Our crowdfunding campaign has ended. Although we did not meet our goal, we did raise a substantial amount of funding that will make a huge difference in our efforts to get Beyond the Mirage out to a wider audience. Your support has made this possible. Thank you. We would like to extend a very very special thanks to innovative companies like Wholesum Harvest, a food producer making giant strides towards water efficiency in agriculture. Many of the organic tomatoes for sale at Costco were grown inside of their greenhouses that have allowed them to be ten times more efficient than traditionally grown tomatoes. Some of the technology that they use is from another very special supporter, Netafin. They are the Israeli company that invited drip irrigation. As they like to say, "more crop per drop." This technology has the potential to feed millions of people in drought stricken regions of the world. We also need to thank, Chad Stevens, Andrea Miller, Michael Carpenter, Meg Hagyard, Marci Sheehy, Steven Cohen and Marty Bishop for your generous support. Because of you, we've raised over $5,000! The money will be dedicated towards hiring a team of professionals that will be able to get Beyond the Mirage to an even larger audience.   

What's next? To sustain water, we need to come together. Beyond the Mirage connects us, making critical water conversations possible. Through our documentary, interactive social web experience, and curriculum, we will expand and deepen these conversations as never before. We understand that in the 21st century, people want to actively engage with issues that affect their lives. The Beyond the Mirage experience will inspire users to go from conversation to action. We have submitted Beyond the Mirage to American Public Television for review. This could potentially put the documentary on Public Media stations across the West. We are also making plans for online distribution of the film. The web experience is still going strong and we are expanding it's use in classrooms across Arizona in the years to come.

Hi Everyone! 

This is the last week of the Beyond the Mirage crowdfunding campaign and we'd like to thank you for your generous donations! Generous contributions like yours, have allowed us to raise over $5,000. That's more than 35% of our goal! Just as a reminder, your money will be going towards hiring a team of professionals that will help get Beyond the Mirage to an even larger audience. 

Although you have gone above and beyond, we'd like to take this opportunity to ask for more help. Ultimately, this campaign is about spreading the word about the water crisis in the Southwest, and you can definitely help us with that! We'd like to ask you to follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and to like and share our posts. If you haven't gotten a chance, don't forget to check out our interactive web experience. You can delve through over 250 short video clips, edit them together and share them on your social media profiles.
