“Wish I Was Here” Makes Personalized Trailer For Each Kickstarter Backer Christopher Moore, May 19, 2014May 19, 2014 I’m not ashamed to say that I contributed to Zach Braff‘s Kickstarter campaign for his new film, Wish I Was Here. I loved his directorial debut Garden State and I was interested in seeing what he would create in his follow-up and companion piece to his earlier film. For those like me who contributed, Braff just released his new full trailer for the film and he found a way to personalize it for each Kickstarter backer. Check out the trailer after the break to see how he did this.For those who pledged money to his campaign, a link was given based on each person’s email that allows for a specialized introduction, where Braff gives a specific “Thank You” to that person. Here’s my video introduction along with the trailer: Despite what you might think about Braff‘s Kickstarter campaign, I think this is a unique and cool way of giving special recognition to each backer as well as a great way to spread the word about his film. Due to the customized intro, people will be willing post this personalized trailer on their different forms of social media. It’s a great way to virally market your film along with thanking the people that made that film happen.If you don’t know about Wish I Was Here, per the IMDb page, here’s the synopsis of the story:‘Wish I Was Here’ is the story of Aidan Bloom, a struggling actor, father and husband, who at 35 is still trying to find his identity; a purpose for his life.
