I AM BIG BIRD - documentary about Caroll Spinney - Sesame Street

[panmanthe2nd]

Hi everyone,

Sorry if anyone else has posted this.

'Copper Pot Pictures' has a Kickstarter project running at the moment (ends on the 16th of this month) to make a documentary about Caroll Spinney. Caroll has been Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch on Sesame Street ever since the first episode.

They are trying to raise $100,000 so that they can finish the documentary, and so far they've raised almost $67,000.

On Kickstarter, you can help them raise the money by pre-ordering the DVD or Blu-Ray. The DVD is $25 and the Blu-Ray is $50. Or you have pre-order a DVD or Blu-Ray signed by Caroll Spinney for $100.

There's also a limited edition version of the Blu-Ray for $125. It's a 2-disc set which is signed by Caroll Spinney and has an exclusive cover designed by him.
At the moment there's 26 of them left.

Quote from Copper Pot Pictures about the 2 disc set:

In addition to having jacket art designed by Caroll Spinney, this special edition is going to be chock full of extras. We have access to literally hundreds of hours of video and thousands of photos from Caroll's archive. There's just not enough room in the film for all that material. Still, we know fans want to see it, so we're going to get as much of it as we can on this 2-disc set.
This 2-disc special edition is a KICKSTARTER EXCLUSIVE. You will only be able to get it here.
