Spike Lee to raise $1.25 million for his film through Kickstarter campaign

A Kickstarter campaign is what the Academy Award-nominated director Spike Lee is banking on for his next project on ‘blood addiction’ which is tentatively titled The Newest Hottest Spike Lee Joint. It is expected that the Kickstarter will raise $1.25 million in the next 30 days to finance the film.

With a video on Kickstarter Lee came to know about the other projects which have taken financial help from such campaigns. Such projects include Veronica Mars which gained $5 million earlier this year and Zach Braff’s Wish I Was Here which raised $3.1 million in May. While detailing about the project on human beings addicted to blood, Lee stated it as “Funny, sexy, and bloody (and it’s not ‘Blacula’).” Lee’s film’s topmost Kickstarter donation is $10,000 and it will also prize the donor with a dinner and a courtside seat with Lee for a New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden. Lee said about the offer, “This is big, big time,” adding, “P.S. Knicks will be great this coming season.” Till now 352 supporters have promised a total of $29,105.
