, congrats on all the support you've raised!

I love the simplicity behind the project!

I've been involved in this biz we call show for 20 years now but have never seen anything so novel, we had to be a part of this.

I will be telling many people about this - the project seems truly amazing and innovative. Bringing us to using film as a tool for expression and art as well as entertainment. The idea is very interesting and the site's descriptions of the process that each frame underwent makes me very eager to see the documentary that is said to play during the credits. Thank you for this great oportunity.
